Last time I got to Week 3 and failed ...this time I got through Week 3 and stuttered on Day 1 of Week 4. At the end of the third week you do a test - I managed to get a clean 40 (10 push ups more than I started with) but in hindsight, it took a lot out me !
The target sets consisted of 21,25,21,21 with a end set of at least 32. I was able to do the 20s but could not manage the last set. Decided the solution was simple, try and then have a rest day until I cracked the last set. Pleased to report that following stuttering four times I squeezed out a final set of 32 this evening. The graph below shows progress to date.
Rest day tomorrow then progression onto 25,29,25,25 and at least 36 (eeeeekkkkk !!!!)
Moved onto the next step ...managed the first four sets but only 30 on the last ! Looks like Another rest / repeat cycle is in order ;-)
ReplyDeletePleased to report that after an extra rest day ...I achieved the last set of 36.
ReplyDeleteNext step up is: 29,33,29,29,40
Looking back at how I managed the next step ...two rest days between work days seems to be key.
