my wrists don’t bend far enough for me to do push ups on the palms of my hands – I always have to use my fists and then my knuckles ache.

suprised they use a picture of a kid to promote it – I’ve never seen one do a press up that looks right.

ok i am in

I use the iPhone app – I’ve been stuck on week 3 level 3 forever (I can complete day 3 on a good day only) but TBH I’m ok with this – doing the routine has done wonders for my upper body strength and I don’t want to get any bigger as I’m happy being a skinny git

I’m in.. I started this last year but hurt myself doing the initial test and lost interest.. 😳

Hmmm, I have been thinking about this so suppose I should get on and do it.

It will be my third time in about 6 months trying this… Wonder if I’ll manage to get beyond a fortnight, unlike previously.

There’s an Android app, which makes it easier to be bothered to do it

That programme is absolute horse****. Progression to 100 push-ups in six weeks, regardless of your starting ability. Right… 🙄

Tried it last year and for some bizarre reason I ended up in column three all the time, got to week five before a knackered shoulder put me on rest duties. Now using push up bars and doing slow and controlled push ups in repeated sets of 5, 6, 7 or whatever until tired, which seem to be having a greater effect.

Just got down on the office floor and bashed out 12, so I’m in column 3.

Dammit!

Oh right, then I am OUT…… 🙄

Just tried it now (not done a single press up since I left school I don’t think ?)

Managed 24 before my wrists gave up !

Pretty pleased with that really 😀 (39 years old, don’t go to gym etc)

Managed 16 but I was nicely warmed up after helping at the after school cross country club.

Maybe not, be interesting to see if any of us manage it eh!

I started it last year but after about 3 weeks it started to ramp up far too fast for me- totally stopped my progress, even after redoing weeks. So I got pissed off with it in the end, just became totally disspiriting. I enjoyed it while it was achievable though but the plan didn’t work for me.

are you really telling me you can’t do a 100 already?

jeebus

the 200 squat thing is quite funny as well

Just done 75 in 58 seconds, then faded (had two pints though). Left it a minute and did the remaining 25.

Will do 100 straight later, or tomorrow.

My hero….

yeah if your doing them that quickly your form is rubbish and your using momentum. i always struggle to do lots of reps of anything but i think its because my form is good. i could do 50 super clean pressups within a few weeks, how much further icould go im not sure. but flapping about like that dick isnt my style

Just done another 25 with that timing – normally do them slow (not quite that slow though) see my earlier post.

Bear in mind I’ve just done 100 fast though and 50 x 15kg curls, as well as 30 sit-ups with 15kg on my chest, so I’m a bit pooped.

Will try slow ones from the off tomorrow – won’t manage anywhere near 100 though.

Ok just downloaded the app it’s not bad actually, did 24 so it started me at week 3 which to much so I’ve started on wk 2 and can just about manage that.
Anyway I’m in

Doesn’t matter, you’re still my hero.
