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:




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.


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.


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.


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.


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.


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.


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.


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


You sound like such a bear.

 

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

 

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.


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.


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.
