Today’s workout looked like this:
|
DAY 2
REST 90 SECONDS BETWEEN EACH SET (LONGER IF REQUIRED) |
|||
|---|---|---|---|
| SET 1 | 3 | 6 | 10 |
| SET 2 | 4 | 8 | 12 |
| SET 3 | 2 | 6 | 8 |
| SET 4 | 3 | 6 | 8 |
| SET 5 | max (at least 4) | max (at least 7) | max (at least 12) |
This. Was. Rough.
I could barely eek out 12 on the last set.
Deveree – my hands are slightly wider than my shoulders. When I have them closer, they feel more like tricep pushups for me. Plus, Jillian on the 30 Day Shred showed the difference between a plank position and a push-up position (on the 2nd workout, I think?) and the push-up position was slightly wider. How’s it going for you?
Brooke – keep it up!!!! Are you following the plan?
Any other joiners?
(You don’t have to do the 100 push-up challenge, you know; whatever will challenge you: 10, 20, 50, 200! Just let me know!)

atI'm joining the push up challenge 🙂 I showed Travis and he wants to do it too. I guess he used to do 100 every day on his mission and wants to get it back so count both of us in on this one 🙂

at100 push ups? Seriously? Dang…good for you! More power to you girl! I'll have to see how many I can do to begin with, and then if I don't embarrass myself too badly, I just may join! 🙂

atThanks for the motivation. I got my boss doing clap push ups in the back today and my co-workers are counting each night how many they can do, haha. I did some last night but I came up with a plan. I know we are supposed to do a 100 real push ups but I figure if I get to a 100 knee push ups in a row I can then start over with real ones before 2011. I'll let you know how day one with just knee ones goes tomorrow. I am actually really excited!

atI'm planning on it…just keep pushing it off. Sounds cool though.
TeriLyn
atAwesome Jeana! Glad you're in! Just do your initial test tonight! One day at a time! 🙂
Michelle – you won't embarrass yourself!! It's just however many YOU want to make it to – it doesn't have to be 100. Heck, I'm not sure I'll make it to 100! 🙂 I'm adding you to the team!

atHere is how my Day 2 went, I rested 30-60 seconds between each set:
Set 1- 10
Set 2- 12
Set 3- 8
Set 4- 8
Set 5- 8 real push-ups, then my arms collapsed and I fell on my face (not joking), got up and did 4 "girl" push ups.
Set 6- 8
Set 7- 6
Ah! I had trouble with the fifth set again! But I was determined to max out at 12, hence the 6th and 7th sets. Maybe the third day I'll be able to do it exactly as the schedule shows it. I hope!

atDay 1 completed yesterday. It felt great. Teri you need to link some form tips, I think I have wrong form. Do my elbows go straight out or back towards my back or what when I bend?
TeriLyn
atDeveree – I can't believe you did 7 sets!!!! You are crazy!
Brooke – my arms go out to the side instead of straight back. Those a little bit different types of push-ups – out to the side is more of a chest pushup and to the back is more a tricep pushup. I'll do a form post soon!

atI found your blog on a friend’s blogroll. I am doing the push-up challenge now. Thanks!
Teri
