Hi Sandra,
Thanks for the support! I was just estatic this morning when I did it. Told my husband, but he didn't seem that impressed. Just needed to share with someone who could appreciate it. I've been fighting those pushups since the workouts first came out.
Here's the link to the post where Cathe describes the 10 count negative pushup.

I appreciate it.
Great. I make it through the 1st 2 sets then my arms start quivering. But, I am getting better.
That is a tough tape(Chest and tri).
I will eventually do it.

WOW...that is absolutely amazing!! You went from 8 to 72 in a matter of a month??? I saw that your original post to Cathe was about a month ago!! That is some great progress...screw your hubby...we here in Catheland know how hard that is and we are VERY proud of you!!! I struggle with those drop sets horrible...it's on my agenda to do tomorrow and I'm already starting to dread it!!
As for Cathe's negative push ups suggestion...did you take her advice and do those 3 times a week?? If you were already doing a weighted workout that day did you just tack those 2 sets onto your already scheduled workout?? I may have to give those suckers a try...I'm not as good as I would like to be on toe push ups.
Again...big congrats and keep up the great work!!!

That's awesome! I know you feel about the lack of being impressed by DH. When I am excited about doing something that I couldn't previously do, and rave to DH, he barely stops and says, "that's good" absentmindedly.
I will definitely try the negative pushup advice. Thanks for the link!
I definitely hope to make it up to 8 pushups on the toes soon, then I will shoot for the 72!
Congrats!!!

Hi Deni,
The post where Cathe describes the 10 count pushups was not mine. I could do more than eight, but I always had to drop to my knees halfway thru the third set of twelve. Until this morning!
Yes, I did the 10 count pushups 3x a week and just added them on if I was already doing a weighted workout.

Way to go Linda!!!!!!
That's an accomplishment. You are motivating me! I did GS Chest yesterday and though I made it further than last time I still have a long way to go. I'll try adding the 10 counts and one of these days I'll do all 72 pushups, brag to my DH, and probably come here for some real congratulations.
