exflyboy Dec 2010 10:33pm, 14 Dec 2010 33 posts	0 exflyboy 3 x 14 done, with a stretch or two in between. Gaps are becoming longer, and the last few of the third set were getting slower, but hey, I still managed it.

Then I remember Im behind. Oh God its difficult. I got my 3.13 done, weren't too bad. Im planning to get the set im behind done one day to catch up properly.
exflyboy Dec 2010 9:03pm, 15 Dec 2010 34 posts	0 exflyboy 3 x 15 done as part of the exercise and stretch regime I do. Managed 24 reps on last set so I hope I will go a few more days before cracking. Its a bit lonely on this thread this evening...am I the only one not out at a xmas party
lise Dec 2010 9:10pm, 15 Dec 2010 620 posts	0 lise 3 X 15 here too, seemed quite easy todayweird cause i struggled last few days. Funny to think last week 3x6 was a struggle!
exflyboy Dec 2010 9:13pm, 15 Dec 2010 35 posts	0 exflyboy lise I guess the arms can just recover from low teens numbers of reps and get stronger by the next day. But it cant go on for ever. That three of us at 15 so far.
lise Dec 2010 9:22pm, 15 Dec 2010 621 posts	0 lise shhh, it can go on forever and ever The thought of 3x100 is mad....might have to take a day off work to fit them in, it'll take ages Well done so far folks, keep it up.

About This Thread

Maintained by Dogtanian

Start on day 1 with 3 x 1 press up. On day 2 move to 3 x 2 and keep increasing by one every day. If you fail to do the target for the day then you try the same number the next day, only increasing when you have done the session properly. The Marathon talk challenge is to get to 3 x 100 push ups.

There are no real rules except all three sets must be done in the same session though. No going to wash your hair/walk the dog in-between sets:-).
