It is working

Subject Description

I have to admit I have not been consistent with this program, and it's been frustrating when I finally do motivate myself to do my pushups, because it's so hard!

But I got down last night and did them, after about a week off, and found that, for some reason, I am suddenly stronger and having a much easier time with them! I struggled to do a set of 8 pushups last week, but I did a set of 11 this week (when the min was 10)!

But just a side note that not everyone can finish the program in 6 weeks. There are a few places where you're instructed to retest and go back a week or two if you don't "pass." I had to go back and repeat weeks 1 and 2 (but moved from level 1 to level 2), and I'm sure when I get there I'll need to do weeks 5 and 6 more than once.

It does work This is actually the second time I'm attempting the 100 Push Ups in 6 Weeks. The first time, I got all the way to Week 6, then my schedule got all screwey and wasn't able to finish Week 6.  When I tried doing them, I found it to be extremely difficult, so my advice for everyone starting this is to stick with it and try not to miss even a single day of the program. At my peak, I was able to do 276 total (not consecutively, but spread out over about 5 sets).  Consecutively, I was able to do about 75 at my peak.  Compared to when I first started, I was only able to do 30. So, I'm going to start again, but I'm starting at the beginning.  Hopefully this time I'll be able to finish! Posted by littleman00 on Oct. 08, 2008 at 05:17PM
