Push ups as per GD day 15

Push ups as per GD day 15

Bar at pin 5

3 reps EMOM for 14 mins

Completed all reps

I did the 3 reps today and it was tougher than the 2's but not too easy so I've decided to stick to pin 5 and try for every other day so I speed things up but try not to skip too many steps - I hope I will benefit in the long run. Going to pin 4 and trying more frequently seemed like not the best idea. If I manage to do every other day and manage all the reps then I'll be going to pin 4 in 3 weeks time so that should be good and thats my goal.

A harder level and so back to 2 reps as per GD - but I’m not sure what kind of jump to harder level I should go for?

Pin 5 - which is 3 inch lower than pin 6.
EMOM 2 reps for 20 mins

Completed all reps with relative ease. So is this pin 5 too easy? Should I go to pin 4 (another 3 inch lower - all the pins in my rack are 3 inch apart).

I’m wondering about doing this push up program twice a week now as I’ve acclimatised to the volume to see if I can speed things up a bit.
Pin 6 doing it only once a week with other wods has taken me just over 13 weeks with no missed reps so at that pace I wont reach the floor for 91 weeks I know I can be impatient but that surely is a long time to do proper full push ups????
So even twice a week that’s 45 weeks!!!

May be pin 4, then pin 2, then 1 as I’m sure it will be getting tough by then and the smaller jumps will be more beneficial???
Or keep the 3 inch / 1 pin increments and do it more frequently ie 4 times a week regardless of other wods??
I could be over thinking it, I could be just being impatient or I’m just in the wood here??
Thoughts any one please???

Serious DOMS from Sunday - not had that much pain in a long time and not really sure why as 24 thrusters should not have caused the pain but much better today although not gone completely so see how we go.
