Unfortunately, no.

But I was being serious about my shoulder. I have torn cartilage (labral tear) that gets aggravated when I exert it too much. I'll give Wednesday's set a go at the current difficulty (>25 set) and if my shoulder feels like it's being strained too much, I'll bump it down to the middle set.

Be careful you don't twist your biceps around your triceps and wind up with a bilateral hyperextension of the spine of your scapula! Those take ages to rehab bro! Pushups be dangerous yo!

Has she tried bone marrow transplants and skin grafts?

I'm going to have to back it off a week at least. I couldn't finish day 1 of week 3. I got the Android App. It's nice.

Huh I didn't think men had those parts to tear or that they were made from cartilage! Maybe no sex for awhile is a good idea then.

I didn't even get to intense. I got to the third set, did 2, and had nothing left.

And my brother had a torn labrum. You may not want to mess too much with that. He had to have surgery and the recovery process was pretty long.

Well! I'm doing the middle column on Week 3 and it is pretty tough!

I did the first four sets on my Perfect Pushup handles but had to do the last set (max to failure, at least 17 reps) without them. And I struggled to push out 18 good form reps on that one. This should be pretty good!

I usually do 3 sets to failure on the PPs so this isn't that far outside what I was already doing - I was up to 16-18 reps per set. I also got my ab wheel from Amazon yesterday so today was a whole new kind of morning stretch/workout for me! Good stuff.

Alright, so attempting week 1 day 1 kicked my ass. I might have to backtrack a bit (yeah, backtracking from the starting line) and jump into the routine later. I told you all my arms are wimpy. Blush
