Maybe OgNasty has to talk more about this idea of achieving 1,000 pushups in a day, too?

I think you overestimate my influence.

Hahahahahaha.

You brought up the 1,000 pushups in a day for when the BTC price reaches $100k, and there were several guys (including but not limited to yours truly) who have been accounting for that kind of a suggestion, and it is not like you ONLY proclaimed such a thing in one post, you also had mentioned some of your testing out and/or working up towards having some kind of a pushups base that might help you to realistically make sure that you would be able to accomplish something like 1,000 pushups in a day.. or at least to get a feel for such quantity of pushups in one day.

So yeah my own thoughts about 500 pushups in a day (or even potentially more than 500 pushups in a day) that might lead up to our thoughts of how we might "celebrate" with pushups the day or week around which the BTC price is expected to reach $100k.

That aside, I received quite a bit of backlash when I was talking about that idea. Even doing the 300 in a day I received multiple messages telling me how bad it was and how I was opening people up to injury. I don’t want to be responsible for someone hurting themselves, so I say 100 a day is the right move and to add other exercises if that isn’t enough.

O.k.. Fair enough. You are not so excited about trying to get to 1,000 pushups in a day, yet I could give less than a ratt's ass concern about if members injure themselves because they fail/refuse to account for their own physical abilities and/or limitations in terms of goals that they might enter into as influenced by this thread or some of the posts within the thread, which might not even be true representations of what guys are actually doing.

Members need to take responsibility for their own choices, whether it comes to bitcoin investing or pushup quantities.

Should I place a disclaimer on my posts that say something in regards to this is not pushup advice.. .. I expect such disclaimer is implied, but yeah, maybe it does not hurt to throw out a disclaimer from time to time in the event that some members might end up over doing or under-doing their own pushup quantities based on what they read in this thread (or individual posts, such as mine, yours or any other supposedly influential forum member).

Maybe part of the reason that theymos does not disclose his pushups in this thread it because he does not want to take responsibility for his influence over others.. hahahahhaha..

Maybe I (or another pushup thread participant?) should call theymos some kind of negative name to the extent that he really exists beyond being a bot, to attempt to shame him into participating in pushups and/or into posting pushup reports?

Sure, I may try to do 1,000 in a day when we hit $100K, but I would do so with the disclaimer that I’m an idiot who is trying to hurt himself.

Disclaim whatever you like.. whatever... and in light of my previous post on the topic, hopefully you are building up to 1,000 in a day such as perhaps getting to a point that you can do around 500 (or half the amount of your goal) in a kind of maintenance way prior to trying to achieve 1,000 in a day.. even though surely it seems that if you had already achieved 300 in a day and maybe you have covertly had some other 300 pushup days, you might actually be able to gauge whether you might be able to increase your pushups by 3.33x in order to achieve 1,000 in a day.. ... but yeah, I personally believe it would be better to have one or two days that are close to 500 in a day to get a pretty good feel for whether 1,000 in a day is even realistic for your own physical condition.. .. but yeah, whatever, guys can do what they like in terms of how much they exert themselves or even if they do dumb things in regards to how they carry out their pushups, if they are even doing what they claim to be doing.

By the way, your assertion about it being good to supplement pushups with other exercises may or may not be a good idea, and arguably, there might be some goodness that comes from ONLY doing pushups in terms of daily exercises, so individuals need to figure out their own balances and/or whether they might want to include potentially inferior exercises into their exercise mix. #justsaying.. Long live the pushup!!!!! Cheesy

Nothing seems impossible as long there is enough readiness and deligence devoted to making it happen. A thousand pushups is honestly a huge number to do considering how much consequences one will receive. The human body will be forced to shutdown, mentally and physically, which may aswell lead to a shift in health balance. Meanwhile craving to make it happen is a personal urge and should not be the reason as to why others will want to do same or more. This thread is all about challenge and not a competition, no one is being paid for how much push ups done, so no need exceeding more than what should be enough.

I find your post a bit confusing, even though I can read within your post that you believe that there is personal discretion and personal responsibility that is needed by each of us in choosing to do pushups (and how many pushups that we choose to do or how to do such pushups). Yes, you state that injury could come about by overdoing it, and if you are implying that anyone is responsible for injury besides the member making the pushup doing choice, then I would disagree with that... including that there are risks to doing pushups, but there also might be risks in regards to not doing pushups... you out of shape fatty (not referring to you specifically, Obim34). hahahahaha
