That's where you're going wrong, ss. I'm not suprised you're struggling with the demanding push-up routine if you're tackling the pull-up routine as well. That's too hardcore and doomed to failure.

Felt pretty tired on that one, but was a little easier than last week.

Weren't so bad - better than Wk 5 Day 1. Can see how it's beginning to work towards the continuous 100 now - more sets, lower reps, less rest (though I had to take an extra 10 before the final set). Had to shout at the missus who was counting. I was hitting 40, and she was counting 30!!
Going to re start the challenge on week 3 over the weekend its not going so well at the moment i keep getting side tracked into other things. Just read Mike Tyson used to do circuits of 200 sit ups, 25-40 dips, 50 press ups, 25-40 dips then 50 shrugs with barbell. 10 circuits of that! Thats a challenge!

Although my maximum was lower than last week, last week's figures included 8 on the knees and this was 25 full press-ups. Definitely feel like I'm getting stronger though.
Had an unplanned break over the weekend, but don't think this'll be a bad thing. Back with whichever stage is next on all the challenges tomorrow.
