CyclePUPs Week 4

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!

[NoNo]

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.

Week 4, Day 3: 160, barely

I have decided I am going to go for the numbers even if I have to take more breaks. Day 2 and Day 3 this week, I had to take a few extra seconds during the last "as many as you can, but at least...." set.

If I do say so myself, my arms are looking pretty good!

I must also admit to finding my whole body more toned this week. True of my arms and middle in particular, but perhaps it's the commuting (which includes hill sprints) but my thighs are lookin' good too.
