I don't know why he put those stupid rankings in that table for the first testOriginally Posted by kjay
- it seems to be confusing a lot of people. If you did 6-10 pushups in your initial test, you're in COLUMN (group) 2. If you did 11 or more (which could still put you in "rank 2" on the initial test), you're in group 3.
Your third day total would be 63, then. Good job! We're only summing the third day. And since you're in the 9/1 start group, if you want to be on that spreadsheet, post that total in the 9/1 thread so SK can add you in.

Hey Life...if I can post my pathetic amount of pushups, you can to. I struggled to do 11 day one. I'm worried if I can even do them tomorrow. I have no upper body strength. I'm probably the weakest on this thread.
Oh well at least I'm giving it my best shot.

OK, I did my self test last night. I was too afraid my group would be too hard, so I stopped after 11. I'm over 40 but under 55, so that puts me in group 2. Two more and I would have been in group 3, and I don't need that kind of pressure!
I will do my first workout tonight. I plan on following a Tues/Thurs/Sat schedule (I can't do Wednesdays). Hope that doesn't disqualify me from this group?!
Edited to add: DUH. I just reread the site, I get it now. I'm in Group 2 to start...but I'm working from column 3 for the challenge. That's confusing, isn't it?Last edited by GLC1968; 09-09-2008 at 08:39 AM.

it says to not pay attention to rank... or age for that matter. Originally Posted by milkbone

regardless of how old you are (or rank) ... on your initial test, if you did:
up to 5 pushups - you follow the first column... group 1
6-10 pushups... you follow the second column... group 2
more than 10 pushups - you follow the 3rd column... group 3

I agree w/ Chicago...pick you column based on what you can do.
Column 3 is a bit tough if you only do a few past 10....(as i stated in another post on another thread of the PUPS!)katluvr

I just did my first workout tonight. It was HARD...but it's supposed to be, right? 10-10-8-6-8 I might have eaked out one more on the last set if one of our dogs didn't take that moment to lick my ear!
If I can't do Thursday's workout, I may be asking to move down a group. We'll see though...My new non-farm blog: Finding Freedom
