Well done on all the proper man-type press-ups going on. I missed mine yesterday but will do my 3 x 5 today. The MT rules are very slack Flyboy. The only rule is that all three sets have to be done within the same session so two mins recovery is fine. Personally I'm happy to get even slacker and say all three sets have to be done on the same day. I guess you can start where you like. I am very weak at the moment but even I found three sets of one press-up a bit silly. |

I might join in on this one...though my pushups are going to be girly ones as my upper body strength is completely non-existent, then again 3 x 1 should be all right doing the proper ones.

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:-).
