Oh you get extra points for that :cool:

Week 1 complete.

Day 1. 10/12/7/7 - 26
Day 2. 10/12/7/7 -29
Day 3. 10/15/9/9 - 35.

Ive got a mate at uni doing it so we text each other our max to try and motivate each other to do as many as we can - it really works because today he got 32 and i was wrecked at only 20, but i kept on going to just beat him.:D

I was a tad tipsy on the old strongbow and that made it abit interesting - especially falling on my face when i couldnt get to 36.:rolleyes:

Cheers! Long way to go to 100 (don't think I'll do it in 6 weeks) but it seems to be coming along nicely. I really need to lose some weight as well, I'm now 3.5 stone heavier than I was when I was running competitively so that makes it harder.

Al, you're on the wrong schedule mate. I'm on that schedule and I could only do 20 in one go at the outset. Based on the fact you can do 35 in set 5, your maximum should be 40-45 I think.

You should probably be on Week 3 (3rd column) which would be:

14/18/14/14/max (20)

The schedule you're following is the one for people who could do a maximum of between 11 and 20 push ups at the initial test. You're obviously able to do reps far in excess of this.

Stick with it Derby - as you get into it you won't even feel the pain, it's just that your body isn't used to it.

Sure you're right 'eathens :) It's a matter of getting through the first lot of pain

Pain is temporary, quitting lasts forever:p
But you already know that;)

I ain't no quitter. I'll have another go, promise! :):)
