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.

The way that you are doing your pushups (pushup sets) 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 (if necessary, but I could try to specifically follow yours, though I am not wanting to do any novelty pushups for that last set).. and so with the first 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 of the first 6 sets?). .and then yeah with the novelty pushups that would end up bringing you to around 7.5 minutes to finish doing all of the pushups to get you to 100 total for the day.. and maybe an additional minute or so to write it down.. to the extent that you are writing it down more than just including your results in your daily-ish post in this thread..
I would imagine that the first few sets might feel a bit like a warm up, and then you might feel fairly strong and good by the time you get to the 3rd and 4th sets and then perhaps start to feel more soreness (and muscle burning) for the 5th, 6th and 7th sets..
Like I had already mentioned, part of my current goal is still trying to keep up my daily quantity of pushup.. in a kind of maintenance that ends up serving as a kind of preparation.. but to throw in a bit of funzies, it may well be worth a try to try to mimic something related to what you are doing for my first 100-ish pushups of the day.. and then for me (depending on the rest of my daily schedule) personally I may wall want to finish off my day with another 3-4 sets of my own style of straight out pushups.. maybe given a few hours of rest after the 100-ish pushups and then so doing the remaining pushups spread out later in the day back within my own style for the later sets.. I will think about it.. yet I think for me, doing your style of pushups for my first several pushup sets for the day would be better than trying to do that level of more strictness later in the day.. since your system does seem harder than mine, yet I am not going to really know until I try them out and then see if it affects my remaining sets of the day.. It could well be that mixing my style up with your style might cause me to change some of my style....
I am all talk so far.. in the thinking about it stage.. so I just have to consider if I might try out your style tomorrow or perhaps some other day this week... .. For me, part of the motivation to do something comes from thinking a wee bit about what I am considering doing, first..
and yeah, there seems to be a bit of strictness in your particular style with watching the clock, so during the sets, there should be some abilities to just watch where the clock is (I will do a timer) and to figure out whether you are in a pushup period or in a rest period. You have given me (and the rest of the world, whoever is reading this thread) enough specifics (and direction) to create a potential challenge for me and/or for any other member (or non-member) who might want to give something like your current style a shot.
Ok. Earlier today, for my first set of pushups for the day, I ended up doing this kind of a DirtyKeyboard style of condensed sets of pushups with a wee bit of an attempt to purposefully slow down the pushups, and so I ended up doing 7 sets of 15 pushups within about 6.5 minutes, and so in the first couple of sets I was mostly able to comply with about 25 seconds for each of those sets, and so little by little I had to do the pushups faster in order to be sure to be able to fit in a whole 15 pushups, since I did not want to fail prior to reaching 15 pushups for each of the sets.
It was o.k. I am not completely against the idea of mixing it up a bit, and yeah I skipped the diamond pushups and I was NOT liking it the whole time, since I find quite a bit of value in my current approach that involves attempting to max myself out for each of my sets, so yeah, currently mostly I am getting somewhere between 40 and 60 pushups per set depending on the speed that I do them, and also, I can have slower and/or faster pushups within my sets, and another thing that I had been thinking about is sometimes making sure to really maximize the full range of the pushups, which sometimes I do and sometimes I don't.. so I kind of guage my style based on how I am feeling and the extent to which I might still be wanting to make sure to get a certain quantity of pushups for the day.
Today, so far, I have done 5 additional sets, besides the first set of 7 sets (which was 105 pushups in those first 7 sets), and the total for today, so far is 320 pushups, and maybe I will do one or two more sets for today, depending on how I feel physically and/or in terms of whether I might have any time crunches and/or conflicts, and in recent times, I am finding some value in doing a lot of sets of high quantity pushups each day.. just because I can.. and my being able to do so many pushups seems to ONLY be possible because I have worked up to these kinds of quantity levels, and getting up to this level did not come easy, even though I have a feeling that if I stop doing a certain quantity of daily pushups, it may take a bit of effort to work back up to my current level of pushup abilities.
Another thing is that I wanted to get my today's report in prior to the publication of today's pushup table, even though I may well have one or two pushup sets for today, yet I am not going to further amend today's pushup report, so any remaining pushups that I might end up doing today, after the submission of today's pushup report, will be included in my future report(s) - so long as I don't become unable to further do pushups or to submit pushup reports after this one..
(anything could happen).. .hahahahaha.
