HEY!

First post since over ten years, i think!

Just joined you and did 100 pushups! Agree that you have to break it up into something like 10's! I did 10+10+10+20+20+20+10! Felt great! Onwards to 100k!

Cheers!

That sounds like a lot for the first time, especially if you are not used to pushups. You might be feeling sore for a few days, but hopefully you are able to keep doing it, and maybe keep a journal so that "we" (at least those of us participating in this supposed "fun") might reach $100k with confidence and strength.

Yesterday I hit my 3,000 since starting the challenge and I did it with sets of 33/33/34. I started today off with a set of 34 but have fallen behind due to some unforeseen plumbing emergency work which is now behind me. We’ll see if I’ll be able to keep this up or not, but so far so good. If so, I think two sets of 50 by the halving is a possibility. Who knows, maybe I’ll be able to get a single set in of 100 the day we hit $100K.

Stay with it!

I probably could not have done 30 or 40 in a row when we started, yet I am regularly doing between 25 and 35 - and once in a while 40, so my 40s are still feeling a lot of pain, and yeah it will be interesting if I am going to be able to get more than 40 in a set, which most likely will be stages of 45 and 50 and 55 etc etc.. I am not sure if I am going to be able to add more than 5 at a time, absent some kind of sudden spurt in strength and endurance... one more set for today, and that will be 28 days... oh my... still hurting.

It would be cool if some member were to put together a chart to keep track of everyone willing to report our number of pushups or whatever other activities we might want to use as a substitute and maybe update the chart weekly or in whatever frequency is convenient. That might cause some peer pressures... hahahahaha.. even though I am doubting if there would be a category for qualty of pushups rather than self-reports of quantity. #justsaying.
