Welcome all new pushers! Getting close to 100 JayJuanGee.

Some Streisand effect perhaps.

I wonder how that will affect the current price action we are witnessing.

Not a bad thing to have some additional pushers, so maybe some of us might start wishing that the price does not go up too fast - otherwise, we might not make the 100+ pushers prior to the price reaching $100k.

There has been science and math to support that more pushers equal more pushups and therefore higher prices, just like Satoshi had proclaimed. Make it so:

.........btw it is necessary to lower slower since my setdown is my far head touching the fourth step. not my chest touch the floor.

I don't think many people in here are putting their chest to the floor. I try to go a bit lower than 90 degrees, so touching your [far hear] is that fore head?, to the stair sounds like a good range of movement. Let's go!

I have my doubts about any chests touching the floor since that might end up screwing up form for eigther too much slouching or maybe even going lower than necessary for the pushup to count.

I was recalling that there might have been some proclamations that if another person put their fist right where the chest is coming down, then the pushups would go to the level that the chest would touch the fist.. so the lowest level of the chest would end up being around a few inches from the floor.

I am not even a "far head" snob, especially since I have had plenty of pushups in which my far head was touching the floor upon the lowest pushup point, and I think that form can still be kept even if the far head might touch the floor.

@jjg I don’t rush them maybe two seconds a pushup.

the key for me is a deliberately slower descent. Thus I do a pushup followed by a lower down.

kind of extra exercise on the way down.

btw it is necessary to lower slower since my setdown is my far head touching the fourth step. not my chest touch the floor.

Slow can be kind of like a compromise between pushups and planks...and yeah I agree that pushups are way more difficult to do when done slowly... yet it still does not mean that guys need to do their pushups slowly, since guys can do whatever they like in terms of their own speed versus form.. and at the same time, there surely may need to be at least minimum standards in regards to form, even though guys are under their own discretion in regards to what they consider to count as a pushup.

I see that DirtyKeyboard's script (or perhaps him?) is on strike.

Not on strike. I jumped on late last night to add a little touch to the report, and messed up one small detail.

Three second pushups sound difficult! I'm aim for 1.5 seconds, although I do like variety and sometimes like to see how quickly I can do 10 pushups with no bouncing or jerking.

I started the slow challenge because it seems almost too difficult to do pushups slower than 2 seconds per pushup and OgNasty was stating that he was doing 4-5 seconds per pushup, which seems almost impossible, except elite athletes (or otherwise freaks of nature) to be able to accomplish anything close to that level of slowness of pushups, especially if we are talking about doing around 50 pushups in a set.

I am going to try this "one set per day" slow for a while, and then see how it goes. I don't really like doing the pushups slow like that, yet if it is just one out of 5 sets per day that end up fitting into such "slow" category, then maybe I can just experiment with that and see how it goes.

By the way today, I thought that I was going slower than yesterday, and I ended up getting 30 pushups in 68 seconds, and gosh that hurt, but it also caused me to question if I had measured my yesterday 25 pushups in 75 seconds correctly.

If I keep doing them, then I will get a sense for what might seem reasonably within the realm of accomplishable for normies, including myself somewhat as a normie, yet also a normie who is so psycho to have had been doing pushups every day for 261 days and also feeling plateaus that are likely somewhat age-based too.. even though I see several younger and seemingly athletic guys participating in this thread but not ready, willing and/or able to continue to do daily pushups.

Do you ever do any diamond hand pushups? I heard those really pump the price. Wink

I don't really like them. They are too hard.. I suppose that is why they are called diamonds, but also since "diamonds are a girl's best friend," there's gotta be some relationship to price.

Quote from: DirtyKeyboard on Today at 07:46:21 AM

I'm stuck on this pushups sets every minute on the minute. Today was 20, then 8x10 sets.

I know that I had personally suggested that every once in a while you might want to try for quantity over quality and see how that works out for you and if you are able to get into the 30, 40, 50 or higher territory for quantity.. maybe once a week or something to include a quantity over quality day just to see how it goes in terms of shooting for those higher number of pushups per set.

By the way, the more I think about it, those pushup naysaying guys (pushup thread haters) proclaiming doing pushups is easy, blah blah blah, we have so many examples of guys who are not able to even do pushups for a whole 30 days in a row without giving up or some excuse coming up. it is not easy to actually do the pushups every single day, and yeah sure we cheat and misstate our results, yet when push comes to shove, are we doing the pushups or not... We know whether we are doing them or not, and yeah, results and/or consequences are going to vary... similar to our figuring out how to accumulate BTC and whether we do it or not is not going to be known, yet when push comes to shove, years down the road, we either have the BTC that we thought we were purchasing or we don't.

When it comes to pushups I think that the faster the better because it accelerates your heartbeats more and it's gives you more energy and thrills.

Surely there are trade-offs between fast and slow, and fast does have a higher likelihood to trigger cardio.. yet also slow has ways to trigger better form and also just the kind of muscle growth that relates to the building of overall muscle strength.

I am not proclaiming that both cardio and muscle strength might not be achieved with either slow or fast, yet each of them emphasize the development of slightly different things.

Quote from: Kelward on Today at 08:11:46 AM

Although slow is also good, it makes you to be more concentrated and it can sustain your endurance to absorb pains, I think that it's more difficult.

For sure, slow is more difficult too... I mean doing 2-3 or even 4 second pushups might cause a guy to only be able to do 1/2 or even 1/3 the quantity of pushups if he were to do 1 second pushups or even faster than 1 second pushups. Form might also become really sloppy if the pushups are really fast.. such as half a second per pushup.

