Feeling the growl again
After watching Cross fit games this weekend, looks like it's perfectly acceptable to plop on your belly as long as you finish the number prescribed.
I'm sticking with the conservative, Gunny-approved version.
MTA: W5 C3 D2-3 make me nervous.

I got to start with more creative excuses then, not just I saw it on TV.

Oh alright. But, I'm switching to column 1 dammit.
W3-D1-C1 Max=16
Rule number one of a gunfight, bring a gun. Rule number two of a gunfight, bring friends with guns.
I've been ignoring this long enough. Haven't done any push-ups since the week of the half marathon. So, yes, it's been about 2.5 weeks.
Did a max test last night and got 45. I will be moving beyond Week 2 and will be starting with Week 3.
So I finally had my first fail with week 4- C3-D3
I'm just repeating week 4 this week.
W5 C3 D2, max=37=FAIL. Will go back to W5 C2 and do that, then give it another run.
Looks like everyone is progressing really well! Just think about where you were when you started if you get frustrated.
Something I've found that I need to do before the workouts is to stretch out a little.
I take a broomstick and hold it across my shoulders with my arms straight out and twist back from side to side. You can feel it stretching your pecs and shoulders.
Then I hold the broomstick with a wide grip, straight out in front of me (like you would hold a barbell bench pressing, only standing upright) and move it from side to side keeping it parallel with the floor.
Before I started doing this, I would feel the kind of tightness you feel before you tear something on some of my sets.
I was traveling part of the week, and needed to rest up a little for my triathlon this weekend, so I only did one day of week 6 last week. I'm planning on finishing it this week.
W5-C2-D3 done with a max of 51. On to C3.

Repeated W5 C3 D2 as I head out for Lunch
Knocked out Gunny approved 45 max for the final set.

Very nice. That workout really kicked my butt. I probably should have taken an extra day recovery in there but it was as good a time to fail and get in an extra columb before proceeding as any...
It probably didn't help when my two girls were both doing sets with me a la the earlier video posted...laughing and hard pushup workouts don't mix.

I think I've improved maybe 25%, which makes me happy, but I have the impression a lot of people may have done substantially better.
Last night I forgot to look up the workout, so I just made it up. That was okay too - that way I ensured I didn't "fail".
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

Started at 47 and moved to 70 in max so almost 50% improvement in five weeks. Still not 100 though.
W5-C3-D1 done with a max of 43. That was a tough workout. Arms are still feeling it. This week's max test will be interesting.

Nice...but you've got two more workouts to make it through W5 and you only got 3 more on that D1 max than I did before failing on the next.
I bet you make it through D2 at least, I am interested how D3 goes for you.
Oops, forgot about this yesterday and today. And racing twice again this weekend, so I'm gonna let it slide again.
