Week 5 Day 1 Col 3
36/40/30/24/max 40 broken at various points, and on incline.
Very hard first day back, will continue this week on col. 2 then repeat again next week. Or continue on col. 3, tough as it is, then redo. I think that's less wimpy.:)
W5D2COL2 - 18/18/20/20/14/14/16/MAX 40
Col 2 felt better: only broken set was the final one...but got there. No incline on today's as I was indoors.
Did W5D1C3 again on Weds:
36/40/30/24/Max 40 again with a few breaks in the later sets.
Tonight did W5D2C2 - 18/18/20/20/14/14/16/Max 40 (20/6/3/3//4//4)
Tough. But need to get back in the routine.
I dont understand this terminology. I can do 76 without collapsing:D
Oooh, get him!;)Quote:

Find the program at hundredpushups.com
why 100 whats the point. I propose a 76 push up challenge so i dont have to put the effort in
Wish I'd thought of that back at 45!:rolleyes:Quote:

W5D2C3 - 19/19/22/23/18/18/22/Max 45
Getting back into the swing of things, though the last max set was a killer: had to break it up 25/5/5/5/5.
W5D3C3 - 20/20/24/24/20/20/22/Max 60 (20/10/10/5/5)
Seems it's just me now. Leaves me with a few 'self indulgent training diaries' ;) .[/QUOTE]
Cheeky! I've got a plan - lose 2 stone and come back and try again ;)Quote:

sort of :o
max now 30 :D
But I need to do more today :(
Max test - 75
7 behind where I was at this stage before my crash (my last session before that was this Max test where I scored 82). So not bad.
Will repeat the week 1 more time. Next max test should then be mid-high 80s, then one final push to the hundred.
Two weeks then?
Max test (end of week 4) this weekend :eek:
Ooh, good luck OHW! I'm still going easy following my tennis elbow. Last week's prediction now looks a bit presumptious, and probably jinxed me! :(Quote:

Max test again tonight :eek:
Tennis elbow seems to have gone. Been keeping my hand in with 3x20 press ups every other night for last few nights. Will take another Max Test this weekend and crack on. Target? To do the 100 before my holiday (16/07).Quote:

Will have to test myself and see what week I'd need to start from... hopefully not from scratch! :eek:
Cheers Starsky. You'll have to let us know how you get on. Fingers crossed!
How's is going now SS - I made it to week 5 :eek:
Cannot believe I have got this far, although it's taken a lot longer than 5 weeks :o slow and steady though !!
It's too hot now though :(
Max test this weekend. Reckon week 5 again. Well done you OHW, nearly there.:)
yes at this rate the last 2 weeks worth will be finished by June 2010 :D
I don't care though, I can do almost 3 times as many press ups than before :cool:
Let us know how max test goes SS :D
I've just noticed that
"200 squat challenge"
has appeared on the push up challenge website!
Sounds like a must for fell runners! :-)
SS, did you do it then, did you? did you?Quote:
