CyclePUPs Week 4

[bluebug32]

Last week severely kicked my butt. I've been doing a lot of other upper body stuff, but I started the new week in group 1 instead of 2 and that's feeling better. This program really keeps things moving along!

Yep, I stepped down to column 2 today and that felt about right. My shoulders are (still) pretty sore.

I am afraid. Very afraid.

The PUO arrives tomorrow . . . .

I did mine last night, still hanging on for dear life in group two. The first 4 sets went okay, then I got to the max out. Oh my that was awful. I am doing the knee push-ups and it is not that much easier. Sure I can do more but my muscles are sore this morning anyway. I am on a W-F-Su schedule again this week, I was hoping Tu-Th-Sa but alas it is getting harder to get moving on these things!

Week 3, Day 3, Column 1 (I was a week 2 re-doer): 11+13+9+9+14=56! I'm a little scared; by the end of next week we're supposed to be able to do a minimum of 32 in order to move on to week 5 Then again, two weeks ago I was only able to do 14 for my max-out, and now I can do that after doing 42 pups. Progress is good

Bah! The PUO hit failure last night for day 2 of week 4 in column 3 (new version). I made everything except for the max. I could have done the *old* program, but made the decision on Monday to try to follow the *new* program.

So for Friday I'm not sure if I'll go back to week 3-day 3-column 3 or go to week 4-day 3-column 2. I'll compare and see what I feel like after SK rides my legs off. I'm inclined to go back to week 3 and then try week 4 again next week.

But, yah, I did more in each set yesterday than I managed for my initial test. So that's GOOD!

Week 4, Column 1, Day 3: I barely eeked out the minimum, 80 pups.

I'm, nervous for the test on Saturday. I don't think I'll be able to advance to week 5. I'm okay with that though, because I can do twice as many pups in one set than I could do 4 weeks ago. So what if it takes me a little longer to get to 100? I don't mind.

Hey, that's what it's all about. The PUO and I even got into a discussion of technique and I ended up doing a 6 set. If I wake up tomorrow and can't raise my arms, it's all her fault.

She even had me trying headstands again. Jiminy.

Oh that's just scary.
