Exhaustion test: 65
Or was it 70?
I got to 55 then had to eke it out 5 at a time, which I was able to do 3 times. When I was done tho', I couldn't be sure if it was 55 or 50 I got to first off.
Have to call it 65 really, don't I? Still, good progress.
Great progress - keep it up!
Initial : 20 pushups
Week 1 Day 1: 10 / 12 / 7 / 7 / max (13) - 49 total
Week 1 Day 2: 12 / 12 / 8 / 8 / max (13) - 53 total
Week 1 Day 3: 11 / 15 / 9 / 9 / max (16) - 60 total
Week 2 Day 1: 14 / 14 / 10 /10 / max (15) - 63 total
Week 2 Day 2: 14 / 16 / 12 / 12 / max (17) - 71 total
Week 2 Day 3: 16 / 17 / 14 / 14 / max (20) - 81 total
Review Test : 30 pushups
Week 3 Day 1: 14 / 18 / 14 / 14 / max (20) - 80 total
Week 3 Day 2: 20 / 25 / 15 / 15 / max (30) - 105 total
Week 3 Day 3: 22 / 30 / 20 / 20 / max (28) - 120 total
After the first set, I was struggling to make the 30 and set 3 wasn't much better - 4th set was agony as was the 5th! Not Good!
I think that I should maybe have dropped onto the second column in week 3. I'm gonna do week 3 again anyway, so may drop onto that one for the second week, then move onto week 4

Good going Heathens.
Couple of things tho'. If you completed Wk 3 Day 3 with good form, I'd say no matter how hard it was, move on to Wk 4 in the same column: you did it!
If you really feel the need to repeat Wk 3, go for the same col. I bet you'll do it again, but easier!
Keep it up!
I did it with good form, but even from the second set I was getting to exhaustion and having to break it up into mini-sets.Originally Posted by southernsoftie

I'll give column 3 of week 3 another go - I'm just not ready for week 4 yet. I'd like to see me be able to do at least the first 4 sets without having to break them up.
Addaboy!

For these figures, I'm only using Initial and Exhaustion Tests.
Stat attack:
Assuming we're all going to make 100 press ups, this would mean a total of 1500 press ups.
Based on our initial tests, we'd done a total of 365, leaving us 1135 short.
Based on the updated Exhaustion Tests (a gain of 52) we're 4.5% of the way to plugging this gap.

There's some good progress going on here. Well done southernsoftie, TheHeathens and everyone else.
I started my programme today after just over a week's recovery from the initial test (50).
Week 3 column 3: 14, 18, 14, 14, max 35. It left me shaking.
I did think about doing Week 5 Day 1 Col 3 today, but looking at it, I needed another day. Not so much to recover from my Exhaustion Test yesterday, more for psychological preparation: 36/40/30/24/Max (40).There's some good progress going on here. Well done southernsoftie, TheHeathens and everyone else.
