Re: 100 Push-Ups A Day Until Bitcoin Is $100K Challenge

Below is my pushups report sheet that I will be recording everyday in my notebook. I'm very happy to be part of this experience

That looks good. Each row of my chart has 5 slots for up to 5 pushup sets per day, and if I do more than 5 pushup sets in a day then I add another row for that day,. and so I label each of my pushup sets with the time that I did the set, and how many seconds it took me to do each of the pushup sets.

The idea of recording ones daily pushups maybe for reference in future seem to be a very nice one generally,however using pen on paper could be prone to errors like the idea of adding more columns on a row section (just as you mentioned) whenever there's an increase in the total sets done for that particular row(usually a day) which is a bright one actually, with pencil there's still a chance of erasing it but later it will still get rough (and that's even if the end of margin hasn't be reached), with pen it's far worse but with a digital hosted spreadsheet then everything can be done smoothly. There's no really need for PC there are many a lot of software for mobiles to perform them so anyone thinking of doing such can always use the software(which more easier and neater).

I understand that some of us are spoiled, and we both have a computer, but we also have some decently powerful spreadsheet like Excel (which can be a bit expensive for some folks to justify purchasing the program).. but yeah, I understand that there are some free programs that can be used to accomplish similar things, especially with the more basic spreadsheet functions.

Can you (or any other member) recommend some possible mobile spreadsheets (applications) that could be used on either Iphones and/or on Android phones? Free versions and maybe even paid versions? I know I could search, yet I think it is better to get some recommendations from any members who might be already using (or testing out) various versions.

Most likely I am not going to use the mobile version of spreadsheets, but you never know. I know that from time to time, when I am sharing my Excel spreadsheet (or various subparts of them), it is fairly well presented on whatever applications are already on the Iphone. I presume android phones can also read my Excel spreadsheets, and in the past 10-20 years, we have come along way with cross-compatibility and even way less bugginess (or changes in format) compared to some of the earlier attempts at cross-platform-compatibility matters.

Today I completed a total of 100 push-ups in 3 sets. I did 30 push-ups in the first set, 30 push-ups in the second set, and 40 push-ups in the third set to complete today's 100 push-ups. Doing 40 push-ups at once in the last set was difficult for me. But with a little effort I was able to do it. I am trying to increase the number of push-ups in each set of my push-ups. In this way, I will give a total of 100 push-ups in 1 set a day.

100 pushups in one set is a very BIG aspiration.

I think that even very athletic folks have difficulties increasing their pushup sets passed the 50-100 arena, and many times get caught somewhere in the 60-80 per set range, yet sure it might be more possible for some of us to increase to something close to or exceeding 100 pushups in a set as compared with others.

I had already mentioned that I had quite a few difficulties increasing past 55, and so even though after around 63 days of doing pushups, I have had many pushup sets in the 55-65 range, I am not even considering very likely that I would be able to get very close to being able to do 100 pushups in any set in the near future, or perhaps even within my lifetime.. but hey never say never.

Don't get me wrong.. I don't consider it very practical or reasonable for me to even want to be able to do 100 pushups in a set.. especially at this point in my life... so doing 100 pushups in a set does not really even seem to be something that I want to work towards achieving, even though I have in my plan to try to do as many pushups that I can in 20 sets around the time when the BTC price reaches $100k.

But, yeah, everyone can consider what is within some kind of a target that they believe to be reasonable and potentially achievable for them.

I had a terrible experience today after going off from the pushups exercise after my last report, I was unable to pushups today after managing to hit 160 in two sessions yesterday, I am so sore with pains in my arms and up chest hence I came up with the conclusion that it is better to be doing fewer pushups daily than just totally neglecting it for few days.

I have not really skipped days, but I have had days in which I did way fewer pushups and pushup sets that were really spread far apart (in terms of time between sets), and frequently there can be issues to allow the pushup sets to get spread out too much.. which I imagine also to be the case if whole days are skipped..

So likely each of us has to figure out if there might be some days that we are really busy or not able to do very many pushups, then maybe on those days it would still be better to attempt to do some quickie sets.. and to just figure out a way to fit in at least one or two sets in a day, rather than completely skipping days.

Another way of saying the same thing is that having a goal to be able to do a lot of pushups or a lot of pushup sets is to ongoingly do the pushups to keep such abilities up to at least a certain maintenance level.
