Phew...3x16 done. Found the last set hard. Thanks a lot for the push SC. There's no point in me going for 3x17 tomorrow. What I really need to to be doing some pushups every day for a week or two to build up some base strength. Think I'll go for 3x12. Will report back here.

Start where you like, May. People have been taking all sorts of different recoveries but all three sets must be done in the same session (not one in the morning, one at lunch and one after tea ;-)). I was taking 2mins recovery but wasn't sure if it was too short. Some took more, some less.

Dog, well done on the 3 x 16 . Great thay you have started again.
I did 3 x 21 today, really tough 3rd set.
May. I usually take about 1 min between set 1 & 2 & 2 mins between sets 2 & 3. This may need to go up to 3 minutes now I'm in the 20's, but I think 3 mins should be the max for me. If I can't do it with a 3 minute rest then I should lower the number of press-ups!

3 x 22 today. Few days off due to racing on Sunday, doesn't seem to have done me any harm.
Threads gone a bit quiet. Has everyone stopped?
