CyclePUPs Week 3

Anybody else's shirts getting tight yet?

Week 3 Day 3 = 22+30+20+20+28 = 120!!! Oh.my.goodness. My arms are now so sore/tired that I can barely lift a beer to my lips. Barely, but the heroic struggle is worth it.

I think I'll repeat week 3 next week. This week was really hard and I need to consolidate a bit before moving on.

I'm so embarrassed. I missed this week due more busy school stuff and now a nasty cold. I think I'm going to start this all over with week one on Monday (I should feel much better by then), I feel like I've let too much time to go by and really want to focus on form. But I don't want to mess up the chart so you can take me off. Can I still come by for coaching if I need it?

I'm going to have to do week 3, day 3 tomorrow (sunday) due to training/traveling this weekend. I'll post results asap!!

I'm just a bit behind .. my day 3 of week 3 will be tomorrow (Monday). Will post as soon as I squeak them out! Great job this week everyone! TOUGH WEEK!

Week 3 was a repeat of Week 2, only at a higher level.

48 for Day 3.

Yes, that was a BIG jump for everyone this week. For those of you that repeated weeks or dropped down a little, you still did SUBSTANTIALLY more pups than you did on day 3 last week. Everyone is doing a great job!

I did my day 3 today as I was camping over the weekend and was hindered by (1) dirt, (2) alcohol, (3) too much food, or (4) a combination of the previous 3. I went back to the original plan for day 3. Not sure what I'm going to do for next week yet (repeat week 3 or attempt to move on). I do suspect, however, that there could be some sabotage at the end of week 4 and into week 5 as I'm going to visit the PUS and I'm sure she will (a) ride my legs off AND (b) make me drink too much of that Deschutes beer!

[SadieKate]

You mean the very absent PUS? I gotta get caught up. With all the travel last week and finishing up mini-storage, I'm totally discombobulated. Plus, my left wrist is acting up again for no known reason.

Yellow, have you been doing the spreadsheet? Where do I need to pick up? GD wrist . . . .

[Grog]

Wow. I'm grateful the plan was edited.

My parents were visiting all week and we did LOTS of things but few pushups. I did do some sort of an in-between-week-2-and-week-3 on Wednesday morning, and I got my husband to do the full week 3 day 1 set for me while I did about 25% less. My mom and dad did a few too, that was pretty cool.

So the bottom line is that I will be starting week 3 next week. I'll keep reporting my progress.

Great job everyone! I'm glad at least a few of us could manage!!

Week 3/Day 3 - 91. Wasn't pretty.

I've been doing these crossfit classes this week. Couldn't walk for 2 days after the first class. Then can't lift my arms for 2 days after the second. (whine, whine) My coach inserted some ##@!* push-ups into one of my regular gym work-outs. (a circuit no less, so 3 sets of them!) I've looked at a lot of floor this week.

[Aggie_Ama]

I did it but wow do I hurt. Day 3= 91. Trying to tell myself I can stay at level two for the next week.

[OakLeaf]

Those of you working with a coach or trainer, have you told them you're doing this program??? It's hard to understand why they would have you doing MORE pups (or too much of any chest/tricep/anterior delt work) on your "rest" days.

[Aggie_Ama]

I just looked at what is ahead for week 4, I started to cry. My shoulders are still tight from week 3 but we are half way there!!

Anyone have plans to keep pushups part of their fitness routine? I want to try to do 100 pushups 3x a week to help with upper body and core strength. I can't believe I just put that out there.
