PowerPups Week 2

[suzieqtwa]

I completed week 2 ,and I really don't see how I'm ever going to be able to do 100 at one time when 7 is a struggle ,but I will continue to give it my best shot. This week I did 69. wooo whoo

This was a bad week for me and I did zilch. I'm still in, though, and will do my best this coming week.

Ok...just finished week 2...

day 1 - 12/12/9/7/40 = 70
day 2 - 14/16/12/12/39 = 93
day 3 - 16/17/14/14/42 = 93

I don't think I even did that many in the Corps

Are we posting weekly totals or just day 3??

Great job, ladies!! Keep up the good work!!!

[NbyNW]

What a week - had to skip day 2. Too much work!

Day 3 total is 40.

Only day 3 goes into the chart, but post every day if you want, for motivation!

Week 2 (revised program) / Column 1 / Day 3 -- 5/7/5/5/30

Total = 52

Wow Hoosier, way to go! Moving up a column after the exhaustion test... or going to skip it since you're already over 25 in your last set?

I'm one of those obsessive/compulsive, follow-the-program-to-the-letter types of people -- I'll do the exhaustion test this evening just to prove I can.

Surprisingly, I did Day Three yesterday after completing the hilliest, quickest century (plus two miles) I've ever done. Wasn't sure I had it in me, but being somewhat accountable to everyone here who's also doing the program is a great motivator! You ladies who have real muscles rock!

Day 3 = 43 for me.

Just finished the exhaustion test -- 32 should move me to column three for Week 3, but this scrawny little body of mine doesn't have a muscle to speak of, and that looks totally undoable to me. Will attempt column two instead, but, truth be known, it too looks challenging. Will give it a shot, but may just fall back to column one where I'm comfortable.

I'm with ya on that one... I finished week 2 (two days late), and I just can't see myself doing 12 next week in one set

soooooooooooooooo... I might just do week 2 over again, boo hoo.... but I have got a LOT stronger and for that I am grateful... so I'll keep going even if I have to do week two over again

oops... I was so caught up in what I think I can't do next week that I forgot to report what I DID do this week, argggggggggggh!!

Week 2/Day 3 = 30

[suzieqtwa]

I have been reporting wrong. I added up the total for the whole week, not just for day 3.

[katluvr]

I am not in the "revised" or "modified" or "new" plan (I like to say "tougher" plan).

Day 3 total:12/13/10/10/15= 60

I did not do a "max out test" this weekend. I should of. So I am in a dilemma...so I do max out test today (Monday) and move my pups schedule to T, Th & Sat?? Or skip max out test, stay in column 2 and keep going.

I "think" I can to 21 to stay in column 2 and I KNOW I won't do enough to "advance" to column 3.

Advice? Anyone skipping Max out test and just going along in same column?

[OakLeaf]

Kat, the numbers you posted are for the revised plan

I skipped the max-out test. But it looks like you're closer to the borderline. I don't see any harm in trying week 3, column 2 and see how it goes.

If you can't pull off the minimum max sets, I think rather than move up a week and down a column, you'd be better off to move up to column 3 but stay on week 2. Just MHO. Progress without the big jump. If you went down to column 1, week 3, at the end of the week you'd still be doing fewer pups than you've already done.

[NbyNW]

I did the max-out test just now. 18, and it makes sense for me to stay in group 1, since I had to skip day 2 last week.

Looking like a Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday schedule for me this week.

Good luck all!
