I knew it would be challenging, but I decided to add something between each set of pushups (between the 1 and the 2, and between the 2 and the 3, etc.): since pushups have you pushing the ground, I grabbed a bar (no plates) and pushed it up the same number of pushups I just did. That was so good! This workout really blasted my triceps.

It was awesome. I don't feel that I broke down on my form, and boy could I feel it in the pecks and tri's all weekend. I look forward to doing it again this week and each week to come. Great exercise, thanks Strick. So my workout partner and I did the entire pyramid last friday. It was awesome.

If you have a strong core, go for it. If not, the arms will get tired fast and you will not get very far in the pyramid. Its hard enough just dropping to your knees while your partner does his/her push ups. I would try resting while the partner does push ups. If you can complete the full pyramid, try holding the plank the next time around. Let me know how far you get. Holding the plank position would definitely add to working the abs and lower back more.