Quote from: Kelward on Today at 08:11:46 AM

I'm in between this two because I push fast but stays quite a long time before getting into another set. I get dizzy if I rush into another set without taking the rest. Pushers should just find the method that suits their body so that they can enjoy the experience.

We could choose to do fast and slow within the same set too.. for example, maybe do 20 pushups fast, and then slow down and start to go really slow for the last 5-10 pushups.

This energetic thread has been a blessing to me, it has given me a motivation to exercise my body which is very important for my physical and mental well being. I look forward to seeing Bitcoin price to skyrocket to $100k and beyond, I know that it'll happen, it's only a matter of time.

Keep doing pushups and for sure our chances of going to $100k increase.. it is a kind of subliminal energy force that forces the hands of king daddy... which surely power meets power. hahahahaha

Quote from: philipma1957 on Today at 01:21:24 PM

my personal goal is to do 100 a day by my birthday in late Jan 2025.

You sound like such a bear.

Cheesy

From my reading, you are suggesting that the Bitcoin price is going to wait until late January before reaching $100k.

Angry

You better not ruin our luck, yet on the optimistic side of this, since historically you have tended to serve as such a reverse indicator, I am pretty sure that dee cornz is not going to be meaningfully affected by the pace that yoiu have chosen to work towards 100 pushups in a day.

So as planned, my trainer suggested me to take it real slow. I was giving a try and only four halfish push up was hard enough for me that I could not go for another one LOL. I will count it 4.

I started officially.

For the record; No, this push up was not intent to push the price of BTC but to celebrate the waiting time. I will continue it until we have the biggest day.

I personally have previously recommended that pushups of less than 10 per day should not go in the pushup table... yet I am pretty sure DirtyKeyboard's script has not been programed in that direction.

Hopefully in the future you can get your pushups up to at least 10 per day? such as 3-4 sets of 3-4 pushups per set. .. otherwise it might not be easy to take you seriously... at least from my perspective.. I might start to refer to you as vapourware... hahahahaha. .in order to attempt to shame you into doing more pushups.. and also including that you are surely able to do modified pushups in order to increase your pushup quantity, which I think should be between 8-12 pushups per set in order to help you in the quantity section.. instead of considering yourself as a power lifter.. which seems problematic.. and not quite even the idea of pushups.. the spirit of pushups even though at least if you have the spirit of bitcoin and you are not trying to shitcoin us, then that would be the other angle that we might want to consider.

And, after I criticized.. I will still say welcome to participation in this pushups for $100k bitcoin phenomena that is not ONLY happening in this thread or this forum but in other parts of bitcoinlandia, too. In its own way, it is almost like the icebucket challenge.

By the way that you mentioned that you will continue until the BIGGEST day? ARE you referring to $100k? or perhaps beyond $100k or some other number? One thing is suggesting some kind of a non-specified price, but then the other thing is the time that it could take to get there. so there might need to be restrictions one way or another, and it seems that some earlier participants in this thread might have petered out somewhat since they might have been tentatively thinking that BTC prices ONLY go up, which is a pretty lame presumption, even though a lot of people get into bitcoin (and even into shitcoins) with those kinds of built in presumptions. So committing to do pushups and even committing to do pushups within a certain time frame or until a certain price might be something that is more in your control as compared with really figuring out either BTC price direction or even how long it might take to get there.. in this case $100k and above.

10 Pushups a day seems very difficult for me at this moment. I was able to take it to 5 today, again not perfectly. Somehow managed to finish the fifth pushups. I remember before when I was young and was not overweighed, I could do 30 to 35 or more but that's over 12 to 15 years ago. I was never a man of fitness. Always a lazy homesick.

Yes, I was referring to $100K. $100K is important for us to imagine Bitcoin to catch up $120K or $150K. It was difficult even to think of a $10K when Bitcoin was not $1k.

$100K, BitcoinGirl.Club, 2, 9, 2024-10-22

Fair enough. I largely said my piece, and even if you are quite out of shape, there are modified pushups too.. Either do them from your knees or do them at an incline (or on the stairs as Philip has been doing).

Of course, in the end, each of us has to find our level, and surely if you are able to continue on a daily basis for quite a long time, or unti BTC prices reach $100k (without injuring yourself), then you are likely to experience improvements, even if you might also suffer some soreness and overall tiredness along the way while your body is getting used to the added activity... and I am not even suggesting that any of us are going to become spring chickens or to become all powerful from doing daily pushups since sometimes we might even have to sacrifice some other kinds of activities just so we are going to be able to actually carry out pushups, just like when we are choosing to prioritize the ongoing purchase of bitcoin, sometimes we might have to trade off to buy bitcoin from other things that we would have had otherwise purchased, in order to buy bitcoin on a regular basis.

I don't think many people in here are putting their chest to the floor. I try to go a bit lower than 90 degrees, so touching your [far hear] is that fore head?, to the stair sounds like a good range of movement. Let's go!

I touch my nose to the ground when I do them instead of my forehead. Simultaneously tapping my chest and little nasty on the ground as well. Then I try to fully extend my arms, but when I’m doing high repetition sets I may be guilty of not fully extending my arms. It is much easier after this long in the competition to control your form.

For sure, daily repetition of anything gives a greater alertness to it, including that whether we perform fast or slow pushups or even combine them, we are more likely to learn our limitations when we are doing them daily...and even to get some senses of areas in which we might be improving or maybe we also could end up in periods of feeling stagnation, too.
