About LinkBacksWeek 2, Session 3: 16/17/14/14/25 - Still on track.
Longer resting time between sets really make a huge difference for me. I was considering the 200 sit-up challenge on the off days (which scares me more!), but decided to go for running instead.

Week 3, Session 1: 14/18/14/14/20
Next session is going to be brutal. An additional 20!
I just got to the end of week 3, it's brutal. I can get through the first 3 sets normally quite well, but need much more rest to get through the last 2.
Week 3 was tough so I can see myself repeating week 4 already. I'm actually finding 200 sit ups easier, although I have started on week 1 on that one.
Going to start tomorrow (Mon-Weds-Fri session), managed to eek out 18 for the trial so we'll see how this goes. Thought I might alternate days with either the squat or the sit-up one.
Completed Week 2. Will probably start to repeat each week from now on before moving on.
Week 3, Session 2: 20/25/15/15/25
Bit worried though, one of the reason I did not restart properly with push-ups after I stopped for a few years was due to a noise my elbow did during the exercise. Doesn't hurt but I wonder if it's serious.
Hey, at least your neck's not making noises
I'm just jealous really, there's no way my back would hold out, especially for the sit-up challenge

Week 3, Session 3: 22, 30, 20, 20, 28
Sort of cleared week 3 but needed longer break, so not sure if I should redo, change row, or carry on.
I'm repeating week 4, going to try the middle column, which should be more do-able.
Week 4: Session 1: 21/25/21/32: Was so tempted to skip today as I worked out hard at the gym yesterday (can barely lift my arm now). Not sure what's better, stick with column 3 and carry on with longer rest between sets, or go down to column 2 and stick with recommended time.
just finished week 1 myself...
starting in the 3rd column day 1 and 2 were okay, but day 3 pushed me to my limits at the minute.... i couldnt do the minimum on the last reps, ended up 3 short, my arms just wouldnt do it
week 2 i think i'll do middle column.
Right managed to push 25 [could probably do 30 but cba] in my initial try last week, gonna start week 1 today [Mon-Wed-Fri] sessions, see how it goes...

Try knuckle pushups, changes the angle/pressure points significantly.Originally Posted by Tumble
I can't do press-ups. My stupidly broken wrist won't support my weight on that angle
Obviously they're harder, but hey...why the hell not
Week 4: Session 2: 25/29/25/25/36: Decided to stick with the 3rd row while increasing rest periods for the time being. I might re-do the week at a later date if it gets worse (but I think I'll be able to succeed the challenge in time even with longer rest).
Just started this today for the hell of it. Did 44 on my test, but as usual I held my breath!?
It suggests starting on week 3. Will start tomorrow and see what happens.
^ Actually I used to do that. I try not to though, your muscle needs the O2.
Another week cleared.

My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?
