week 3

You should be a little stronger than you were a couple of weeks ago and able to complete considerably more push ups than your initial test. If you managed 16-20 push ups in the latest test, follow column 1. If you completed between 21 & 25, column 2 is for you. More than 26 consecutive push ups? Excellent! You'll be following column 3.

If you're struggling with the program, don't lose heart. Some people will still be doing less than 16 consecutive push ups, but this is ok. Just repeat the week you struggled with until you're strong enough to move on to the next level - I promise it will be worth your while!
