3 x 8 done - shoulders fairly well knotted up at present - not sure if this is helping or hindering!

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!

I guess - i just started right at the start so to build up slowly - it'll get tougher as the days go on

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:-).
