shortstuff Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I've got some One Arm Pushups to work on, but like I said, I'll be cheering. You say it will be fun now, but when you start doing a huge amount it gets painful What could be next, Millennium Push?!Millennium push?

OfficeGuy Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Started on Saturday. I stopped during the last set due to wrist pain. Elbow was a bit sore too. Not used to the volume I guess. Anyway, I was still able to rock some pullups after and the wrist felt fine later on that day. I'll just have to tread carefully I think, maybe try a little longer rest between sets. (I tried to keep it not much more than 60 sec). Back at it tonight! (In addition to pull up work to balance things out). Link to comment

Tocho Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I will be doing this as well, although I will have limited to no access to the internet for a week (or two?) so I will not be joining the spreadsheet. Best of luck to all of you though.My initial test was 14 pushups. I'm hoping to increase at least 500%, meaning 70 pushups by the end of week 6.

Nuala Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Sorry, I was visiting my parent's this week-end and could not give news on the forum but I did my push-ups! Actually I had to do my first set several times. My parent's dog has no concept of what a pushup is and for him it's jus "OMG OMG she's on the floor! Let's jump on her back!" When I told him to lay down, well, he did, he is quite obedient after all! Quite. Technically he obeyed me. He was laying down on the floor all the time... just crawling to reach me while I was trying to do my set! Can you do some push-ups and laugh? Well I can't. Still managed to did them when he was not around. I feel like it will be really difficult. Even more than the 10vs1 challenge. Then again, it wouldn't be a challenge if it was too easy right?

I can't workout around my dog unless I'm taking her for a run or walk. When I'm doing jumping jacks or skipping she's all like shortstuff is jumping gotta bite her feet, when I'm on the floor she's all gotta lick shortstuff's face so she will pat me, or lets make X as hard as I can for shortstuff, the rest of the time she barks at me to pat her untill I pat her or she gets sick of it STR – 24.45, DEX – 13.50, STA – 23.50, CON – 21.40, WIS – 27.65, CHA – 4.50When the sun comes up, you better start running - Thomas FriedmenEpic Quest - Current Challenge - Twitter - Goodreads - Fitbit - blog Link to comment

Photobrandon Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 I'll join this time!Also, regarding dogs, it took quite a few weeks to train my dogs not to try to lick my face when I'm on the floor. And I still have to chase them to the couch occasionally between sets when deadlifting or doing OHP as they like to be underfoot while I'm lifting, since they start to get jealous of the weights. Or anything else that isn't them that has my attention, really. Link to comment
Ghost Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 I'm getting a dog dumped on me for the weekend, so I feel your pain.Only this dog thinks "Oh, you're moving? Well that must mean we can go play fetch". *Activates Dog Hypnosis* Link to comment
Nuala Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Brandon, Brandon! He's on the track to get some DOMS! *\o/* *cheers*And my parent's dog is an Australian shepherd, like this one/ Truth to be said, ours has a most dumb look on his face They also have a black border collie, but she is quite a old lady so she is very well behaved.

shortstuff Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 I like to think of my dog as my personal trainer - you say walk/swim I make you wish you never said the word until you take me for one (she barks LOADLY and jumps around and its hard to calm her down until you take her for one), one more sit up/deep lunge for one more "kiss" (she licks), your not running fast enough (she bites feet), that's not good enough/you can do it/you can do one more (she barks) that push up looks too easy (jumps on back) STR – 24.45, DEX – 13.50, STA – 23.50, CON – 21.40, WIS – 27.65, CHA – 4.50When the sun comes up, you better start running - Thomas FriedmenEpic Quest - Current Challenge - Twitter - Goodreads - Fitbit - blog Link to comment
Centurion Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 I feel like it will be really difficult. Even more than the 10vs1 challenge. Then again, it wouldn't be a challenge if it was too easy right?I think this is definitely tougher than the 10v1. Only advice I can give is to take as much time as you need between sets. I've been managing fine with a minute between sets so far but I don't think I'd have finished the final set if I hadn't taken an extra 30 seconds rest.I'm also slightly tenative about this program. I couldn't find anything on the site giving any information about how they've designed it or even testimonials of people that have used it. I'm sure there's some logic behind it but without knowing it it kinda feels like something someone has just chucked together as an easy marketing thing. Also, the way its going at the moment it feels to me as if, for me, going from 45 to 100 in 3 weeks could be a big ask. I don't want to be Mr. Pessimist and demoralise you guys but I wouldn't be surprised if you get to the end of the 6 weeks and have to add more on because you haven't hit 100 yet (now go and prove me wrong) Link to comment
Ghost Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Also, eat well enough to supply your muscles with everything they need, and then get plenty of sleep. Link to comment
Nuala Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 I also wonder about the science behind the website. That's why I will give myself a few more session and then tweak the progression to my taste like we did for the 10vs1. I know that if I want to reach 100 push-ups in 6 weeks with 3 sessions a week, I have to add 4 push-ups to my max set at every sessions. And it's a lot ^^'Illogically, I think I will add some sets to the 5 pre-written sets. My arms needs some more warm up before aiming for high rep. I'll try to add 3 sets of 5 today and see what will happens. Then, I'll need to find a good progression rhythm, I'm not sure I will reach 100, I'm pretty sure I won't actually. But I'm sure that I will fight until the end at least!

Nuala Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Done for today! I was supposed to do 14 reps + 16 reps + 12 reps + 12 reps + 17+ reps but I finally did: 5 reps + 5 reps + 5 reps + 14 reps + 5 reps + 16 reps + 12 reps + 12 reps + 19 reps yeah, I know, I'm crazy to add set but it actually helped a lot. Usually I find the first set painful to do, with the low rep set before, it felt way more easier to do. Warming-up push-ups before the push-ups seems like a good idea to me! And my arms are all stiff again.
