My ranking for my age (+40) was poor ( there was no rank for pathetic!) I did the test yesterday and started on day 1 today. I'm in column 1 (up to 5 push ups). Completed the 5 sets by modifying in 4 and 5. Boy I'm a weak in my core.

My next days are day 2 on Thursday and day 3 Saturday. I recommend doing the printout of the 6 week workout. I also signed up for the push ups logger. It was easy, you input your workout right away. I am signed up as Cie2008.

Share your workouts with the rest of us. I love hearing from anyone who loves a challenge.

Sorry I was expecting the report format of the push ups logger like the web site. Example:

Rank after test if you want to share. Mine was 1. I do column 1 .rachinma did 22 perfectly. It depends on age where she then ranks. At any rate she does column three of day 1 which is set 1 =10 push ups. By week 6 she will be definitely doing 100 pushups
Level: Week1 day 1
Date: January 13
Max # done 6 push ups
Comments: . Completed the 5 sets by modifying in sets 4 and 5.

So if its okay why don't we use the report format of the push up logger.

Cool! The friend with whom I go to the gym at lunch time was doing this. I never saw the link where she got the program. Thanks! I'll look at it later today and maybe give it a try.

Mel! This is one program that will ensure that you will be able to do your age in pushups as you celebrate your 100th many many moons from now.

I tried this program last summer. It really is fun. I got distracted so I never completed it. I do remember working to failure on these sets and kissing the floor quite a bit.

Wow, am I ever out of shape! You'd think that lugging a 20-something pound boy everywhere would give me at least a LITTLE upper body strength--NOPE! I could only do 6 MODIFIED pushups! Not even one good form pushup!

I'm ranked "pathetic!"

I've got a looooooonnnnnnggggggg way to go!

Its so good to be back, I am not sure why I stopped weights it is really quite fun but gosh I have alot of strength to regain.

Day done. The waiting between sets is annoying. I'm going to have to start wearing a watch with a second hand to the gym!
