CyclePUPs Week 2

[NoNo]

No, I definitely don't have to be here. I guess I feel a little better knowing that ear infections (as far as I can tell) aren't contagious, so I'm not going to make my coworkers sick. I'm currently trying to decide if my stomach can handle the salad I brought for lunch.

Checking out for a few days. Going down to Kahleefonia for the Waves to Wine, heavy on the Wine please.

I probably won't be updating anything until Sunday night at the earliest though yellow may update as she can.

Got my PUPs schedule with me so I should be able to stay on track. I'm very happy to say that my arms are already showing the results. Firming up the wings.

I forgot to report....

Week #1 - Day 1: 7,7,5,4,6 - Day 2: 9,8,6,5,10 () - Day 3: 10,8,8,5 ,10

Week #2 - Day 1: 9,8,6,4,9 - Day 2: 11, 9, 7,7,10 ()

It's really hard for me. I'm not sure why. I work with small children and have to lift, carry, hold and play all day long. I thought I had decent upper body strength.....this is proving me very sadly wrong

I'm going to keep on trucking though.....

Kvixen, we'll get you updated at the end of the week.

NoNo, congrats on being the first totaler for week 2! Now, go rest before you do your exhaustion test!

My week 2, day 1 was 12-12-9-7-26. Day 2 (yesterday) was 16-13-22-11-32. Day 1 was tough; I was all-over fatigued from my long and arduous trail run the day before (4400' of climbing in about 7 miles). Felt better yesterday. So far, my day 2s seem to be the best.

SadieKate, have fun in the sun!

Week 2, Day 3, column 2 - 50 pups total for Day 3! Woohoo!

I'm looking forward to testing on Saturday. I bet I can do a lot more than the 10 that I started with.

[Grog]

Switching column has proven great for me.

Today I did Week 2, Day 2, Column 1, so:

6 / 5 / 3 / 3 / 12 (minimum requested was 6 I think)

With lots of dancing to some tacky music in between.

I am feeling confident that I will be able to do at least 16 on the weekend.

Next week looks interesting. No matter what the result of the test, I'm going to stay in column 1. Week 3, day 1 looks like this: 15/12/12/10/max at least 15. Wait... that means...

That's at least 64 pushups. I'm currently doing 29 in one session.

Hummmmmm. Speaking of an intensive program..........

[OakLeaf]

Man, I woke up with pain in the extensor muscles of my right forearm yesterday, it only got worse as the day went on, and it doesn't seem to be any better this morning I don't think doing the pups had anything to do with it, but I don't know whether I ought to do them today. See how it goes later in the day. I have no idea what I did to it.

[Grits]

Week 2, Day 3: 76!!

[Becky]

Week 2, Day 3, column 1:

5+5+4+4+11 = 29!

I'm actually looking forward to my pups test tomorrow. I've never been able to do this many before

[OakLeaf]

Week 2, day 3:

15+15+12+12+35 = 89


My forearm's better tonight after slathering it alternately with Traumeel and White Tiger Balm throughout the day. Not nearly 100%, but I went ahead and did my pups. Now a couple days off. I'm going to skip the Week 2 exhaustion test since I'm already over 25 pups in the last set.

Next week's the big jump, though

[aka_kim]

Week 2 Day 3 = 15+15+12+12+25=79

[jobob]

You slacker!

[aka_kim]

You slacker!

Ha! It shall be swords at dawn. If not swords, then maybe spatulas. But still at dawn.

[Grog]

Week 2, Day 3, Column 1:

5 / 5 / 4 / 4 / 14. I wanted to make it to 16 because I won't be able to test myself tomorrow but I couldn't. I figure that if I had not done the other push ups before I would have made it to 16 easily, and perhaps more.

So total achieved week 3 day 3: 33.

My parents will be living at my place for the next week so I have no idea if I'll be able to do the next sets. I'm too shy to do push ups in public and our place is fairly small!!!

[Kvixen23]

Day 1: 9,8,6,4,9 = 36

Day 2: 11,9,7,7,10 = 44

Day 3: 10,10,8,8,11 = 47

I'll have to test tomorrow b/c I got a day behind and it probably won't be that great since I just did day 3 today
