Speedie Dec 2010 6:11pm, 28 Dec 2010 858 posts	0 Speedie Welcome Tanglefoot Hamish and Glen well done. 3 x 28s just done, had to take out some aggression on a personal issue - did the trick as done full session in 4 mins 29 seconds but my right shoulder is feeling the strain. Hoping for a full body massage on Monday so I'll ensure the shoulder is worked on. Keep up the good work

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:-).
