Jingle Nells Dec 2010 10:45pm, 7 Dec 2010 14,506 posts	0 Jingle Nells Just managed the 3 X 7. Certainly starting to get tougher.
Speedie Dec 2010 7:29am, 8 Dec 2010 803 posts	0 Speedie Nice one LB and Nells Just done my 3 x 8 currently having 10 -15 seconds recovery but I guess that will change during the next week! Keep going all.
Frosty the SnowMatt Dec 2010 7:32am, 8 Dec 2010 397 posts	0 Frosty the SnowMatt I got a bit slack the last few days so did the 3x6 and 3x7. Im using up to 30sec recoveries but I agree I can see them getting longer over the next few weeks. I'll do the 3x8 later tonight, after work and maybe after the gym, or at the gym. We'll see.
lise Dec 2010 7:57am, 8 Dec 2010 614 posts	0 lise 3x7 last night ,3x 13 of the 2 lots of situps and 3*12 lots of squats.....and a run at last I might actually get fit soon
Speedie Dec 2010 8:20am, 8 Dec 2010 806 posts	0 Speedie Nice one Lise I did 5 x 10 reps of barbell squats on Monday - legs felt it yesterday. Hopefully the push ups and added core and weights through the winter will help improve performance.
lise Dec 2010 10:33am, 8 Dec 2010 615 posts	0 lise Cheers Speedie , good going with the barbell squats , i find it hard enough with normal ones just now! Come spring we'll all be flying

Dogtanian Dec 2010 12:51pm, 8 Dec 2010 336 posts	0 Dogtanian Welcome Richard and Longboat. There is a link to a spreadsheet for tracking progress in the header of the blog. Just done my 3x8. I think something nasty is going to happen when I reach 3x10.

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:-).
