Ow. I did end up self limiting my max at the end of the easy column I did. I still hurt bad.

Glad there is a rest day here.
+1, I decided yesterday that I will NOT be starting weight training on triceps/pecs while this pushup thing is ongoing. I will consider the pushup challenge to be my "base-building" period before starting to seriously lift. It is clear that with three pushup workouts/week, maxing at the end of each one, if I add lifting on top of that I will incur too much fatigue.
Building general endurance in the muscles prior to pushing for max strength is probably the smart way to do it anyways.
MTA: Still getting 50 at the end of the workout is damn impressive.
Went back to W4-C3-D1 today. Did the minimum, felt harder than the C2-D3 stuff from last week, even with lesser repeats each set. Maybe still not recovered enough from the max test (50) Sunday evening, need to space these out a bit farther apart. 4 workouts a week is a bit much.

I suck. I am about to start my day 3 push-ups. What a slacker.

W2-D2-C3 Max= 25
The difference between maxing out at 25 today and maxing out at 25 on Monday was that I was shaking violently...tried going longer than 25 but couldn't push back up on 26 so I don't think it counted Was supposed to be "at least" 17
This is getting harder.

Ok. Now its getting serious. W3-D3-C3 done. Max 40. Bring on the hurt.
Meh. I'm behind, I squeezed in a double yesterday and managed to "remove" the squirrel trying to set up shop in my dryer vent, but other than that it was pretty much birthday festivities all evening. Priorities scmriorities. I'll get back on track today.
Oh, and birthday girl specificially asked if you were coming to her party. Somehow I figured jumping around in a foam pit with a bunch of 5-yr-olds was not very high on your list of desired weekend activities so I got you out of it gracefully.
W2-D2-C3...Max of 25. Steady progress so far.
