Just finished day 1 of week 3, man I feel AWESOME! Even though at the end I did 19 instead of the minimum of 20, but I still feel great, I didn't do any real exercise in two years, and my muscles feel just so alive, hopefully tomorrow at work it won't hurt too much.
i gotta restart this because i cant get past day 2 of week 2
sign me up
[QUOTE=Legolas;27604650]I was wondering maybe I should restart Week 1 because I had problems finishing it but at the same time I want to do Week 2. :ohdear:[/QUOTE]
That's what I'm doing.
I have been sick for the past few days, and have been unable to do my pushups. I will start over after I am unsick.
I feel like I'm sick aswell I hope I'm alright tomorrow so I can do my pushups otherwise I'll have to wait aswell.
I don't feel like i did anything the other day.
Seems like i am not even tired or sore, or even am different the next day.
I am now able to perform 35 pushups, 10 more than when I joined the thread :buddy:
i tried this once
did one day and then i unbookmarked 5 days later because i "forgot" to do them
finished week 2 day 1. was really struggling with it this morning but I just managed to do the last set.
Woo, repeated Day 2 and did 13 on the last set. :unsmith:
I am gonna jog for a bit now.
I can only do 10 push ups max, before my arms feel like they are going to implode, into a skin and bone mess.
I tried it last night, before going to bed and it was a success, so I managed to do more than 10 pushups :D
Just did the first day column 2 since I restarted my week. I did barely 6 pushups on the max-set, it was really tough. I wonder if I'm gonna be able to do day 2?
I can't even do more than 5 pushups. :smithicide:
My sets for today were 14,14,10,10 and my max which has to be at least 15 (I did 25.) seeing as on Friday it was 30 and I moved to a harder column this week, I'm doing good :D
I may have done better but my hand was hurting, I needed to piss, I had little room to do it in (in my messing computer room) and I had just ate 30 mins ago.
4th session today. Was dredding it but it was suprisingly easy. In the last rep it asked for 6+ and I did 10 in a row. Pretty good considering I struggled to do 3 this time last week!!
If you can manage through this, Garry, then so can I. Easily.
Just finished day 1 of week 2, I can defiantly feel the improvement, I can do about 5 or so without any effort at all now.

Did I mention doing 20 on the last row, my new record!

Did the same set, only managed the required 15 on the last set. I felt bad today.

I thought garry was some muscular man.
Remember to eat AFTER you exercise, guys.

What's wrong with eating before you exercise?
Just did Week 4, Day 1, 2nd column. Max at 34, increase of 2 from Saturday and an increase of 12 since the start.

It depends on the person, really.
Some people get sick if they eat before they work out. However, a lot of people (like myself) don't get such a reaction. I can tank down a full meal and then jump straight into strenuous activity without any problems.
It is important to hydrate yourself before and after working out, though. If you eat before you work out, it's good to have a healthy snack like a banana afterward to help replenish some energy.
Keep in mind that being hydrated and full of energy comes from the previous day. For example, water you drink today and food you eat today is what will keep you hydrated and full of energy for a workout tomorrow. Drinking water right before and during working out does a little bit to keep you hydrated, but your real source of hydration comes from the previous day. Same exact concept with food, which is why a lot of athletes load up on carbs the day before games/matches/whatever.
This might have been said in past, but just want to reconfirm when taking the exhaustion test after week 2. When am I suppose to take it after the third day? Skip a day and do max? Or count the max on the third day? Or skip a day and do it? Thanks.
Week 2 so far is a far more bigger bitch than Week 1.
I got through that bitch though.

Thank you, I was about to ask about this because I always feel so dry, I guess I'll start drinking more water.
Day 3 looks goddamn horrible, not looking forward to it.
Week 3, Day 2, looks hard as fuck and I'm still sore from day 1, wish me luck.
Edit: By the way, is it OK if I go for some running like 2 hours after the work out? It won't be too exhausting, just an hour of running with friends in a slow pace.
I give up on this, I'm just gonna do morning and night pushups with 3 to 4 sets of 6 to 8 "ivo-explosive" pushups.
Core-abdominals all day erryday.
