We are getting a bit off-topic from the subject of Bitcoin, but I'm still trying to figure out what to do to strengthen my lower body. What do you suggest?

Well, the thread we are criticising has not much to do with the price of bitcoin either, other than the hallucination that doing push-ups might impact the price at all.

The best exercise is squats, which is called the king of exercises for a reason. Read what I wrote in my parody thread about that exercise. There are a thousand videos on Youtube to train legs at home, and when you get over the stiffness from doing squats you can do variations of squats or add more exercises, such as lunges, for example.

The problem seems to be on your side and not mine. Can you point me to the post where I said that you said they should be done in a row? You keep saying that doing 100 push-ups a day isn't good or unhealthy or whatever, and you suggested that one should do 100 push-ups in 3 or 4 days in a week, so in response, I asked you what if someone is doing them in different sets in a day instead of taking days off? Which will make it pretty easy for them if they exercise regularly. Now, if you don't have a reading comprehension problem, you should be able to understand what I just said and what I said earlier.

You at least seem like a guy you can debate with. Let's see if we understand each other. I'm not saying that you have to do 100 push ups divided into 3 or 4 days, which if there were 4 would be 25 a day. I'm saying that if you are able to do 100, do 100 every day for a maximum of 4 days, do you understand me now?

Besides, if you are already able to do 100 a day, the best thing you can do is to increase the intensity and then rest, which is how you have to do things if you want to get strong.

In my parody thread, I also explained what you can do if you want to get strong if you are already able to do 100 push-ups instead of spending many months doing (supposedly) the same thing every day:

Well, let's say you've just done your 4 sets of 25 for today. Do you feel satisfied? Yes? Well, congratulations because you've just finished your warm-up, now the real training begins.

Next you have to do 5 sets of decline push-ups, with your feet on a stool, chair or whatever, to failure. Between training and descending I want you to spend 2 minutes per set, so that this exercise takes you 10 minutes. Then 5 one-handed push-ups to failure. You won't be able to do this normally, you probably couldn't even do 1. What you have to do is to do the push-ups with your knees on the floor. Also 2 minutes to do each set with both hands plus the rest time. Then push-ups with closed hands, so that you will work more on your shoulders and triceps. If you can't do this normally, with your knees on the floor, also 5 sets of 2 minutes each including rest. To finish, 3 sets of isometric push-ups at 30 seconds if you can.

This will stimulate your muscles enough to make them grow, and tomorrow you'll have stiffness that you won't even think of doing push ups.

With the programme I have proposed, you don't do push-ups again until next Tuesday, so you have plenty of time to let the muscles rest and grow.
