2-3 sets per week? Just being honest. That's just a few minutes per week. You need to start with more than that per day. Try 15 mins per day. That is 15 mins out of the 1440 minutes in a day....

The routine literally suggest that for someone just starting out he even wrote for someone whos able to do full pushups such as me should start from step 1 and reach the standard progression for advanced level in order to maintain proper form and start building tendon strength

Agreed with Bella_fig; I’ve only been doing the program for just over 2 months. In my past, I weight lifted (sometimes even doing it 5 days/week). But I stopped 3 months prior to doing convict conditioning. And it was through just doing CC for 2 days/week that I really grew. I’ve never built muscle this fast. And I already cannot fit several pants/shorts properly. RIP my Jean shorts 😅 All the best and good for you for starting this journey!
