That's looks like what I posted. But no, I'm not doing those unless they count double! Cheesy

I've having enough trouble with the regular version. A few more days til you hit 4000!

Yes. Exactly. Cross one bridge at a time, yet I am thinking that the Mike Tyson pushups might be easier than the clapping (at least for me), but if I did the Mike Tyson pushups I might have to at least count them as 1.5 or some kind of a multiple in case they don't quite count for a 2x.

Those are awesome numbers I'm not sure about your quantity over quality position,

They are full pushups and generally about 30 pushups in 40 seconds. or maybe something like that... I am not pausing between pushups, so yeah, I am not at that kind of a level.. so yeah, I am continuing to push for quantity over quality.. and I am likely going to be able to continue to measure my improvement in terms of pain, strength or how many I can do in a set.. and maybe if I get up to 75 or 100 in a set or I am able to do 1 or 2 clapping pushups, then maybe I might consider working in some focuses on quality or begin to do them slower. I am also considering my recovery time.. so yeah levels of soreness of various body parts and/or overall feelings of tiredness, and so if recovery times are improving then I would be able to measure progress with those kinds of things, too.

I am pretty sure that my form is getting better just by doing them. and I can tell if I try to push myself too much in a series my form might start to denigrate so if I get to 35 and then I do 36 and 37 and they really suck, then I will only count 35 and then NOT try to make it to 40.

but I think you are spot on about increasing your max. When I was doing sets of 10 all day long, it became more of a mental exercise than physical. Now I'm really pushing to make every set at least 20, and today I did a new record of 30.

Exactly.. the body is an amazing thing, but then at the same time, sometimes you might have to go back to a lower number just to allow your body to recover and maybe to make sure that you maintain some kind of decent form... I admit with my own form I probably would ONLY be able to do right around 50% if I were to pause at the top and the bottom like the David Goggins pushups.. maybe it would even be less than 50% if I tried to do them that way, and I am not going to do it. I don't want to despirit (demotivate) myself. And, even though I am showing you guys my numbers, I am competing against myself in the long run I am doing them how I want to do them, yet I am using this challenge as a kind of excuse and inspiration to actually stick with some variation of a plan that other bitcoiners are also carrying out...and we have all kinds of levels.. and I really bet that some of the guys who might start out by doing 5 sets of 5, and then 5 sets of 6 and keep working their way up, they are also going to get benefits, as long as they don't over do it and stick with it, and sometimes it might not feel worth it, especially if we had not been exercising, but as long as we don't injure ourselves, it is probably going to be good for us to engage in this kind of activity, even if it is modified and even if our quantity might not be as high as others. I know that there are guys here that could do 3 sets of 50 pushups in a matter of a couple of hours, or they are able to do clapping pushups or the Tyson pushups, yet I am at a level that I would be quite happy if I were able to do three sets and get to 100 pushups in a few hours, and when I started, I was not quite able to do 100 pushups in a whole day (without overly straining myself).. so I see progress, even though some sessions hurt more than other sessions... sometimes I get thrugh the first 10 and I want to quit because it hurts, but I have the strength to keep going, but in the first day when I first started doing the pushups, I did not know my limits, yet on reflection, I know I would not have been able to do nearly as many as I can do now.

I do think mixing up the numbers in set, in sort of a fartlek way, is a good idea also. So far today I've done 10, 20, and 30. Do you think you'll ever catch...{goes back a page and puts on glasses} Shocked

Over 4000! Wow!

Yeah, but you are narrowing your debt. At first you were doing less than 50 per day, so the amount of your pushups was less than your debt, and now at least if you stay between 51 and 100, then your debt is shrinking in terms of not growing as fast... and then if you are over 100 per day, then you are going to actually be eating into your pushup debt...

For me, I like to have the cushion, but it is causing me to want my average to keep going up every day, so that means that I have to do at least 1 more pushup than the current average, and so far it has not been a problem, but I have created an extra psychological barrier upon myself that surely is self-imposed, so I don't have to keep thinking in that kind of a way.

I have been able to participate in this challenge since 2 days ago after my previous post on this thread about to take part in the 100push up. I was able to improve my push up skill. I decided to take part and update the group that I have participated. I was able to do 40 in the evening instead of the actual 30 I said in my post earlier. in the second day being yesterday. I did 50 in the morning and 40 in the evening, today I hope to do 50 in the morning, 50 in the evening and maybe 20 at night . It's a very good health tips to practice. it was taught actually during the finishing number cound, like from 40..41..42.....43......44.......45.......46..........47 to 50 It was very heavy druing the end counts. It feels like I can't even complete the number in my head. The more I want to complete my number count the more I get tired.

Sometimes breathing really hard and heavy and even throwing in some grunts can help to improve motivations and energy to do them when they start to feel difficult to do.

Every since I started this challenge I have observed something I don't know if anyone else have also experienced this. I observed that my sexual performance has improved tremendously. Am hitting my partner differently now in the other room and she is smiling more these days. Before now I have been taking some sex pills to enhance performance. But after being consistent for two weeks, I noticed that I have been performing very well without taking any sex enhancement pills and I don't gasp for air the way I usually do in the past. I think my vendor has just lost a client in me as I am not sure I will patronize him anymore, all thanks to this challenge. Anytime my wife hit up am always active. And because of this I also noticed that my dick is now kicking up more than before. To be sincere this challenge has numerous benefits than just bitcoin getting to $100k, please take it very serious.

It is pretty well known that testosterone levels are improved by physical exercise and perhaps more from resistance training kinds of exercises rather than the more cardio exercises. So it is good if you experience personal results to confirm that... no reason to doubt you about that.. especially if you had really been doing your pushups and you had not been doing anything like that previously.

If 100 a day is too much, maybe try to start with whatever "K" the Bitcoin price is at and work your way up to 100 along with Bitcoin.

That's a very good point and those who have not done push ups in past few months won't be able to do 100 push ups straight away. Best is to start with what your body is comfortable with. I gave it a try after reading this post and was able to do 10 push ups. I will do 10 Push-Ups for next two days also and will increase number of Push-Ups after that.

10 March 2024 (Day 1) - 10 Push-Ups (Done)
11 March 2024 (Day 2) - 10 Push-Ups (Planned)
12 March 2024 (Day 3) - 10 Push-Ups (Planned)

I will come tomorrow and will update about the Push-Ups activity. Wish me luck.

That is pretty low. .you might want to consider doing three sets per day.., because one session per day is pretty whimpy. and you might not experience improvements from that low of a level and that scattered out of your sessions (which for you seems to be ONLY 1 session per day). .. Of course, in the end, you can dow whatever you like...; or whatever fits your lifestyle and/or abilities.
