CyclePUPs Week 2

[SadieKate]

Yep, adjust as needed. Repeat weeks, change groups, change type of push-ups, whatever. At the end of the 6 weeks, we'll decide if we want to start another 6 week spreadsheet and try again.

I could probably get through 100 wall pushups right now, but I want to strive for more full body core work so I'm in Group 1 and won't make 100. But I'll fer darn sure see a lot of improvement in 6 weeks no matter what.

oooh - this looks fun. can others join? I am getting married in 6 weeks so this would be a lofty goal.

This thread is for 9/1 starters so you need to go here and jump on with this week's starters.

I'm sorta planning on trying to complete this at L1, take a week easy, then repeat at a higher level.

I have been wondering about how to maintain after I complete, but I think that will help me continue to improve.

Chicks doing pups is so cool.

Is this where I go?

I'll hopefully find the time this week to do all 3 again!

TOTAL: 163
Your third day total would be 63, then. Good job! We're only summing the third day. And since you're in the 9/1 start group, if you want to be on that spreadsheet, post that total in the 9/1 thread so SK can add you in.

Here's my totals for last week... apparently I had NO idea where to post everything! Hopefully this is where I belong!?
Must get more sleep!

Nope, you already got it right in the other thread. This is is the week 2 thread but we can cheer you on from both places.

I guess too long of of a time has passed and I can't edit my first post, so jes, rest assured that we have your day 3 from last week in the master spreadsheet.

Week 2, now in Column 1, Day 1:
4 / 4 / 3 / 3 / 10

Technique is much better now.

Well, I was hoping to be able to report today that I'd done the most consecutive pups I'd ever done in my life.

It didn't happen. Too early in the morning I think, too cold (46° F when we woke up!), not enough warmup (it consisted of my CPR recertification... well that's some upper body work right?).

I can still hope for Friday. It'll be soon enough. I'm still doing more than I have since I was in college.

[NoNo]

Week 2, Day 3 results: 5-5-4-4-10. I was hoping the max would be more, but I fell in a heap to the floor. I have a middle ear infection, my right eye is swollen half-shut, I was up sick half the night, and slept on the couch. I'll take 10 pups.

And a medal! I wouldn't have wanted to do those pushups.

Last night I did the bare minimum for Week 2, Day 2, including the max of 10 at the end and oh my that was hard. I didn't think I would make it to 10.

I'm taking pity on you this time because you're obviously a sad, sad case. Normally, I only post Day 3 totals cuz I don't do math.

I have to give you credit for even trying these. Try a little rest now.

[NoNo]

A sad case, ideed. Thank you for your pity. In my infirmed state I'd completely forgotten that it was totals only. As for rest, I doubt my boss would take too kindly to me sleeping at my desk. Why do I feel guilty about taking time off when I'm actually sick?

[SadieKate]

Not total only, just make sure you provide the total also.

It's our stupid culture that makes us go to work when we should be home. One day of missed work is probably less lost productivity than several days of dragging yourself around -- not to mention spreading the germs to others. Do you have to be there?
