Oof. I overdid it a bit on that first day with 67. Grin

But I'm saving receipts.
~snip~

That does not seem to be a good way to think about it... to be in debt with push-ups?
Surely, different folks have different ways of thinking about these kinds of matters in order to motivate themselves... .so maybe that kind of a negative framework (push-up debt) works for you?

Oh yeah! I feel size like Uncle Sam, print those pushups! But honestly I enjoy thinking about it this way because one day soon I will begin to do just a little more than 100 pushups in a day, and start to pay down that debt! Grin

I've started just peppering 5 pushup sets throughout the day. And the nail biting has dropped to almost nothing after that first day of using pushups as a shock collar. Bitcoin, cures what ails ya!
Pushups Printed: 500
Proof of Pushups: 205
Net Pushups: -295

Well.. fair enough.. It ends up that we are doing something similar, but we just have a different way of accounting.

And, for you, at least, so far, you are not including any interest, otherwise you would really be fucked, yet at the same time, it seems that you need to get over 50% so that your proof of pushups is growing faster than your pushup debt, and for me, I am on 11 days, and I should be able to reach or exceed 1,100 pushups today, especially since my first set involved 35 pushups and I am currently at 1,015... ..

I am not sure how I feel about some of my higher sets of push-ups because it seems that I start to lose some of my form during the higher sets, yet I am tentatively thinking that I will probably work through some of that and perhaps reach some kind of a better balance.

Another thing is that I like the average pushups per day, so that I can either take a complete break some days or maybe even go through some days in which my pushup count is low, and surely, even like you, DirtyKeyboard, there is a bit of a likelihood that you are going to be able to both get over 50%, but also to get out of debt, unless you start to calculate some kind of a pushup interest on your debt, which I am not sure what a fair rate would be?

I frequently consider something like 6% annualized as a fair interest rate for a loan, but then as we learn more and more about the various ways that the dollar (and other fiat currencies) are debased, we come to realize that nominal rates and real rates are not always the same, but in this particular case, there seems to be a known daily quantity that is added.... we could come up with a formula in which you are somewhat punished for holding a pushup debt, yet still not to charge you exorbitantly, but charge you enough to cause you to realize that you likely need to at least get into a territory in which you are performing more pushups than your debt is rising. For me, with my average per day, I had not considered debt or interest.. but that way of considering the matter, might inspire me to bring my average higher than 100 per day.

Finally, even though since the beginning of this exercise, I have been feeling pretty much continuously sore, I have already noticed various changes in the definition of my body, and also increased power in other areas.. so there seems to be a bit of a contagion.. even though there are a few times that I am really hesitating to want to do the stupid-ass pushups.. and also some times in which I am just feeling extra tired.. so still there is a need for ongoing pacing... and allowances to just stay at it at a pace that is comfortable, but still at a pace that is enough that we are mostly making progress (we don't want to injure ourselves, either.. which I have a few seemingly extra pains in some joints, too)..

No way man, no interest, I'm my own bank. I will install a debt limit of 690 pushups, though, to maintain confidence in the public sector. Feeling rather bullish right now. New AYH here, 68 pushups today.

Feeling better in the shoulders that I did at the end of the first day, but my abs are really feeling it. "Body blow, body blow!" Current debt level 332.

I assume we are allowed to change pushup style between finger tip, fist, diamond, wide hands, wide feet, but may I request an official ruling on these please?

Most of the video was worth the watch, what a hunk, but skip to ~45 seconds in if you just want the pushups.
