I always use those programs as guidelines rather than live and die rules.

I plan to start this program soon, with all of it’s rave reviews.

Me personally – I always change my workout after two weeks and always stay in progressive overload. This is helped me avoid plateaus.

It’s a bit of a cheat, but try this:

Pumping up your biceps (before hitting the push-ups) with some high rep sets of concentration curls (no back involvement – just biceps)

Also, stretch out your neck, traps and lats prior to the push-ups.

A little sneaky, but it should give you a few more reps

IM always in for mixing things up a bit—-you can do that for 6 weeks and then git back to plan?

I agree with Andrew – although to be fair when I got to Week 5 I didn’t even try it – but it sure looked tough! After a month or so off I just redid my exhaustion test at 36 so I’ll see where that starts me off again.

I think week 05 is the great leveler. Progression is relatively straightforward till then. Personally I think this should be at least a ten week program.
