As much as JayJuanGee asked Sotelorene to tell us how he achieved an average of 200 push-ups per day, don't make it look like doing 200 push-ups a day is impossible. He can adopt a strategy that would make him not struggle to complete the 200 push-ups a day; the strategy will only be time-consuming. For instance, Sotelorene can adopt a strategy of 10 sets of 20 reps, in which he will maintain 20 push-ups in each set, which I think is easy to achieve. There was a time in this push-up challenge when I did more than 200 push-ups per day in 4 reps in a week. If you have been doing push-ups like the people on this thread, 200 push-ups a day is a small number to achieve.
Personally, I believe that we deserve a bit of a description (even if somewhat cursory) from anyone who is coming to the thread and claiming to be doing a lot of pushups.
I agree that doing a lot of pushups in a day is not necessarily physically difficult for some folks and it may well even be fairly easy for some who are already used to doing them on a fairly regular basis or doing some kind of very closely related kind of activities, especially if you break them up into smaller numbers per set, as you suggested.
Nonetheless there still comes quite a bit of dedication to do either 100 pushups per day or even 200 pushups per day and to both included it into your daily routine and/or to agree to keep track of such pushups.
I personally believe that it is not very easy to keep up with averaging 200 pushups per day, yet I know that folks have different abilities and even ages that make a difference.
To anyone doing 100 pushups in 1 shot what time do you do the 100 in?
I believe that no one here has yet gotten to that level yet.. Maybe we had a few guys in the 80s..? but yeah, maybe I am missing some of that. Personally my best is 69 so far on April 30, and they were a bit fast in 57 seconds..
Lately I have been doing my pushups quite a bit slower, but even when I shoot for quantity, I am usually not even able to get more than 55 pushups in any one set.. .which the last time I did 55 pushups I did them in 46 seconds on May 27th.
Another thing is that I am not sure if too many guys are timing their pushup sets. I am up to 118 days, yet I did not start to time my pushups until day 51 after there had been several times of discussing slow versus fast pushups and so for myself I thought that it might become helpful to keep track of pushup speed.
