I have to do another test this weekend.... I need 31 to continue to Week 5.

Week 4 Day 3=

Set 1-16 (felt those last few)
Set 2-18 (pushed though and my heart is pounding!)
Set 3-13 (felt them but did good form)
Set 4-13 (heart pounding, found them harder to do)
Set 5-Max (min of 20) I did---21 (was shaking and huffing air!)
Total for today: 81

22-30-20-20- & max of 28 I did 30... so hard!

total: 122!

Yeah week 3 was hard! I felt week 4 was overall easier (not sure why just did). Troy just did his post 4 weeks test and he got 74 (up from 51-he started on week three a little after we started)

I didn't make the cut to week 5.

I did 26 pushups for my test---Which is an improvement, but I needed 31 to move on.
So I will be repeating week 4 (but this time in column 2-so it will be harder for me, last time I was on column 1 only)

Aw you'll get there! It's totally worth it and you're getting so much stronger! It's gonna be awesome when we're done and retake our pics too!

I'm on week 4 this week so we're back on track together! YAY!

soImarriedAnerd · #67 November 10th, 2008, 09:37 AM

Yeah for us being on the same week!

What column are you doing for week 4?
We may catch up with troy also--he got that high temp/headache/sore muscle illness i had last week--but he is a big baby when sick lol so he is not doing anything while sick. So he is waiting to start week 5.

I've been in column 3 for every week. I just did w4d1 column 3... and it was a BITS! omg! It was 21/25/21/21/min of 32. and I only did 32! my last two were pretty bad form as well! It was hardddd!

Push up Challenge (repeating wk 4 Day 1, this time column #2)
18/22/8...had to stop

My shoulder started popping-bad....dang this week is kicking butt and taking names! But my form was great for the ones I did. I will try again tonight LOL

HUGE mental block this week.

After I couldn't even finish the day 1 I just got in my head "why bother". I got a strong massage today and I had a HUGE knot on the shoulder blade area---which may be why my shoulder was popping...it HURTS now-but I think I will be good to go tomorrow, I'll just be getting more massages!!!
So I'm off to read some a Lauren's blog--and get myself re-motivated!

Ok I have been slacking. I missed so much time I don't know where to pick up again. So this weekend I am going to do a max test and see where that puts me and go from there! Shannon how are you doing?????????
