One hundred push ups--9.1.08 start group

[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?

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.

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!
