Right, I'm clearly the only totally thick person here... cos I don't understand the instructions on the web site! It says in Initial Test that number you can do to failure gives you a rank. But then from Week 1 onwards the rank seems to have been abandoned and it's just the 3 columns. What was the initial test about? Please help me. Never mind the press ups, I can't even follow the instructions!

depending on your initial test, you follow one of the columns. So, if you do 20 in your initial test, Day 1 says you do sets of 10,10,8,6, then at least 7, with 60seconds rest between.

OK, so Mr Dance, the rank thing didn't matter. It's just the column thing. OK, bril thanks. 20 it was, so middle column for me. Fanks!

if 20 was your initial test you'd be on the right-hand column
