Yesterday was rough for me. I replaced the hot water heater for my house along with a car repair and a lot of landscaping work. I was pretty tired by the end of the day and after getting my push-ups in my arms were pretty sore. My first 25 this morning were rough, but I'm going to keep the streak alive no matter what as I know this Bitcoin rally depends on it. 
If I were a smart man I would probably take a day off and let my arms recover a little bit, but I don't think anyone in this community will accuse me of doing the smart thing anytime soon. 75 more to go today and we end the day at $75K! 
yea well for those of us who are stuck below 40 its looking very ominous as Bitcoin pushes If I were a smart man I would probably take a day off and let my arms recover a little bit, but I don't think anyone in this community will accuse me of doing the smart thing anytime soon. 75 more to go today and we end the day at $75K! past $70k, it could very well beat me to 100!
a friend was telling me today that when Bitcoin hits $75k there will be approximately 1 billion
worth of shorts could get liquidated, that will kill the challenge for me anyway....
The number of shorts that are outstanding at any one time remains a moving target, since they can pull their shorts at any time, and that is part of the motivation when the price moves very quickly - to catch several of the shorts prior to their ability to pull them.

There are days you will feel very tired to continue because of the activities we have engaged ourselves with. But realizing that bitcoin rally is depending on it you just have to make sure you do your part. To me it's just like a doctor who doesn't feel like going to work, but he has to as there are patients who are relying on his expert knowledge to get well, so he just have to get to work. This is exactly how I feel some days about this challenge but I have to be faithful to the challenge. If I were a smart man I would probably take a day off and let my arms recover a little bit, but I don't think anyone in this community will accuse me of doing the smart thing anytime soon. 75 more to go today and we end the day at $75K! Most days it hurts me too. Most of the time, I am not exactly wanting to do it.. but I know it is for my own good.. and it is also a kind of camaraderie thing. which surely is nice to know that several other guys are suffering in similar ways all around the world. and in connection to our contemplations and expectations of number go up.
Personally, I think $100k remains an intermediary goal, and surely many of us thought that it could be around the top of the last cycle, which we know ended up falling short - including some folks consider the lazer eyes to be related to number go up, and I don't wear my lazer eyes for that reason, but instead I wear my lazer eyes as a way of communicating the idea of not getting distracted and to keep your eyes on the prize.. which is bitcoin..
I am starting to think that another intermediate pausing zone is $120k to $180k for this year.. and then perhaps $240k to $540k for 2025.. as a kind of base case idea of where we might be going... yet again, who knows.. those are kind of rough ideas that could end up being overshot or undershot..

For some reason I stopped keeping up with this thread because I feel like most people are faking it but the truth about it is they are indirectly motivating alot of people including me. I presume most people are not faking it, even though there could be some fakers... ..which for me is so what? Let them fake it, but I hardly see what good it does, unless they are just wanting to receive a merit or something like that..
With my current schedule of school activities and building my career I have found myself reducing the rate at which I take the challenge because I don't have enough time by my side, I have to attend a lot of classes, do both assignments and the rest of it.
I do find it easier when I am in a location by myself.. but if there are people around, I have to try to find a private space to do my pushups. .and to kind of sneak them in before anyone notices or might walk in on me if I am in a separate room doing them.
Even with the reduction in practice, I have noticed much difference in on my body, it's really good to put oneself into things that will benefit you than say what you won't do. I'm more fit than before, I think I was among the first people who started this challenge and I'm going to a great number of push-ups almost a 3,000 push-ups and this was even based on my little health challenge that I had to stop at some point but at least with this I'm okay and practicing more.
I also enjoy reading through the thread seeing people interested in the challenge and how much Bitcoin they have been able to accumulate I had to also increase my stash of Bitcoin with my signature campaign payment, infact every of the experience is worth it.
If anyone is practicing this challenge I commend you to take it serious not for anyone's good but for yourself. I will only be hitting more push-ups during the weekend in the gym but for now my hands are tight. Good luck to everyone here.

It is surprising how the BTC price has gone pretty much straight up during the period of the challenge and right around 70% higher since the start of this thread, yet I am thinking that there were already some guys doing pushups before this thread started (in terms of the challenge being out there).. I cannot recall why I started my pushups one day before this thread started, and I think it was because some members (including OgNasty) had already been posting about it in the WO thread, so yeah, it is way better to have this separate thread to mostly hone in on this topic. and to keep it as a kind of speculation (which seems a stretch.. but no harm no foul, right?)

there's no doubt that most people ain't actually doing the pushups, well everybody doing it for themselves, so if you think you are deceiving others, well you're just deceiving yourself because those you may think you are deceiving are at there building their building their portfolio and same their body to be fit. So even though others might be pretending doesn't mean you should let it to affect yours . Just continue hitting the number of pushups you could it either by set or all at once. To be well fit with good health.
That's an interesting point regarding lying about pushups and/or lying about portfolio size.
Maybe they are similar? - though this whole forum is about bitcoin - and yeah there is allowance for other topics - and in regards, to bitcoin, I think that it has always been acceptable to talk about your portfolio in terms of hypotheticals rather than disclosing your actual holdings, even though some members have been fairly loose lipped with their specifics. I surely say a lot about my own specifics, yet surely many times I also disclaim that the actual details may or may not be true and may or may not reflect anyone in the real world that I know.
So frequently when talking about bitcoin, it is good to provide some frameworks that might reflect some kind of person that might be a somewhat middle of the road normie... or maybe someone who had a kind of demographics, while at the same time, in the end, if any of us are actually considering ourselves to be building our bitcoin portfolio, we still need to consider various tools for building and how realistic they might be in terms of our own financial and psychological circumstances.
Of course, pushups relates to health... and so there could be some motivations in regards to being deceptive regarding how much strength and/or health a person might have.
Day 37 for me. My tentative thinking is that I will try to continue with 5 sessions per day, and I am thinking that if I need a break, then I will lower the number of pushups per session rather than lowering the number of sessions... yet I suppose there is flexibility either way... and maybe there could be some value to have some lighter days... and probably the greatest danger for any of us doing either many sessions or many pushups per session would be if any of us might start to feel any repetitive stress type injuries.. which I think comes from pushing ourselves too much, and if we have lighter days or lighter sessions, then we likely would reduce the likelihood of any repetitive stress type injuries.
OgNasty's above point about having a day that is already filled with a lot of physical activity - those surely could be days to have lighter days, but yeah, each of us have our systems in place... and I am surely not strictly sticking with 100 pushups per day, since my last two weeks-ish, I have had days ranging between 125 pushups and 195 pushups... 195 is the most that I have done in any one day, so far.
