Week three is starting for most of us, and so far most of us are going strong! Keep at it! Even if you miss a day or get a little off schedule, just get back in the groove as soon as you can.
Steve Belt said

My end of week 2 test yielded the same result as the pre-test. I felt very "weak" Sunday morning. The huge jump up to start week 3 in reps seems awfully difficult right now.
Steve Belt said
at 12:28 pm on Aug 4, 2008
Oh, and I follow the time schedule pretty close. Haven't needed extra time yet, although this week, that may change.
Steve Belt said
at 11:08 pm on Aug 4, 2008
Today was brutal. I couldn't complete set 3, then took a 20 minute break before trying set 4. Did that fine, but 60 seconds later fell short again on set 5. The jump up between week 2 and 3 seems extreme.

Late in joining, but here thanks to drinking with @soul4real ;-) Cutting it into 4 weeks? Just stay with it! Blogged http://cogdogblog.com/2008/08/04/wikis-and-pushups/
Emily Birukow said
at 10:19 am on Aug 5, 2008
This is really tough! I can do a few *real* good form push-ups now though, as opposed to the start where I could barely do one. I can feel my arms getting more muscley :-)
Richard Diaz said
at 1:49 pm on Aug 5, 2008
Hoochy-Mama!! That WAS a big jump in intensity for week 3!! I did better on set 5 than I did on the test 2 days prior--crazy. Oh well I am sticking with this thing and I hope you ALL do the same. Mr. Axman you are kicking A__!!
Eric said
at 6:23 pm on Aug 5, 2008
Yup. This is officially hard. I'm making all my reps but they're tough and I'm resting 120 sec on all days now. Nice to see everyone sticking with it!
glecko said
at 7:06 am on Aug 6, 2008
Agreed with the sentiment that the jump from week 2-3 was pretty drastic ... my test put me in the far right column and I could complete the first set, but after that it was a struggle. I'll likely repeat week 3. Just wondering if it's more important to keep the timing and attempt the sets closer together, or is it more important to actually complete the full sets. Hmm ...
axrun262 said
at 10:12 am on Aug 6, 2008
Thanks Rich! This is by no means easy. It sure is fun to see those numbers ruse every time. It is pretty strange with that week 2 test. I could only do 2 more than the previous day's set 5. Crazy indeed.
Aaron Kavlie said
at 11:43 am on Aug 6, 2008
I went from top tier weeks 1-2 to middle tier on week 3, and it was still too big of a jump to handle for me. I couldn't even complete the 4th set (3 short). In the first two weeks, I usually fell under the declared minimum for the last set. But I didn't have problems completing set 4.
Bill Nega said
at 2:57 pm on Aug 6, 2008
I was scared to start week 4 after seeing the 2-3 jump, but it's barely more than week 3. Light at the end, folks! Halfway there!
Roger said
at 3:39 pm on Aug 6, 2008
if you cannot finish a set its okay. keep going. at the start of week 4 you will test again, same with week 5. if you cannot make the cut for week 5 then you should go back to week 4 and keep building strength till you can move on. ideally you should do this in 6 weeks but it may take longer.
Roger said
at 7:44 am on Aug 7, 2008
yikes, that was really tough. big jump for sure. that last set was really nasty.
Cheryl Colan said
at 1:48 pm on Aug 7, 2008
Holy OW! The jump to week 3 is a killer. I tested into column two like Aaron did. Total struggle to finish the 5th set on day 1. Doesn't help that I'm trying to make up time to stay on track with the weeks. But that's the point, isn't it? - challenge. Consider me challenged!
Jeff Moriarty said
at 8:06 am on Aug 8, 2008
My guess is the Week 3 jump in difficulty is where we really shock and stress the chest to get it strengthening. Week 1 and 2 got us warmed up so we wouldn't rip our own arms off by the time we hit this week.
I'm finishing the last few reps of my final sets in an alt position, but I'm plowing through. Almost at the halfway point for the program!
Roger said
at 10:25 am on Aug 9, 2008
yo clintus! nice work man, looks like you are seeing the biggest benefits so far! well done.
i am slacking on this thing a bit finally getting around to day 2 of week 3 on saturday of week 3. feeling stronger for sure.
holy shit day 2 wk 3 just kicked my ass, feeling good but definitely pushing hard.

