I decided to get 200 push-ups in today to celebrate my 13 year anniversary on this forum. Felt so good that I got some curls and work on the heavy bag in until my elbow got sore. I’m surprised how easily I got 200 in this time. Sort of makes me wonder how many I could do in a day if I really tried. Maybe one of these days I’ll give it a shot. 1000 push-ups the day Bitcoin hits $100K?

Congrats for achieving such a mile stone, 13 years here in the forum and still counting shows how competent, trustworthy and reliable your existence in the forum has impacted many users. We still hope to see you celebrate another anniversary in the coming years.

How do I believe that you can hit 1000 pushups a day, I still doubt knowing how intense and painful it will be and once your arms gets weak you can't survive to complete the rest. Achieving such a number of pushups then the preparation should begin from now, start by hitting 200-400-600-800 before getting to 1000 because it's a gradual process of bearing those pains and your arms needs to get used to larger numbers before attempting that greater figure.

You can't hire someone else to do your push-ups for you, so do them.
By Jim Rohn

I am pretty sure that I could do 500 in a day, since I was already able to do 300 in a day.  I would just have to increase my number of sets to maybe 10 sets or maybe 15 sets rather than limiting myself to 5 sets in a day... 15 sets of 34 pushups would go slightly higher than 500 pushups... 1,000 would ber much more challenging, but someone younger than me in his 20s or 30s may well be able to accomplish something like that.. perhaps 20 sets of 50 or 30 sets of 34.. .. Maybe 30 sets would be one set every 1/2 hour... It would not be impossible.. but it seems that it might not be a good thing for someone who is not quite up to it.. and even for me, 500 in a day might be a bit more than my body is able to handle.. but I still believe that I could do it if I dedicated my day to it... 15 sets of 34  would be about one set per hour-ish.

I will think about it, and I might give it a shot one of the days after BTC hits $100k, but if I start to try to do it, and it is seeming impossible to achieve, then maybe I will abandon it.

I am going to say that I brought my average up to 200 pushups per day for today, yet tentatively, I am now planning to allow my average drop down to around 150 per day, and so it could take more than a month to achieve that, but I am going to take some pressure off of myself, because it is just too much for me to be trying to keep my 200 pushups average.

My plan is to try to do between 100 and 150 pushups, and so I am not going to get stressed out as long as my pushups are somewhere in that range.. and maybe, I will just see how it goes in the coming weeks as far as the next target.
Wow!  If pushups were miles you could go around the Earth, just about.

Fair enough.  I just looked up the statistic, and that is 24,901 miles to go around the world at the equator.

Hey everybody.  IF you had the option to report your daily pushups instead of your total pushups would you
  • A: Vote that reporting daily, not total pushups, should become the default immediately
  • B: Vote you like the idea and agree to put in one post, "111,User Name,daily", one time to get on the "daily reporter" list
  • C: Vote to stick to the OP format, sink or swim
  • D: Quote the table and have your vote invalidated.   Tongue
  • E: Other (improvment suggestions) _______________
My votes...
A.  Let's blow up the whole table, and start over with 100 pushups reported per day max.
B. 111,DirtyKeyboard,daily
100k,DirtyKeyboard,115,103,2024-06-04
D.  Fsck!  Grin
E.  Who needs to report a date?  I'm going to work to auto post the table daily just prior to midnight UTC, and then just put the UTC date for the last date seen, and no one has to worry about the date anymore, as long as the 'Days In' are correct, that should work, right?  If it's not a greater Days In, then don't add the quoted report's pushups.
If no one quoted anyone else's report this would be gravy.  


Horey sheit DirtyKeyboard.  Are you in blow up the world fantasy land or what?

Listen to your last question.  If no one quoted anyone else's report then the world would be gravy.. .. and yeah, that does not seem to be too likely....

