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 started this challenge 7 days ago and I do 35 push ups in the morning 30 in the afternoon and 35 in the evening.
I agree with you that spreading them and doing it throughout the day will be so helpful, when I start my arms were really in pain but now I have adapted.
I must say is not an easy one for me but I'm happy doing it that way, for a long time now I have not been to the gym so am talking this challenge very serious especially now that I know there are a lot of health benefits doing push ups everyday.
It's good to know you've been able to adapt to doing 100 PUs a day, considering how challenging it was for me to adapt, I first started with 5 sets of 20 PUs per day, but along the line, I figured out that it gets me worn out quickly and not being able to rejuvenate before the next day made it even more challenging for me to finish up. I was being consistent but along the line, thanks to the advice of the good men here, I figured out it was just about being consistent but figuring out what method works with you, so rather than joining others, I devices my own method which was doing 14 sets of 15 PUs which gave me around 102 PUs per day, and that's what ive been using till date and it's been working pretty well for me.
And you said you started the challenge 7 days ago and you've been consistent, I don't know if you've noticed but if you've not, we have a script by DirtyKeyboard and the script contains the records and reports of every Pusher who's currently participating in this challenge, I'm saying this because I can't seem to find your name on the Script, probably because you've not started dropping your PU reports.
You can start reporting your PU progress so DirtyKeyboard can include your name on the script so we know you're officially part of this challenge.
I believe you must've been seeing other participants' report so you should know how to make your reports but if you still don't know I'll show you below.
100k,YOURUSERNAME,NUMBEROFDAYS,NUMBEROFPUSHUPS,YEAR-MONTH-DAYAnd remember that there should be no spacing between the figures, except there's a spacing included in your username, but since your username has no spacing, you wouldn't be needing one.
And speaking of report, I've not been able to drop my report for 6 days now, so I'll do that now (excluding today's report because I'm still yet to complete today's task) so it can be included in the script.
Hence my Current Report
