steeplechaser Jan 2011 9:01am, 13 Jan 2011 10 posts	0 steeplechaser 3x15 this morning. First set easy. Second set hard from 11 upwards. Third set very hard. Think I need to consolidate on 15 for a few days. Club run with Alchester tonight, so tomorrow should be a good test.

Paul Snell Jan 2011 3:11pm, 13 Jan 2011 950 posts	0 Paul Snell I think it might be the strain of getting back up again - one foot comes off the floor, the other knee has to bear all the load. I am actually made of (vegan) butter!

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:-).
