Speedie Dec 2010 8:50am, 9 Dec 2010 810 posts	0 Speedie Just managed the 3 x 9 felt a bit tired but have just done two hardish sessions ( bike and run ) Keep it up folks
longboat Dec 2010 8:52am, 9 Dec 2010 1,247 posts	0 longboat 3 x 9 done - had to do it early as out for lunch and dinner today Felt OK though - spent a fair bit of time stretching last night which helped. Do need to remember to warm up my shoulders if I am going to do the sets outside of a training session. Not sure when I will fit tomorrow's set in!

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:-).
