I wasn't calling you fat, FWIW
Now I feel fat.
Of course that could be because I've gained 10 pounds in the last 6 weeks.

Have finished Week 1 and Week 2. Moving on to week 3. Ouch. W2-D3-C3 Max= 28! Really wanted to get over 25 on the max today since I couldn't push back up on 26 Wednesday. Woot. Progress. Scared for week 3. I guess i'll do my test tomorrow so I can have a rest day before starting week 3. Is that how you guys are doing it?

Yes. Thanks for the reminder. I had forgotten that there was a test
Did it last night. Didn't do very well any way. Still in column 1.

on to week four but with a twist. I plan to start in Column 2 do that one and then do column 3 the next week before I try to move to week five. More push ups are better right?

What happened with your max test? I would have thought you were running WAY over what you needed for Column 3...

Max test was 60. I figured extra week of four would help.

I'm a week behind, but I'm going to go ahead and do week 1 again. Have some soreness that isn't going away, so I'm not going to push it.

Finished week 4, moving to 5.
Max test at end of week 4 was 85.
I did the week 4 day 3 workout, then did the max test, so the last set of the workout which says "max" (at least 40) wasn't really a max.. I did 40, then rested 5 min and did my max test.
Sounds like you should make this a 150 pushup challenge.
So Tony you just did 160, then rested 5 min, and then 85 just for kicks, sounds like we have our winner of this challenge.
I barely finished my W4 - C3- D3 (Max 40), couldn't think I could do it when we started this, now have to do a max test before moving on.
I did my max test for week 3 today instead of yesterday.
I did 30!
That's pretty good I guess since I started with 16 two weeks ago.

So you weakened yourself to keep yourself from doing 100 the first time out and making us all look bad?
Nice, very nice....
Week 3 done. On to Week 4.
W3D3C3 max was 37. A week from now, I need to do 40 at the end of a harder set to move onto Week 5. Given this and the distance I am from doing 100 consecutively, I'm betting there is a repeat of Week 4 or Week 5 in my future. I'm doing to work dang hard to make sure it is Week 5.
85 was tough. The weird thing was... my legs were shaking on the last few reps. You would think my arms would be, but they weren't.
It's not really clear on the program when to do the exhaustion test, so I figured instead of losing another day or two, I'd do it the same day. That may be how it is supposed to be done, but I'm not sure.

That's more than "pretty good". I started at 70, so I'd need to be doing around 140 now to be on the same track you're on.
