Dogtanian Apr 2011 10:30pm, 9 Apr 2011 555 posts	0 Dogtanian I came to the conclusion that I really don't like press ups. I'll have another crack at it though and see if I can keep you company.
Liliaicha Apr 2011 9:48am, 10 Apr 2011 3,566 posts	0 Liliaicha I don't like them and have been slacking off again! They are just too hard!! Might try "girlie" ones to start with!!
JamieKai chameleon Apr 2011 11:02pm, 14 Apr 2011 1,935 posts	0 JamieKai chameleon throws hat in the ring I'm getting T-Rex arms, so I'm giving this a try - boosting it with 3x10 crunches (just because I think my stomach is getting a bit chunky...) I bloody hate press-ups though...
Johnny Blaze Apr 2011 11:06pm, 14 Apr 2011 10,956 posts	0 Johnny Blaze I'm up to 3 * 40. My triceps and tittage are like iron but its flipping hard.
JamieKai chameleon Apr 2011 11:15pm, 14 Apr 2011 1,937 posts	0 JamieKai chameleon At the moment it's ridiculously easy for me. Two days in and 3x2. Not looking forward to doing more than 10 in a row though (I'm such a wuss!) 3*40?
Zorba Apr 2011 7:33am, 21 Apr 2011 476 posts	0 Zorba Re entered the fray with a 3 x 40.....now trying to progress from there
Dogtanian Apr 2011 1:21pm, 21 Apr 2011 586 posts	0 Dogtanian Nice one Zorba. I did 3 x 5 the other day...not quite the same level but I thought I'd pull right back and start from an easy level. Will head off and do 3 x 6 before I forget!

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:-).
