  • I did my Wall Push-ups last night. It makes me feel good for certain, but definitely sore.

    I started with week 3 of the challenge, because I could do about 20 or so wall push-ups.

    So my sets looked like this:
    25
    17
    17
    15
    and then the last one (as many as you can) I managed to do 30!

    I'm very happy about that.
  • I did my NROLW workout last night, which included 3 sets of pushups. So I skipped day 3 of the challenge. It's going to be interesting coordinating the challenge with the NROLW schedule.

    .
  • I can do 2 regular pushups. five minutes later, I can do 4 girlie pushups. So, I'm starting at the lowest level doing girlies until I can do regulars, then I'll re-think. Holy cows, that's hard. I definitely need this, thank-you, Fauxtini.

    Photochick, what is NROLW?

    Never run on lowly worms?
    New runners only love watermelon?
    Nightly row over lakes wetly?
    Nasty riddles or lovely words?

    New Rules of Lifting for Women

    I got about 1/2 way through the workouts earlier this year and then got tied up in traveling for business and let it slide. So I'm starting over.

    Awesome! I'm def gonna look into this when im finished this pushup thang!
  • 2nd day of Week 3 Complete! And my arms feel good. They aren't quite as sore as after the first day.
  • OMG! I'm dyin'! I couldn't do ANY girlie pushups at all. My upper body and core are so weak. I'm going to do counter pushups for a few weeks until I can do girlies. I did 3 sets of 8 counter ones.
  • I did 3 sets of ten girly ones today! im amazed! Mind you.. i should probabaly be going lower to the ground.. but each day is a bit better. I can't wait to officially start the challenge on monday
  • This sounds like a good challenge, I'm in. I think I'll give it a start on Monday.

    I was surprised by all the low numbers here and honestly thought I'd be able to knock you guys out of the park. Yeah right! I got 0 real push-ups and 5 with bent-knee. I even re-did the bent-knee: still 5. I guess all those times I've done push-ups in the past, I've taken breaks every few, or in the case of regular form, haven't been going down far enough. Anyways, my upper body strength has always been a weakness so I'm excited to improve.

  • Sorry I haven't checked in recently, meant to start last wed but work is killing me with stress and I basically dropped everything! I got bod pod tested (body fat) and found out I am 34.6 % body fat. So now that I have paid for 2 tests and had one of them done I am really!!!! wanting to improve my physique before I do the next one. It has to be done within a year or I lose it so here we go toward a stronger me!
