One hundred push ups--9.1.08 start group

[OakLeaf]

I'm 41 and can do 24 right now before total collapse. Not timed, right?

So where do I start on the spreadsheet....? 3?

No, not timed.

Yes, you're in group 3.

We're working this program. So even though we're reporting a day 3 TOTAL, we're doing these push-ups in sets - five sets the first four weeks, then moving up to eight and nine sets. I plan to follow the training plan pretty much to the letter. I don't know that it's any better than any other plan, but it's there, so I'll try it.

Which brings me to...

Did everyone notice that the rest time between sets changes from day to day? It seems to me that mixing up the rest time is important to our ultimate goal of increasing the number we can do in one set. So I'm planning to pay attention to that part - do the pups where I can keep an eye on a clock with a second hand, or have a stopwatch.

Yes, I did! I have to figure out what to do. 90 secs is an eternity in my less than patient world. 30 no problem. 90??? It'll probably get easier to rest as the workouts get harder.

I'm using the child position with my arms back by my feet to give my shoulders a rest.

jesvetmed, as far as reporting your Day 3 total on Sunday morning, remember I'm on the west coast. Use the PUC,s plan; the first week is going to be a bit discombobulated no matter what.
