I'm still playing!
I started from week 1 (C1) doing full pups a few weeks ago (I did ball pups the first time through the program). I'm actually repeating days this time instead of weeks (so far), whether I need to or not, just to try to avoid some of the problems I had last time around.

I think this is a great programme. I just started week 4 (in the feeble 1st column) doing half push ups. But when I started I couldn't do anything more than wall push ups so I feel I've made great strides.
My aim is to finish the programme on half push ups then progress to full push ups. I really feel I've gained strength and fitness and it is a really easy programme to follow - with measurable progress - so it's kept me going.
I recommend it to the easily discouraged
The next day you really feel like you've had a good work out.Last edited by Bruno28; 12-05-2008 at 11:00 AM.

After my 'it's a breeze' boastfulness I have hit the wall that is day 1 week 5

Bump
OK, I just finished week 6 for the third or fourth time this week. Felt better this time around, I think mostly because I stuck to the schedule. It seems that if I miss just one day I pay for it later.
I'll probably just stay at week 6 through the end of the year and maybe try a test in the last days of 2008. It looks like I will be starting Crossfit in January, so I suspect I won't be in any condition to also do pushups.
Bruno, weeks 4-5-6 are tough, tough, tough. Keep at it!!!

Did this program really start at the beginning of September!?
I'm in week 3 now, doing my slow ramble through the program for the second time.
Yellow, I'm cheering you on for 100 pups straight through - if anyone can do it, you can!

Hadn't done any PUPs since before Thanksgiving and tried to pick up where I left off (Day 3 of Week 5, 3rd Column) . . . HAH!
Needless to say, I wasn't able to do the minimum max in the last set. So, last night I dropped back down to Day 2 of Week 4, Column 3, and was able to complete all the sets easily (25, 29, 25, 25, 36). I'm encouraged to move forward again and keep consistency this time. 
I certainly won't get to 100 before the end of the year, but I'm definitely stronger than when I started!
P.S. OakLeaf, I see where you suggested that I drop back a week . . . good advice!
