You do whatever you feel comfortable doing, and surely I recognize and appreciate that there is a bit of comfort to have a time and place that we do our pushups, yet you can imagine that many of us have had to adapt our times and places for doing pushups, especially if we might have some variance in our routine, especially over the past 9-ish months...

One of the great things about pushups is that we should be able to do them almost anywhere and almost at any time, yet I can relate that sometimes there is a psyching up component to doing them.. and I am not even going to say to change what you are doing, since your merely doing the pushups for 5 days so far has brought you to a higher level than those guys who never started doing pushups at all.

Another thing that sometimes we might need to do in the beginning of getting ourselves to do pushups is to perhaps figure out a way to make our doing pushups really easy, whether it is figuring out a way to do modified sets or even figure out the number of pushups into the set as a way to make the sets more doable.... yet I still think that the bare minimum targets should be for guys to try to get to 3 sets of 8-12 pushups... each and every day.... and even though DirtyKeyboard's script is allowing for less than 10 pushups per day to show in the pushups table, I would prefer that if the average of at least 10 pushups per day would be the threshold level to even be included in the pushups table... but yeah, at least you BitcoinGirl.Club are continuing to work your way up to getting in pushups and perhaps your average is going to end up getting up to 10 pushups per day.. ..

If we have goals to do more pushups and even get into the spirit of daily bitcoin pushups to inspire the BTC price.. then it seems that little by little is still likely better than nothing.. .. almost like crossing into a status of no longer being a no coiner.. some skin in the game.

I am already doing 10 per day. 4-3-3 to finish. In each rep the last ones are harder, extremely painful to finish, body and mind does everything to give up but I know that's the pain I need to take to improve myself confidence. I never thought to count and be able to write 49 pushups in just 6 days. For some it's something to laugh with but for me this is already big. I don't want to get to excited but I feel motivated to continue it and even some day I might be able to do daily 100 or more.

It is difficult to argue with you, especially if you are both doing more than what you used to do and you are also proclaiming to be slowly increasing the amounts, and surely there sometimes can be worries that if you are not able to do at least 8 pushups in a set, then maybe you might injure yourself or not getting enough reps in order to actually improve yourself, but if you are actually stating that you are having positive results, then that likely is about as good of evidence that any of us should expect when guys are able to tailor the exercise to their own situation.... so maybe some day, in a month or so, you will be able to make it up to 3 sets of 8, yet at least you got up to the 10 pushups per day.. which also seems to be a plus.

Part of the reason that I mention 8 reps is also that you do not have to do full and regular pushups, but in stead you can do modified pushups from the wall, or have your hands at higher elevation than your feet or from the stairs like Phillipma1957 seems to be doing.. or you can do the pushups from your knees instead of from your toes... so there are ways to make the pushups easier so that you can get 8 reps and then work on three sets of 8 for a while as you little by little make the pushups more difficult or perhaps get in more reps with the modified pushups before making them more difficult.

There is a certain value in regards to having the reps rather than having the pushups so difficult that you are ONLY currently able to get 3 or 4 pushups out of any given set. So low of reps could be putting too many strains on your body parts and perhaps even on your heart... but yeah, each of us is responsible for ourselves including if we might end up injuring ourselves and/or contributing to our own premature death. We have to exercise judgement in regards to our own strains.. and some guys did proclaim that they injured themselves from pushups, such as their wrists and perhaps some other body parts because of the ways that they had chosen to do their pushups.

2 days I'm not here because honestly I'm still not as strong as it seems because my body really feels pain so I try to relax the muscles first by not doing push ups so that my body is not too difficult to move Cheesy

Stretches can sometimes help, which seemed to be helpful for me when I was having my right shoulder blade (scapula) pains.

But today I did push ups again and there was a slight increase after previously I was only able to maximize 60 but for today I slightly increased my push ups to 75 even though this is still not to the target of 100 but this makes me feel that I think I can because there is indeed an impact that is felt when the body does not feel pain my push ups for today are a little lighter than the first day even though it is only strong to add 15 only.
Day 6 for push ups (day 8 is here)

You wrote your report incorrectly, and you should have put your total number of days as 8, and then your total number of pushups as 355.. so after your username, your pushup report should have had said 8,355, but instead you wrote 355,2024, which it seems to me that DirtyKeyboard's script is likely going to read that as 355 days and 2024 pushups.. which we know is not what you had wanted to communicate to that bot, but the bot is a bot and cannot read your mind. It can ONLY read what you put in the report.. yet.. no need to fear.. you could potentially still correct your pushups report within the next hour (before DirtyKeyboard's script runs) with the changes that I suggested, which largely is just adding an 8, prior to the 355.
