CyclePUPs Week 3

[yellow]

OK, here are the results from last week (week 2), without reports from jesvetmed, firenze11, limewave (might be injured??), and SadieKate. A red box means injured. Three names disappeared because there was no report for day 3 of week 1. Let me know if you are one of those three and just forgot to get me your numbers...



We're down a little bit from the first week due to extenuating circumstances. No worries...week 3 will be tough, but we can do this and beat week 1! Keep on PUPin'!

Hokey smokey, this week is starting out tough!

Hokey smokey, this week is starting out tough!

Yeah, I'm thinking that I'll be lucky just to make the minimum maximum. I'm gearing up for day one as I type...hydrating, Om-ing. I'm just a little worked at the moment from an intense work-related blood pressure spike (aka management screwed up and I had to fix it) and then I'm tired from the weekend. Ad nauseum. Sound like a bunch of excuses??

Edit: OK, I just did my set and oh.my.goodness! I am worked! Eked out 29 on the max set. Barely.

[NoNo]

Just curious: for those of us that are re-doing week 2, where should we post our results for day 3? Back in the week 2 thread?

I got busy at school and missed most of week 2 can I re-do along with the other re-doers? I'm still going to do this, I'm determined!

Also if I'm being a pain in the bum w/ my delinquent pups, I can do it alongside of you all. I don't want to anger the PUS!

[Aggie_Ama]

Okay, I am still in Group 2 and scared! I did 23 on my max out test though so I should be able to do this. No, I WILL BE ABLE TO DO THIS!

[Kvixen23]

Ouch!!! That was tough!! I'm on column one b/c I could only do 16 on my exhaustion test.....

Today was going well until my max set. It was supposed to be 15 but I face planted after 14.....I just couldn't do it. I'm doing straight back pups, no knees. I'm considering going to knees for maybe the last 2 sets.....I don't know though.

I'm off schedule this week so I'm doing Tues, Thurs, and Sat. I should be able to get back to M, W, F next week....

I'm re-doing week 2, but in column 2 this time. Week 3, column 1 was just too much of a jump.

Today: 9+8+6+4+9 = 36

I don't care if it takes me 12 weeks.....I'm gonna reach 100!

EDIT: BTW, thanks to OakLeaf for the most excellent idea to repeat at a higher level. It worked great last night!

For you and Becky, I'd just record whatever you do in the week 3 column on the spreadsheet. I don't think it matters all that much!

I suspect once we get to the end of the 6 weeks, we'll go for round 2. Who knows...this could go on, and on, and on...

[jesvetmed]

I'm here again! Sorry... out of town from Thur to Tuesday. I DID do my pushups, despite being at the Breast Cancer 3-Day 60 mile walk. I have to say, I took some FLACK for that! Hoots and hollars as I did pushups after the first 20 mile day, "Isn't 20 miles enough for you?!". I just smiled, waved and said, "NO! "

So, my day 3 was: 78. I didn't take the schedules with me, so I winged it: Did 15/15/12/10/26. I guess I should look and see how it compares to what I was supposed to do!

Everyone take another look at the plan! It has been edited.

Most notably for us this week, you're not doing so close to your max on day 1 of week 3. Seems to me that's a good idea especially with all the concerns everyone has expressed about the big jump between weeks 2 and 3. But there have been changes every week (I haven't looked at them all yet.)

Well shoot.....maybe I can do week 3 now that the 2 --> 3 jump has been lessened....

Overall, I'd say the new week 4 is tougher...going from a max of 29 on the 3rd day (old plan) to a max of 40 (new plan). I suspect I'll be dropping down in that week. Yikes.

I haven't looked beyond week 4. Do I want to?

[Flur]

So I didn't see the post about the change until after I tried to do day 2 of the plan and failed miserably. I had to step down to column 1 of the original plan and then couldn't even do that! So now I've taken a look at the new version and just added an extra set so that my total for the day came out to the minimum for column 2, day 2. I'll give column 2, day 3 a shot on Friday. If I can't get it I may have to drop down for week 4...
