14 / 16 / 12 / 12 / max (I did 18) so 72 total

:eek: how will I ever do 100??! :D

What's the max we've had so far then of the forumites? :D

Keep going OHW - I'm looking for 40-45 on my max test on the next one; I was only 4 ahead of you at the start and you did more than me in the above session.

Wouldn't you sulk if you couldn't do one pushup?! A year ago I was spending 4 hours + a day Mon-Thurs and 1.5 on Fri in the gym, plus fri pm and weekend workouts when I was local. I used to work out before and after work. Pushups would not have been a problem. Ho hum! :(

I'm liking the youtube entertainment, thanks! :)

I'm going to start my quest for pushup capability on Monday after the Edale Skyline. :eek:

See your point! Glad you liked me link;) Starting your challenge after Edale would be a nice recovery.

:eek: 40-45?! Which week does that come in?! Well done TheHeathens.

Just done 21...

Bugger, I was hoping to fail miserably so I could repeat week 2 but guess there's no excuse not to go onto week 3 next week :D

Maybe, but not at the end of this week. Very very tough session (see below). Reckon I could probably push the 100 at the end of this week, but want to do it in style, and so want to finish week 6 properly. This'll probably mean repeating it next week.:rolleyes:
