Whew. I am really feeling it particularly in the abdominal wall, more than the arm muscles.

I would definitely agree with this. I find that when I focus really hard on keeping good form, my tummy hurts more. Which is good! :)

I feel it the most in my abdominal wall too. I told Lars and he said, "You don't use your stomach muscles to do pushups!" I was like, "WHAT?! You do 5x15 and tell me what YOU think." Bah ;)

Normally I do mine in the mid-morning, but I was feeling kind of off today so I waited until I felt better.

This was NOT a good day. I really struggled. Managed 16, 14, 14, 12, (11). I really wanted to push myself to 15 on the last set, but it just wasn't happening. My form was collapsing by the third set, so by the last I was really struggling to do a well-formed pushup, and I was afraid I'd hurt myself if I went any farther so I stopped at 11.

This is also the first day that I really broke out in a sweat. It certainly wasn't easy before this, but I think each set was short enough that I didn't really have a chance to sweat much. Today, though, yeah, I'm sweating.

My stomach has been sore today and I wasn't sure if it was an upset stomach or residual pain from the first day of this week. I'm still not sure. I am definitely feeling it in the abs, though.

I've heard from a number of people that they really have trouble with the third week.
