One hundred push ups--9.1.08 start group

[Grog]

I would rather have ran 20 km.

Column 2, Day 2: 9/8/6/5/7.

I tried to do 8... I couldn't push back up, fell on my knees!

Oh well.

I tried to do 8... I couldn't push back up, fell on my knees!

Honestly? That's the definition of maxing out. We should ALL be doing that on the last set. Except, try not to disengage your core before you're flat - fall on your chest or your face instead

And - for those who want to supplement this program, how about some back and rear delt work, to balance all that anterior work?

On the rear delt flyes, see Wahine's cautions in this thread.

I will be starting this coming Monday... 9-8-08 I could start today but M/W/F seems much more logical.... will give me the weekend to rest the arms... which I know I'm going to need!

The program seems hard though... I can only do 6 push-up right now... I find it hard to believe I will be doing a 100 in 6 weeks?

Week one, day 3, column 3: 63 pushups

That is the most I have ever done in a short period of time! I get nervous when I look ahead at weeks 5 and 6, so not going to do that any more! My husband and 2 sons are doing it too.

Gosh, I'm so very extremely epically excited that y'all are on the pup bandwagon. And Oakleaf, you are filling the PUC role PERFECTLY. I thought it might be fun for a bunch of us to share in the misery. The coaching and spreadsheet prowess (on the part of the PUS) are a big bonus.

I will do my pups tonight. Amazingly, I am not sore at all. But then, I hurt my foot last weekend (it had to do with wet flip flops, a large dog, and alcohol...stupidity on my part) and that seems to be the focus of my weekly pain energy (this week). Like the PUS, I like to get into child's pose in between sets. Actually, for the 90 second rests, I did a little bit of down dog and child's pose. Since the gaps will be longer today, maybe I'll be able to do a whole sun salute in between!

Week 1, Day 3, Column 2: 43 pushups. Wow. I'm impressed with myself! And my arms are really tired now!
