exflyboy Dec 2010 7:32pm, 6 Dec 2010 24 posts	0 exflyboy Di d my 3 X 6 tonight. Pretty easy at the moment, but I have feeling life will get harder around the middle of the month. I will investigate the spreadie after I have watched the gadget show.

Bad Musical Santa Journey Dec 2010 9:52am, 7 Dec 2010 1,104 posts	0 Bad Musical Santa Journey I've been a bit slack so attempted to do some catchup late last night while listening to the Ashes. I couldn't have picked a better moment, I didn't know whether to press up or drink up

exflyboy Dec 2010 9:44pm, 7 Dec 2010 25 posts	0 exflyboy 3 x 7 tonight after I got back from a very cold run. Stuck to 2 mins rest between sets which was not really needed but will be by the time I get to 3 x12 I guess. So far so good.

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:-).
