I can't figure the pushup thing, could I borrow someone's brain for a sec.

[aleutsi]

I did 20 (knee/knuckle) pushups on my test.. I'm less than 40yrs old... so that puts me at a level 3, right?

Ok, I got that.

Then I go to do day 1 and I am just NOT understanding their directions at all.

Please help me?

Since you did more than 10 pushups, you are in the third column, and on the first day you will do 10 pushups, rest 60 seconds, 10 pushups, rest 60 seconds, 8 pushups, rest 60 seconds, 6 pushups, rest 60 seconds, and then for the final set you're supposed to do as many pushups as possible - at least 7.

Then a day of rest, and then the second day you follow down the 3rd column again, 12, 12, 10, 10, max (at least 10) - with 90 seconds of rest between each set.

etc!

I agree, it's a confusing way of writing it, and it threw me at first too.

So the level 3 on the day charts have nothing to do with the level 3 on the test? LOL That is what is throwing me... I keep thinking I have to start at level 3.. but that level 3 actually translates into column 3!

Thanks!

For some reason my brain inserted bra into your subject line and I was really trying to figure what is so hard about pushup bras that you need help with it???? (My brain is definitely *off* today. LOL!)

So I don't guess I'll be borrowing yours? :-P

LOL!! Nope--neither my brain (because it's useless today) nor my pushup bra (because I don't have one! LOL!).

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one, but you certainly have a better excuse! I hope you're feeling a whole lot better!
