The thread is about pushups, so who gives any shits about the other aspects of physical fitness that you are mentioning.. Sure some of those kinds of ideas have come up in the thread in the last 8.5 months, yet many times members attempt to mostly redirect our discussion towards pushups, so if there is some desire to create a topic about some other kind of exercise, physical fitness or whatever, else then so be it. We largely just focus on pushups in that thread with merely some incidental mentioning of some other topics that might relate to other exercises, the advantages disadvantages or resistance exercises versus cardio or perhaps some sideline discussions of nutrition and/or sleep.. but still mostly pushups and our hoping that bitcoin prices go to $100k sooner or later, remains as most of the focus of that particular thread discussion.

Those of you who talk about push ups don't have a clue. As I said, doing 100 push-ups a day is stupid. What's even more stupid is to have a thread where they report, and there is no way to check that what they report is true, when many of those who participate wear a paid signature. Do you want to do push-ups? Better use this:

You can spin matters all that you like. This forum's pushup thread is not just about pushups. It is about pushups, BTC and the price... Yeah, we focus on pushups in that thread, yet the activity is still within the context of bitcoin and even seems to be related to proof of work.. even though no one is going to know if we actually did the work beyond ourselves.. the ones claiming to do the daily-ish pushups.

Interesting juxtaposition of ideas, and sure you can disagree all that you like, yet if you claim (spin) the matter as if it is ONLY about pushups and has nothing to do with the BTC price, then you are most-likely engaged in fantasy rather than really dealing with facts on the ground that inspire men (and perhaps a woman/girl or two) to attempt to feel what it is like to do some pushups ever day or somewhere there abouts.

This programme, instead of doing the bullshit 100 push ups a day, trains you to be able to do them. You do a set of push ups right now and you can only do 7 in a row? The programme teaches you how to get to 100:

1. It doesn't do the stupidity of training every day. Resting is just as important or more important than training for fitness.
2. Increase the workload progressively.

The programme that you refer to is not what we are doing. We are doing bitcoin to $100k pushups which is a different thing from "the programme" which you are claiming to be superior.

One thing superior about our particular thread is that it is is within the context of talking about pushups and trying to do pushups every day until the BTC price reaches $100k. Is such a thing even possible for real people? If you are a real person, do you want to give it a shot? Go ahead. Try it. It is not so easy, especially trying to keep in mind the fact that you are doing pushups and also wishing the BTC price gets to fucking $100k as soon as possible so that you don't have to be committed to doing them every day. It's a bit of a unique angle, and perhaps a wee bit difficult for guys to understand and/or appreciate unless they are actually doing the pushups rather than theorizing about how pushups supposedly does not relate to BTC and/or the BTC price.

It seems that I know more about fitness than all of you who say you do push ups in this thread and, yes, I can assure you that doing 100 push ups a day is very stupid.

It sounds like you are making up your supposed level of knowledge about pushups, since the level of knowledge that you have both about pushups and how they relate to the BTC price going up to $100k is more likely understood by going through the experience rather than merely talking about it. Get on the ground and do 100 pushups and then tell me that you still know more than the guys who have been doing pushups in that thread for several months and some of the guys in the ballpark of 8 months or more.

And to have whiners on here saying it's going to affect their health negatively to have the thread moved to off topic when it's only focused on pushups is really stupid.

I am not going to claim to know how each guy is affected and/or motivated to do pushups or to participate based on the idea of pushups being connected to BTC and/or the BTC price, yet I suspect that there are a decent number of guys who have been affected by pushups being brought into the bitcoin world and also to have the idea of daily pushups (aspiring to 100 per day) being connected to the BTC price going to $100k (or not).

The supposed improvement from doing 100 pushups a day, if any, is very limited.

1) It's only anaerobic exercise (maybe a little aerobic if you do them in a row).

Many guys are really only able to do somewhere in the ballpark of 15-30 pushups in a row, depending on how fast they do them or if they do them in good form. It is quite difficult to get up to even 50 pushups in a row when trying to do them fast, so theorizing about how many pushups a guy is able to do in a row is a wee bit different than seeing how guys are able to do pushups in the real world and potentially even trying to do pushups yourself to find out that they are not as easy as they seem to be.

2) It doesn't increase workload.
3) It does not rest the muscles (essential).
4) It only works a specific part of the body.

I am not going to claim to know exactly the extent to which pushups might help in various ways besides just being able to do pushups, even though I would suspect that strength is improved in a variety of related areas besides just being able to do more pushups.

It could even be the case that some guys are doing pushups just to be part of a bitcoin related activity and they may or may not really be too tied to the idea of whether pushups are helping them in any physical way, so in that sense there is a psychological effect that comes from doing pushups, especially if they are done every single day.. not easy I must repeat in telling you. Holding bitcoin is also not easy. .including some guys continuing to buy bitcoin, too.

Your own perspective about wanting to get rid of the WO thread

Wait, what? Where did I want to get rid of WO?

I did a quick review of your posts in this thread, and I could not find the specific reference that was in my head, so it could be possible that I read too much into your seeming maniacal pursuit for topicality and your seeming negativism in regards to calling the forum a spamforum, and perhaps I also mixed some of your sentiment up with the sentiment of other members who seem to be on the same side as you in terms of pursuing the idea of absolute categories of off-topicness in regards to the pushups thread, as if the thread being allowed to stay within bitcoin areas of the forum after already achieving 179 pages were even close to being as important of a violation of "categories" as it is being made out to be.
