Might have to postpone the start of Week 4. Was going to do it tomorrow, but have got some serious man-flu building, and can already feel my temperature rising and getting aches in all me joints.

May need to recap the last day of week 3 once I'm over it.

100 push ups should sort that out for you!

Hey, just come across this thread.

Both me and Mrs MH attempted this just before Christmas.

My initial test was 80, her's was 58.

After the 6 weeks I managed 95, she managed 100

I think the key to her success was that she completed all the
sessions to the letter whereas I tended to fall short on the numbers on the 'max out' set at the end of each session.

BTW, I was using the hardest level of training, by the end she was using the easiest level but making sure she completed it.

Hope this helps some of you.

I did my test on Wednesday.

14. Then being stubborn and determined I could do more, I tried again and did 16 the second time.

Hurts afterwards doesn't it, I can still feel it

I'll start week 1 tomorrow

Really struggled with the 5th set but I think that's because my mate's missus gave birth the other day and we were 'wetting the baby's head' until 4am this morning!
