Something like that might work. Perhaps "date last reported" would somehow get included for each member too, so if there were to be a table that would end up getting updated from time to time, then such table would also show the last date that each of the members had reported his/her results... so maybe the member has to put the date in there, too (unless maybe you would be able to figure out the date of last update from the date in which the post was made?) ..
Anyhow, maybe there would be a running total that also requires members to send in their updates from time to time - perhaps once a week or once every couple of weeks.

Okay. It might get ignored, and we have to assume one is posting the UTC date, but here is the new
format:
100kchallenge,UserName,daysreporting,pushupscompleted,Date-Reporting-In(yyyy-mm-dd)
example:
100kchallenge,DirtyKeyboard,57,5081,2024-04-06

I'm hoping for something like UserName | Days | Pushups | Last Report

We still need members to do their report, so then you would just end up running the script or something like that, right?

Here's my latest report under the new format.. actually the end of the day, so all 5 pushup sets have been completed

[edited out]

I agree with you at JayJuanGee when it comes to push-ups. It usually takes some time, even up to some months, before someone can see the result in his body, and if the person is not serious about the push-up, he might quit the push-up because of the lack of a good result on time.

I remember when I was in my 20s and 30s, I would frequently do flexing of my pectoral muscles and the kind of movements that is just flexing and unflexing the pectoral muscle, so I think that since I had not been doing chest workouts for some time, I was not really able to do that, so in recent times, that function has come back, but there still is a quite bit of body fat in my upperbody area, so it sometimes is not very easy to see the difference, even though I believe that some amount of difference is noticeable, but it may not be as noticeable to someone who might not see you very often..

or maybe if someone sees you every single day they also might take some time before they actually notice.. but the increase in strength has to translate to ongoing increases in the muscle, but we could also easily lose it if we don't keep it up to a certain amount... there has to be enough ongoing exercise, but yeah, not so much that we either injure ourselves our wear ourselves out, and sometimes it can be quite difficult to know if we might be going too far (or farther than we should go).

For people to build their bodies faster during push-ups, they should do plenty of push-ups daily, like 300 push-ups, that will help build their bodies faster.

Even with doing that many, there is probably some need to make sure to work up to it, and some of the short training videos that I had watched mentioned that some guys will suffer from repetitive stress type injuries if they overdo it, so that could come from not having enough breaks between sets, which is also going to partly depend on age and other aspects of your physical fitness, and perhaps some genetic components for some guys, too.

It may also be that perhaps this whole thread, we are already getting in the territory of starting to get close to 100k pushups as a collective. .. of course, some members are already not reporting, and there also may be some members who gave up too.. they did a few days of pushups and then got busy with other things... that seems to be a kind of nature of these kinds of things that emphasize on persistency.. just like BTC accumulation might also have those characteristics.....

that's true , when the challenge started back then they where alot of users who where dropping reports on how their daily pushups went each day but as time past , their interaction with this thread dropped. I would have been among those who have given up but I didn't because anytime I just come around to read the latest gist in this thread see how some users keep hitting their pushups I always force myself to hit some pushups though it may not be upti 100 . And the other reason why most users decided to quit is that back then they fully believe that bitcoin may hit $100k before the halving ( but now it seems doubtful) , while for me have already have the mindset that bitcoin is definitely going to hit $100k after the halving so I knew that this challenge won't be an easy task, but still helpful and fun.

Sure. There could be some truth that some of the enthusiasm in the beginning was for the possibility that the BTC price might go up quickly, but it seems even at the very beginning of this thread, the price was still in the lower $40ks, so I find that guys tend to be overly pessimistic rather than overly optimistic about where the BTC price is going to go, even though surely a lot of guys will hope that the BTC price will go up fast, many times they are not really expecting the price to go up as much as it ends up going up... so it is difficult, even with those of us who have been through quite a few BTC price rise periods, it can be so difficult to believe while it is happening.. so it can take a while to really get used to higher prices, and even guys complaining about mid -$60k prices or even right now upper $60k prices, and it just seems amazing to me, even though there is some expectation of it, but at the same time it is still amazing to go through each of these times of great price rises..for some of us 2016/2017 and then 2021 and then the current one that seems to be going on.. . .

My time in the 2013 price rise was mostly on the falling side, so I did not get to personally experience that 2013 upside.. though surely there are some guys here who did.. .. to the extent that they are still around.. and I currently feel like such an OLD foggie, even though surely the guys that got in prior to me are more old foggies than me - even though there have been quite a few of the guys who even admit that they largely had not been able to hang onto their coins.. and so that may be why so many of us emphasize both the accumulating of BTC and engaging in practices to hang onto your coins.. .which is one of the misreadings of my own threads about sustainable withdrawal, since so many members get so excited to want to take profits and to begin to engage in withdrawals, but that is not even the point that I really am making with my various sustainable withdrawal theories, since you gotta get yourself some BTC first.. when maybe brings us back to the pushups to be continuing to do them in order that the push ups get us to a place. and then maybe we will see things more clearly after we get to that place.

That would be nice and it is also well arrange, and sir JJG just mentioned about adding date earlier and I can see that you did a great job there. This format is definitely nice .

But you also need to provide your report so that DirtyKeyboard will be able to plug it in.. whether you do your report daily, weekly or every couple of weeks.

Nice.

I hope that either some members can give their personal reports in the latest proper format or alternatively some members might gather the information of other members and to put that gathered information into the proper format so that your system or your script or whatever you are doing would be able to compile it and add it into your table.

I have some suggestions and/or questions.

1) maybe "date" could be changed to "Last reported"

2) I wonder if you could add an average per day column

3) I would imagine that you are going to end up having totals, but surely with ONLY one qualifying report, there is no need for row that puts in the totals.

4) is your system going to only include the latest pushup update for each member, so that you would not have to manually sort any of it?
