Coming across this thread has been totally inspiring for me, I’ve recently been procrastinating on joining the challenge but no more as we speak I hit 15 push ups this morning to begin my journey although,
I don’t plan to make an entry until I’m sure my dedication is 100 like the pushups.
Well I didn’t think it’ll be so difficult to keep up buh I’ve found it uneasy to meet up my first 15 push ups I did like two days ago, I tried to maintain the 15 but it wasn’t easy ended up achieving only 10 yesterday and today.
I’m wondering what might be the cause of this hinderance cause some time ago I could give a 50 push ups straight from the start to end without looking like I’m trying to commit suicide anyways no retreat no surrender I’ll keep going at my pace if it’s 10 I’ll stick to it the ahead is worth every sweat.
You can do modified pushups, which makes it easier to do them.

I thought as much , and it is more better that way though . It would help to reduce the stress and it would also help to make things to be in order , then I will try not to missed any reports again . Among those with higher days of pushups I'm literally the one with the smallest numbers of pushups

it pains... I've to try harder then and be more aggressive with my pushups without over doing it or getting myself break down

Maybe if you tried doing 5 sets of 15? That would be 75 for the day. And you could do 20,15,20,15,20 - and that would be 90 for the day. I am not going to say it is easy because it hurts, but I think that if you are able to spread them out and do them throughout the day, it gives your body a chance to recover, both in terms of joints but also in terms of overall tiredness that comes from adding extra exertion into your daily routine. I feel tired from adding the lunges, so I have to spread them out and maybe some days I will do more and other days fewer, and hopefully continue to be able to build (while also attempting to maintain most of my energy focus on the pushups until maybe some times I am in the mood for the distraction of the other "substitute" exercise - like the lunges in my case.
