It took me several months of preparation to do 1,330 in one day on December 8.   In preparation, I did long days and short days, and the long days were the more intense prep days to do more pushup sets in a day, so on the long days I would do anywhere between 8 sets and 15 sets rather than my then usual 5 sets.. My quantity of pushups on the long days tended to be between 430 and 790.  My goal was to work up to being able to do 20 or more sets in a day when I finally got to the challenge of the supra 1,000 pushups in a day.

Surely there are guys who could do more pushups in a day and more sets - especially if they spend some time building up to it.  I think that also an advantage that I had was that by the time I got to the challenge day, I had gotten accustomed towards doing split sets (just within the prior week) which allowed me to do 70-80 pushups per set rather than 50-70 pushups per set, so on my challenge day, I ended up doing 18 split sets, which was also over right around 16 hours.. so a long day of pushups. 

I am still inclined towards not wanting to try to do that long challenge anymore, absent some special reason or some special motivation.  The already experience is enough, but yeah you never know, since my pushups are not really deteriorating in recent times, and I have been continuing to keep up enough pushups and enough frequency of pushup sets that I probably could attempt to do it again if there were some kind of reason I considered to be worthy... and surely the challenge of doing something, and also bringing self-benefits truly can be a motivator too.


Sure.  I would prefer to chase the BTC price rather than the BTC price chasing my pushup number, yet many of us likely know that if we are doing quantities of pushups that are quite a bit larger than the 200-WMA (which currently is around $44k and going up around $30 per day).   So, once any of us get our pushups higher than the 200-WMA and we are also doing more pushups than the rate that the 200-WMA is moving up, then it seems that we are going to catch up to the BTC spot price.

I suppose that with my current more than 300 pushups per day, then I am quite likely to be able to chase the BTC spot price while we remain in a bull market, yet if the BTC price follows similar patterns as previously, then it will tend to come back down to the 200-WMA at some point in time, even though surely the BTC price could go on quite a rip in which it might take a while for my pushups to catch up.. which is fine with me...and yeah a bit of my preference... even though guys who are newer to BTC may well still be in their years of accumulating bitcoin, so many guys should be wanting the BTC price to stay lower so that they can accumulate more BTC... which yeah, we don't really have a choice, the BTC prices are being pushed up and demand for bitcoin seems quite high and ongoing in recent times.


That seems to be correct in terms of part of the theme of pushups in order to both desire the BTC price go up, while at the same time, showing our own dedication and commitment to both our health and to a form of proof of work that has the BTC price in mind.. to push it up and keep it up.


That was a typo with the comma in the wrong place, so yeah, I went back and fixed it.. .It was meant to read $91,530 for the low BTC price on that day.   


I am going to keep pushing and then continue to highlight on my own spreadsheet which days my pushups exceed the BTC price, and then just to monitor how my quantity of pushups compare with the BTC price, and sure like you said there are desires for the price to stay above my pushups, yet we cannot really know how well that is going to go.

There are some folks anticipating decently large BTC price corrections, and so I never really claim to know bitcoin's short-term direction, and I frequently suggest that any of us bitcoiners need to continue to prepare ourselves both financially and psychologically for BTC price moves in either direction.  In my experience in bitcoin, if we are ONLY preparing ourselves in one direction, then we are gambling and/or preparing for disappointment.  Another mistake that I believe an overwhelming number of people do is to overly prepare for down and underly prepare for up, which means that they are no coiners or low coiners who are not stacking sufficiently enough within their capacities.. so hopefully none of us are not making those kinds of bitcoin-related mistakes.


Usually, when I get interrupted, I end up with more pushups for the day and/or for the interrupted sets.  That might be partially how I ended up doing split sets.