You have like a really wonderful thing going on here, and it works and it is really allowing for folks to see their own pushups, and also the pushups of others.. so it seems quite a good thing, and there is a lot of room for individual variance too including guys who might want to do a lot of pushups and guys who don't want to do very many and also guys who might be a bit sporadic in their push up reports.

In the end, you can do what you like, yet to me it seems that we have a good thing going on here, including but not limited to more and more members including themselves in the table...

And yeah, maybe you are tired and/or bored of doing so much work, yet I believe guys do appreciate how creative you have been in pushup table production, yet now you are seeming to want to blow it all up.

You are like the bald old guy who divorces his wife and spends all of his savings to get the convertible that he had wanted since high school.

hahahahahahaha

By the way... 44 pushers.. and getting very close to 200k collective pushups..   I had been looking forward to the day that the number of pushers equals or exceeds 100... but if you mess around with the table too much (or the rules regarding how the pushups are counted), then you may well end up discouraging members from submitting their push up reports at their own leisure.. .. and another thing, many of the members in this thread have now been trained to submit their reports properly.. even though some of us still make mistakes from time to time.. the fact that most of us are not making mistakes is an accomplishment in itself... Sure, there are a few dummies.. but still we got a good thing going on here.. why fix what is not broken?

Why would someone wants to do 1k pushups in a day,is this even achievable because I can't even imagine myself or another person doing it in a day. I haven't heard or see it in any records that someone did 1k pushups in day and I might not know how you came up with this strategy of yours but I expect you to test it on yourself and see if its achievable before bringing it up for people to try.

It seems that the world record is 46,001 pushups in 24 hours that was set in April 1993 (actual quantity of time was 21 hours and 21 minutes of doing pushups 36 pushups per minute on average), so surely 1,000 should be a lot easier for normies to achieve, even though I personally am not likely to try any more than 500 pushups in a day any time soon... but that is me.. with a so far personal best of 300 pushups in a day, and I cannot even recall if my 300 pushups in a day were of very good quality.

Are you also into cardio at the moment?

I don't claim to be in very good shape, even though I am trying various techniques to try to maintain and potentially build, so I feel that these 122 days of pushups have been very good for me, so far.

In the late 1980s and into the early 2000s, I used to run quite a bit (a lot of half marathons, marathons and other distances), even though I claimed to not like it.  I also did quite a bit of partner dancing from about 2003 to 2019.. but I cannot really do those endurance cardio things now due to my own health issues that I don't really want to get into details about.

I was probably walking quite a bit between about 2018 and 2023.. though I resumed some resistance training (like in the gym) in mid-2023 - and then yeah of course, these pushups x 4 months... but I had done some weight lifting that has been scattered since the mid-80-s and various points through my life).  I did quite a bit of ultimate frisbee and also hapkido in the mid-90s.. maybe a around 6 years worth of those activities.

Thank you so much for your advice I really appreciate, you are right, I will follow what you just said and make sure I don't feel too emotional in this forum.
It will be better I remove emotion and focus on knowing about Bitcoin investment that was the main reason I joined this forum, like you have said emotions are out and I know it will help me grow fast.

No problem.  I personally believe that in forums like these, members lose arguments when they allow their emotions to get in the way of the contents of their posts, even though like I mentioned, strategically from time to time, it may be helpful to purposefully throw in a few emotions here and there just to emphasize a point or two (as long as you don't necessarily lose your cool, but merely make it appear that you lost your cool.. hahahahaha).

E. My suggestions if the daily updating of the (your) script might become difficult for any reason, I would suggest weekly updates could be find, using the weekly updating formats of some signature campaigns managers on your spreadsheet which you brought up earlier. we could sum up our daily reports at the end of every week and then the spreadsheet could be updated with the weekly sum up. This might be better to reduce the work load for you @Dirtykeyboard and others if there is.

Actually that is not a bad idea.  If DirtyKeyboard might not want to run the script every day, then maybe every other day or every 3 days of even once a week.  Any of those longer timelines might be alternatives, if there might not be a desire to run the table every day.