Urgh... I am in week 4, I just have to take my notes from my workout room to my computer and type them in. I'm a little behind (I'm blaming Ignite Phx) but not out of it yet. Will update my numbers this weekend.
Tim Giron said
at 8:26 am on Aug 15, 2008
@Chuck Reynolds: next time you get the urge to "clean up" the front page, please work that off some other way than actually touching the data on the page. You changed some values, so now I have to go verify the numbers I entered.
axrun262 said
at 9:22 am on Aug 15, 2008
I really surprised myself this morning. Getting closer. It is really cool to see how everyone is improving! Way to go!
Jeff Moriarty said
at 9:02 pm on Aug 16, 2008
Finally back around to updating. I just cannot make those max numbers unless I take a really long break beforehand. Just gassed by then.
For those people who haven't updated (or fallen behind) just get back into the game! I'm running a little behind as well, but no surrender!
Cheryl Colan said
at 10:21 pm on Aug 17, 2008
Just about forgot to finish this week. It's so hard to form new habits for me. Wanted to go to bed without finishing the week, but I'll be darned if I'm getting over the halfway point & then quitting. Power on! Like Jeff says, if you forget or fall behind, just get back into it. Keep going!
axrun262 said
at 7:13 am on Aug 18, 2008
After seeing the progress I made during week 4, I thought I'd be getting to 100 pretty soon, but I really wasn't expecting to hit it during the test for week 4. Wow, that was tough, but I did it! I can't wait to see the rest of you get it. Keep going!
Richard Diaz said
at 7:58 am on Aug 18, 2008
Great job Axman!! Hope to be rite with you in 2 weeks!! OOOO-Rah!!
Steve Belt said
at 5:48 pm on Aug 18, 2008
Last Monday I tried to start Week 4, and couldn't even come close. So Wednesday, I tried to do Day 1 of week 3 (which I could do on Day 1 of the real week 3), and came pretty close. So again, tonight I'm going to try to start week 3, and hopefully I can actually complete week 3 on the program, without additional rest.
Alan Levine said
at 8:08 am on Aug 19, 2008
Wow, way to go @axrun262! You're done! Week 5 another giant notch up... Good breathing helps, dont hold your breath!

Aaron Kavlie said
at 1:36 am on Aug 24, 2008
Just finished the 3rd try at week 3. I still only did days 1 & 2. I think I'll finally move on to week 4 next week.
I'm way behind schedule, but it looks like most everyone else is too. Oh well, I'm still making good progress so it's all good.
Cheryl Colan said
at 2:01 pm on Aug 25, 2008
Hey, it's not so obvious, but starting with day two of week 5 there are 8 sets, not 5. You repeat level 1, repeat level 2, repeat level 3 before doing your max. I didn't notice this. No wonder day 1 of week 6 is tearing my arms out. Hell.
Richard Diaz said
at 1:21 pm on Aug 26, 2008
Cheryl--good catch on the 8 sets. Week 6 jumps to 9! I'm gonna back up and do week 5 again. Keep on keeping on , girl!!
Cheryl Colan said
at 2:49 pm on Aug 27, 2008
Me too, Richard - I'm going back to week 5 to pick up the extra reps. I think week six would kill me without them.
chanelle richardson said
at 9:38 am on Aug 28, 2008
wow my husband and i have had a crazy few weeks and fallen right off the wagon.
my appendix flared up and put me down for the count, and then my husband (clint richardson) was in a car accident and is starting PT this week. i'm going to re-do week three next week, but not sure when the husband will be beck in the game.
Cheryl Colan said
at 2:14 pm on Sep 3, 2008
Having a tough time with week six. For day two I had to rest anywhere from 45 seconds to two minutes between sets. Heart rate a little too high for me + didn't want to trigger asthma attack. Had to stop for inhaler & rest 5 minutes before last set. But plowing through. I may have to do week six again to get to 100. We'll see!
Cheryl Colan said
at 10:33 pm on Sep 5, 2008
I know I won't make 100 when I test on Sunday. I'll probably start with week 5 after the test results. But I'm not quitting until I attain the goal.
Richard Diaz said
at 6:23 pm on Sep 7, 2008
Skipped my last routine and went for it while in the Gila Wilderness--it just felt right. 107!!! Cheryl--you are one of the few still going strong. Don't give up girl!! Everyone else that is still hanging in there--- Just Do IT baby!!
Cheryl Colan said
at 10:42 am on Sep 8, 2008
Rich, you did it! Congratulations!! *applause*
I'm not giving up. Testing later today.
Cheryl Colan said
at 8:12 pm on Sep 11, 2008
I waited awhile to do my 100 test. I could tell I wasn't going to get there, yet. So I gave myself a break. But I'm not giving up until I get to 100. Then I'll probably start again with full pushups instead of alt style. Anyone who gave up due to life happening, please join me in keeping on. I made a new table so we can start over or start again.
Jeff Moriarty said
at 1:14 pm on Sep 21, 2008
Work and travel forced me to put this on hold for a while - it was just too tough to keep up with unless I could make sure I was doing it regularly. But last week I got an email from the guy running the site who had some interesting updates.
First, he has tweaked the program to respond to feedback that some of the jumps were too tough (No kidding!). There is also a new logging tool for tracking progress on the site. I've posted his email on a page on the wiki if you want to check it out. Might be a great reason to get back on the program and keep the progress coming!
