Spreadsheet updated - goes a long way to the right doesn't it!

So, what is the difference between a push up and a press up?

3 x 8 done this evening as part of a exercise and stretching regime done immediately after a 5 mile run. Still feels ok.

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:-).
