Hey,

I'd love to get in on this, and start this week... I opened the draft spreadsheet...but a little clueless?? still...any help greatly appreciated..

Thanks

: )

My name is Heather. I started on 9/2 in column 1. I have a very long ways to go!

[Jones]

My name is Jones, I am definitely in for starting week 1 on 9/1, and I am in column 1. Thanks for doing this.

Milkbone, go here to learn about it. You can start next week. It might be tough to do it all this week now that it's Wednesday...

[tulip]

I'll start on next week's spreadsheet. Great idea.

[yellow]

As far as I know, we don't have a volunteer to start next week's spreadsheet as week 1 yet...

SadieKate is keeping track for those starting this week. Anyone up for compiling stats for those who are starting at week 1 NEXT week???

[yellow]

A big thanks to SadieKate for being so organized and so patient!

OK, I did day 2 of week 1 this afternoon. Ouch. But I survived.

12-12-10-10-30 (74 total)

It is most definitely easier when one has NOT had wine immediately before doing pups.

Flybye, I thought you weren't starting until next week??!! Welcome to week 1!

[Grits]

This is Grits. I started the challenge 9/1 and am in column 3.

Thanks for tracking this!

I think I've got the spreadsheet updated through this post.

tulip, let me know if you're volunteering to take on the spreadsheet for next week's group and I'll send it to you.

I can't believe no one has come up with an acronyn for the spreadsheet. Wait a minute . . . PUSS? But how is it pronounced?

[SouthernBelle]

Here's my take as the PUS with very little brain: If the minimum # of pups is too much, you should first modify the type of pup for lower intensity. If that isn't enough, just tell the PUS (me) to put you in the next group down (fer instance, move from group 2 to group 1). If group 1 is too intense, keep modifying to decrease intensity - like using a bench, a higher bench, a physio ball, a wall, etc. By modification of the pup and the group, we should be able to follow the 6-week program as a group. Otherwise, the PUS and her spreadsheet will disintegrate before your eyes.

As the KISS-method PUS, this is my recommendation.

However, this should be approved by the PUC and PUO.

Cool, but not really my Q. The re-test every 2 weeks is what tracks our progress. Are we tracking that?

[SadieKate]

Um, where do you see this? I printed out the weeks but I don't think all the notes printed.

Editing: I found notes online at the bottom of weeks 1 and 2. Let's ask the PUC and the PUO.

Cool, but not really my Q. The re-test every 2 weeks is what tracks our progress. Are we tracking that?

The re-test after weeks 2, 4 and 5 is also supposed to re-assign your group level. When I asked about that before, I wasn't talking about do-over weeks (which I expect I'll have to do - but I think we can just report our totals each week and not worry about which "week of the program" we're on).

Since the ultimate goal is 100 pups in one set, it seems to me that the max-out tests are relevant. It doesn't really matter to me one way or the other if we put them in the spreadsheet (honestly I was going to skip the Week 2 test anyhow, since I'd already be in group 3 for weeks 3-4).

What does anyone else think? Want to track the interim one-set max-outs?

At any rate, SK (aka 100PUS ), thanks for putting this all together!

[jesvetmed]

I'll do it! I somehow missed this entire conversation.
I'm 41 and can do 24 right now before total collapse. Not timed, right?

So where do I start on the spreadsheet....? 3?
THANKS! This is good for me -- we do some at Boot Camp, but I tend not to bother the rest of the week.

Boy, not sure I want to post numbers after you Jes! I'm starting at column 2 with 7 pushups done in the initial test. I must have been having a bad day though cause when I completed Day 1 I did the 7, 7, 5, 4, and managed 10. LOL! Ummm, I'm going to have to fudge and do 2 days in a row this week since I didn't get Day 1 in until today. I'll do Day 2 & 3 on Fri/Sat.

Thanks for all the work!
