You could very well be right. I have no idea how many push-ups I can do in a day. Maybe I’d hit 300 and stop or maybe I’d hit 500 and my arms would snap. Who knows? I probably wouldn’t push myself to that level, but I think I can do a lot more than 200. 800 might be ambitious, but I feel like maybe I could get there. Perhaps I should try 300 first.

Yes you can do 300 push ups first, try to increase later. If you suddenly try to do too many push-ups in one day, you will be extremely tired. Doing 800 push ups in a day will be difficult, but if you work hard you will be able to do it. Bitcoin price may still take many days to 80k, so you try to increase 400-500-600 like this. You have been doing regular push ups for a long time, hopefully you can do 800 push ups a day.

I am thinking something very similar in regards to the slowly increasing of pushups, even though there can be a general theory that if you have some kind of exercise that you are doing on a kind of maintenance level.. whether that is daily or 3 times per week, you should be able to double what you are doing on the maintenance level for a kind of one time ability to carry out. I used to use that approach in my historical running.. and tend to train at half or maybe once in a while 3/4 of the marathon (or whatever race) distance, and then I would be able to finish the length... Of course, I am referring to a kind of amateur training approach rather than a professional training approach, yet with something like a marathon, there tends to be a desire to just finish it without having to stop.. and even better if you can run the whole time without having to walk (except maybe walking at the water breaks while you are drinking water or something like that).

So yeah with the pushups, there could be ways to add quantities of pushups each day or even once a week and also to add sets or think about how many pushups to do for each set.... or how much time to wait between each set or how to spread the sets out during the day.

Many of us who are several months into daily pushups have already gotten over some of the worst of the initial soreness of muscles and joints, so we are likely more used to regularly doing pushups, so we do not have to be as careful in regards to major injuries or soreness that might come from just getting started with a new kind of exercise.. so then the questions come down to building up... which surely it might ONLY take a few weeks to go from 100 per day to 1000 per day on a one time splurge... there could even be a kind of increasing of the maintenance amount, and then once every several days or maybe once or twice a week do a splurge session (maybe once a week would be enough for something like that.. but if you believe waiting a whole week is too long then maybe something like every 5 days doing a splurge session)

~edit~

The blow it up comment, was more like starting anew on a fresh canvas, not throwing it all away.

I understand not fixing what is not broken. We can leave the 'daily reporting option' as an easter egg of sorts. The instructions are out there, and the code is live.

Just keep pointing people to the OP, that reporting format will always work.

Fair enough. I might have read too much into the significance of your various proposals.. and I am glad that you have interests in experimenting with new things and/or mixing some of the matters up a bit.. .. .. yet I also think what is going on here is also fairly interesting in the ways that I had already stated including that we continue to have forum members newly coming to participate in reporting their pushups, which some of them may well end up on a long streak of pushups and even changing some of their own exercise habits for the better.. .. even in my own life I am describing my doing of pushups. .and some guys start consider that maybe they have to consider adding some kind of exercise to their own daily routine... so it can be interesting how these word-of-mouth matters can end up spreading.

I'm back in this energetic thread again, although I don't make comments here everyday, but I do follow up on the discussions. And thanks to DirtyKeyboard, I always get notifications on the progress of our bushups.

I updated my last pushups countdown here about 6 days ago, and I've only pushed for 3 days within the 6 days and I have a reason, I observed that after the days exercise I always feel very dizzy, everything will be spining like fan in my eyes. I don't know if it's because I combine the 10 sets pushups with 10 sets squatting, maybe my energy can't carry it, so I decided to be taking one full day's break for now. My wife is advising me to see a doctor, although apart from this severe dizziness, I'm not feeling sick in any way, I don't know if it's a sign of something serious to see the doctor as she advised. Is anyone in this pushups community experiencing this dizziness too?

My total pushups for 10 sets in 3 days, 62, 67, 60 total 189 + 625 = 814. 100k,Kelward,18,814,2024-6-6

You do have to pace yourself, and you could have lack of fluids or even lack of iron in your diet, so you can work up to certain levels of exertion, but you should also make sure your diet and sleep are reasonable... and you tend to get iron from various proteins and red meat.. and your body absorbs the iron from meat better than the iron from plants (or non-meat).
