Your body shows that indeed you have been doing push-up despite your absence in this place perhaps you shouldn't have posted your picture here because I don't think is necessary I mean you don't own anyone any explanation or you don't have to proof to us that you were actually doing the push-up. The first time I talked about us posting our pictures to show if we are actually doing the push-up challenge JJG said it wasn't necessary and I later found that yes, it is not necessary because there will be a lot of pictures here and it won't make any sense. In summary don't bother posting your picture but make sure you do your push-up I mean it is for your own good and also to make this place lively. Please don't misunderstand me, keep up the push-up challenge your body look's great.

Surely it is optional to post your picture if you want, and if any member wants to post various pictures to show before and after or whatever else they want to post (about themselves) then that is their choice, even though it could affect aspects of their OpSec...

I would not consider pictures to be off-topic, yet it is possible that some of us might conclude some photos might be misrepresentations, yet it does not seem that we have any evidence that Mayor of ogba is misrepresenting in his Photos (he had posted photos and even a video) previously, so in that sense he has already been doing it. .and surely members are going to have differences in the way they present information or prioritize information..

so I would NOT consider the photos to be unhelpful, yet sometimes before and after can be a bit more informative.. but if a guy is just posting a photo from time to time, we will end up being able to see various different photos, to the extent any of that matters to showing pushup progress. I have done some of my own photos at various points, yet my own personal choice not to share (at least so far) remains a personal choice.

I don't think there's any problem with @Mayor of Ogba showing off his body build up since he cut his face out, bringing up pictures like this is even welcomed because there's no body that is engaging in this challenge that would not have a broader chest, more masculine body, and more visibility of the muscles so he has shown evidence to tell that even while some people might be faking it to be involved in the pushups, there are also others who is real about this challenge and @Mayor of Ogba has just proven to be one of them.

What the photo shows is another question, Btcdeybodi. We cannot necessarily know that Mayor of Ogba is doing pushups merely from the pictures that he had submitted.. and we cannot even really know for sure that it is really him, even though we can kind of take his claims with a grain of salt, just like we should be doing with the claims of any member, and surely if the member is submitting quite a bit of detail and even a variety of information, it might well tend to show that his claims are more likely to actually be true.. yet in this here thread there is not any great way to really know for sure, and I doubt that we even are expecting members to go that far in trying to prove that their claims are true, which surely if we were meeting a member in real life and seeing him doing pushups, then we are going to believe it more, but surely there also is no need for those kind of proofs, and in person proofs would likely be optional - even though I could imagine a couple of us meeting in real life and asking the other to show some real world proof of pushups (proof of the real ability to do the pushups that had been claimed).

Another thing that we know can be verified these days is bitcoin.. especially if we hold our own keys and run our own node.. and surely running our own node is more difficult than holding our own keys, yet these kinds of technical things are becoming easier in various ways, while at the same time they are not losing their challenges to have proof of bitcoin ownership...

In the end, several of us have already reiterated that high levels of proof of pushups is not required, and if members want to provide various kinds of extra levels of proof, including pictures and other kinds of proof, that is up to them... .. and at this time, we don't even see very many members submitting photos and higher levels of proof, so sometimes it can be interesting to see if members want to submit extra proof, just so that they want to do something that they want to do, and they have to figure out if they might end up regretting later, even though we can benefit from seeing some of their choices of presentation of their proof of pushups or other kinds of arguably pushup-related matters they want to present in this thread and discuss.

My Report: BTC100k,DirtyKeyboard,164,17137
I'm now able to do 15 pushups every minute for minutes 0 through 5 making 90, leaving 10 more for variety pushups.

90 regular, 5 diamond, and finished with 5 pushups on the knuckles.

You surely seem to be focusing on quality rather than quantity... and yeah 15 pushups per minute is like 4 seconds per pushup.. and so yeah, that is really slow and surely took you a while to build up to that.. I might try that on some of my sets. No problem to try to mix it up a bit, once in a while... but I doing 90 pushups over 5 minute sounds beyond my abilities, at least my current abilities. For me, even when I do pushups really slow, it seems I still cannot do them for over 70 or 80 seconds and I am completely worn out, and if I do them really slow maybe I get something around 40 pushups.. so I did not try doing something like 15 in a minutes, that seems more like planks rather than pushups but surely it is concentrating on resistance rather than cardio..

No. I'm doing 15 pushups in around 25 seconds, then resting for 35 seconds for the next set at the end of the each minute. I'm up to 5 diamond pushups on the last set. I start the stopwatch and do sets of 15 pushups every minute untill hitting 90, and then I've been playing around with some 'novelty' pushups for the last 10. Diamonds, knuckles, uneven... someone posted a great info graphic with the different styles out there.

What you are doing does sound within a realm of doable even for my level of pushup abilities, so it might be worth it for me to try something like that from time to time, with some type of my own personal twist to it.. and so with the 6 sets that get up you up to 90 pushups in around 6 minutes (or maybe it would be 6.5 minutes by the time you finish the last set). .and then yeah with the novelty pushups that would end up bringing you to around 7.5 minutes to finish all of it.. and maybe an additional minute or so to write it down.

I would imagine that the first few sets might feel a bit like a warm up. and then you might feel good for the 3-4 sets and then start to feel more soreness for the 5, 6 and 7th sets.. part of my current goal is still trying to keep the daily quantity up.. but it may well be worth a try to try to mimic something related to what you are doing for the first 100-ish pushups of the day.. and then for me personally to finish off the day with another 3-4 sets of my own style.. maybe later in the day.. I will think about it.. yet I think for me, doing your style for my first several sets would be better than trying to do them later..

and yeah, there seems to be a bit of strictness with watching the clock, but there should be some ability to just see where the clock is and to figure out whether you are in a pushup period or in a rest period. You have given enough specifics to create a potential challenge for me and/or for any other member who might want to give something like that a shot.
