This topic really ended up making me curious and I went to investigate a little about the subject of push-ups. I don't do it, and I have no intention of doing it in the near future. But there was so much dilemma on the subject that I asked myself: is it really that bad to do 100 push-ups every day?

Just push-ups is kinda pointless, there are more muscle groups in your body. Add pull-ups, dips and crunches and you cover the basics of core strength. It's great for your body, and still has nothing to do with the price of Bitcoin.

Those of us participating in the pushup thread are doing pushups, talking about pushups and talking about the bitcoin price and how our actions are currently somewhat synchronized with bitcoin culture.

If we are doing any of those other kinds of exercises or talking about them then that may or may not be tolerated to discuss, at least not to pump that other bullshit, unless we might just be talking about that other stuff in passing and NOT trying to directly pump that crap in the thread, kind of like trying to talk about shitcoins in a bitcoin thread.. it does not fly too well unless it might be done in non-pumping kinds of ways.

Regarding the extent to which pushups might not be connected to the bitcoin price, well that's just like, uh, your opinion, man.

hahahahahahaha

Cheesy

I would add squats to that, but don't say it out loud lest the whiners will soon come and say that you are trolling, that you have no idea about fitness and that what you need to do is join the 100 push-ups a day challenge to experience how that can influence the price of bitcoin.

I would not classify the pushup thread advocates as whiners, but hey perhaps I might be biased in my assessment of myself and my companions, yet I see that you speak a wee bit of truth when you suggest that some of us might be inviting LoyceV and any other forum members over to join our efforts to support BTC culture and perhaps even the BTC price... and surely there are some aspects of daily pushup doing that may well help many forum members in their bitcoin journey, whereever they might be in such journey..

In other words, all bitcoiners welcome and we might even be willing to tolerate shitcoiners who are doing pushups and trying to concentrate on bitcoin prices - on the other hand if members might be pumping some other kinds of exercises and naysaying pushups, then those may well end up serving as fighting words.

Well, they forgot about the halving. Put one hand behind your back, then do your push-ups. I did that years ago, but it started hurting my elbow joints. It's kinda heavy.

Don't be unrealistic Loyce.. and the thread is not to create unrealistic expectations or to impose your values on other members, as long s there are attempts to focus on pushups and bitcoin, then there surely would be flexibility in terms of guys doing whatever form of pushup they like, but imposing your own values on others is not very inclusive, which I believe that there are some attempts at that.. and sure even myself, I have been trying to suggest that guys have to have at least 10 pushups per day (on the days that they are doing pushups) in order to be included in the pushups table, yet my opinion is not carrying the day so far on that, yet even with that, I am not proclaiming that they are not welcome to participate in the thread and try to work up to doing at least 10 pushups in a day.. .. I mean my own idea is that if a guy does not have some reasonable explanation for his inability to do pushups and/or he cannot even do 10 pushups in a day (even perhaps modified pushups), then he might not be really serious in his attempts to do pushups and participate in the pushup thread in a non-trolling kind of a way. No one likes to be made fun of, even guys doing pushups and fantasizing about BTC prices reaching $100k soonish.^tm

it's about reporting doing 100 pushups and you're the first liar who doesn't do them.

I am not a liar. I have done a minimum of 100 push-ups per day every day since 2/2/24. Be mad about it.

I’ll go ahead and ignore you now. I hope the lie about me not doing push-ups was worth forever losing my attention.

I would suggest that there really is no way for us to verify whether or not you are doing the pushups that you claim to do every day, yet there is no need for such verification, and largely it is acceptable to take the word of guys about their pushups, unless some things might not add up, then we can ask, to the extent that we might want some clarifications, yet largely just based on representations of other forum members.. including that I would suspect that an overwhelming majority of members participating in that thread are doing the pushups that they claim to be doing...

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?

To have something similar to pushups (meaning you don't need any special equipment and you can do it almost anywhere), then I would consider something like walking lunges to be a pretty good candidate. https://www.healthline.com/health/exercise-fitness/walking-lunges

Well, I wouldn't call it pointless, but adding more to it can be a plus and it totally depends on an individual's workout routine and how much they can manage. A person should know their body and how it reacts to certain exercises if they have been doing them regularly.

The argument here is not about not adding anything extra but OP is persistent that 100 push-ups a day is stupid which isn't. If you can, you should add more to it, if you can't, don't do it.

Of course the pushup thread is specifically about pushups and not about other exercises or physical fitness or how to prove yourself to be more manly than other forum members and blah blah blah.

Forum members can create whatever the fuck exercise thread they would like, but that would not be the topic of the pushup thread in which the participant of the pushup's thread happen to be mostly be attempting to stay focused on pushups with perhaps a bit of deviance here and there, but largely coming back to pushups if guys might end up deviating too much from the topic, then hopefully they might end up being reigned in or told that they are not on topic if they start to talk about all kinds of stuff (such as other exercises) that might not somehow at least attempted to be related to doing pushups and/or emphasizing the daily (perhaps daily?) doing of pushups.. ... and that might be part of the reason why doing pushups daily (or perhaps as frequently as you can?) is actually going to bring us to $100k BTC prices sooner than if we had not been doing such pushups on a persistent, consistent and ongoing basis.... . .

and yeah, I will admit that pushups tend to be a wee bit of a guy's kind of an exercise, yet we are not excluding chicks, even though they might not be as inclined to do that kind of an exercise.. or full pushups or might want to do some kind of a modified pushup or perhaps even propose a pushup substitute, yet so far (to date) no chicks have chimed in and said that they were going to do some other exercise as a pushup substitute.

Surely, with Phillipma1957, a couple of months ago, he initially was participating in the pushups' thread and saying that he could not do pushups due to some physical issues that he had, so he was substituting planks for pushups.. like 100 seconds of planking.. something like that, yet in recent times, maybe slightly more than 2 weeks^tm ago, he came back into the thread and he has been reporting the doing of modified pushups and stating that he would do modified pushups while work his way up to 100 pushups per day over the coming months... which seems to be his own attempt at tailoring pushups to attempt to fit with the theme and spirit of the thread, yet within his own ways of doing pushups in a way that he believes to be acceptable to his own physical and/or psychological abilities..

I speculate that it could be that maybe Philip might end up contributing enough pushups on the margins that in the whole scheme of things could end up causing the BTC price to reach $100k a wee bit sooner than it would have had reached $100k if he had not been doing the pushups, and then I will hope that you pushup naysayers, are going to apologize for your seemingly excessive hater kinds of negativity and denial of the power of pushups as it arguably relates to the bitcoin price and/or a forum member's willingness, steadfastness and ability to better stay more focused on bitcoin... and you might end up thanking the lord, and perhaps Phillip too that the pushups thread was able to stay in the forum's bitcoin speculation section rather than interfering with an already good thing... in the sense that if it ain't broke then why fix it?
