I'm going to jump in and participate. I have always, always, always wanted to be able to do pushups...ever since I sucked at them in middle school. Just tested with counter pushups, and I can do 20. (More than I thought I'd be able to do!) I think I'll start the workouts tomorrow, because at the moment it seems I've already blown all my arms' energy on the test :D

I know I'm late - but I checked out the program last week and I'm IN! I did the test yesterday morning and I'm doing on my knee ones
I'm going to do mine M,W & F.

initial - 7
W1,D1: Max = 5 :) (28 total)

Owww my upper body hurts today. Feels good :D

Week 2, Day 1 done (all against the counter)
5 sets: 9, 8, 6, 4, 25 (52 total)

Can't wait for the exhaustion test at the end of this week. I'll try a real plank style push up again, maybe I'll be able to eke out just 1!

I am so grateful for this challenge! I always knew I should be doing pushups, but now I'm actually on the floor doing them!

Yeah, me too! I really wanna be able to do REAL push ups! When I watch my hubbie do them I'm very jealous!

I'll try do to W1-D1 with real ones today, and go all the way down.. If it doesn't work maybe next week :) I'll check in later to tell how it went..

So I totally flaked out and didn't complete week 1 last week. So, I started over yesterday.

D1, W1: 10, 10, 8, 6, 15 (regular, on the floor, up on your toes push-ups)

I can feel the soreness in my triceps and pects today!

Yesterday was the week 1 Day 3 for me. By the third set of ten plank pushups I can't imagine being able to do 100 of these dang things. I've learned something though. Don't chug the water from the water bottle in between sets of these exercises. While I was pressing from the plank position I could feel the water gurgling in my stomach and threating to defy gravity. Things could have gone real bad at that point but I still was determined to get my max in at the end. :lol:

I still can't go all the way down while doing this,, so I'll go one more week with "preparing" myself for week 1..

W1,D2 = Max 11 (39 total) :sunny: I'm on today apparently! :D Maybe after I complete the 100 on my knees I'll do plank ones for another 6 weeks! Imagine how BUFF my arms will be! :lol:

Week 2, Day 2 done (all against counter)
11, 9, 7, 7, 22 (56 total)

Did W1 D2 yesterday morning:

12+12+10+10+15=59 push ups!

W2D2 incline - 16-13-11-11-20 = 71 total

W1 D3 - max 18 = 49 total! I'm really suprised at myself!!! I'm gaining stregth quickly - and I *think* I may have seen some bicep definition while I was doing them! :cheer2:
