Today I made the leap from Week 5 to Week 6...intensity. I am soooo determined to make it to 100 push-ups! The set was 45 55 35 30. I was veeery intimidated so I started in before I could think about it too much. I pumped out the 45 pretty easy. But the 55 was KILLER. My roommate (who is majoring in athletic training) was watching me and suggested assisted push-ups. So I pumped out the first 15 and then he put a belt around my torso and pulled up towards the end of the 35 and 30. On the 55 max I did the first 25 and then he assisted all the rest.
All that to say that jumping from week 5 to week 6 would have been physically impossible without assisted push-ups. This is THE hardest I have ever pushed myself, and it still wouldn't have been enough to keep up with the program. I'm a little skeptical about how plausible this work-out actually is, but I will keep going with the assisted push ups this week and then hopefully next week I'll do week 6 over again without assisted push-ups.
I was a little discouraged at first, but now I'm just determined! Good luck to everyone!
