Pushup Pyramids
started typing this on another thread but I've been meaning to get advice on what's happening with this.
I've done the entire 'workout #1' 5 times in 3 weeks time with the intervals listed below. it's been over a week since I did it because of a seminar this past weekend.
here's what happened in the pyramid to 12 pushups
1st - failed at 5th pushup going for 9
...3 days between
2nd - completed to 12 and back down, really strong, no failures
...2 days between
3rd - failed going for 10
...7 days between
4th - failed going for 11
...7 days between
5th - completed to 12 and back down but not so strong feeling.
upon failure I took the minute rest and then attempted to hit the number I failed at. in each instance where I failed on the way up, I failed coming back down until I hit the 6 rep set.
so, my thought is that if I fail at a set that should be my turnover point that day.
Q: Should I continue to go to 12 sets even if I fail at each set beyond a certain point?
Q2: Has anyone bought the tapes? I'm so impressed with this workout that I would like to at least support the guy for posting these things free but don't want to waste money if the tapes aren't so good.
"George never did wake up. And, even all that talking didn't make death any easier...at least not for us. Maybe, in the end, all you can really hope for is that your last thought is a nice one...even if it's just about the taste of a nice cold beer."

"Is enlightenment even possible? Or, did I drive by it like a missed exit?"
It's simpler than you think.
I could be completely wrong"
