I hope you are not planning to retire from daily pushups?? I guess you have hit your goal ever since you hit the 100k pushups number. You initially dropped your pushups number and now you are hinting on quitting the thread. I wouldn't want to admit, even though you have the right to choose what you want, but you are a motivation to many and showing that you are giving up already won't encourage me in particular.I am hinting that the existence of this particular thread helps to keep me doing pushups every day for the past 498 days
I don't think that locking this thread will be to the general interest of all.
That is up to OgNasty and/or forum admins. Not me.
There are many of us, just like you've noted, that have this thread as our motivation to keeping it daily. I know that I have always engaged in pushups some years back, but ever since I joined this thread, my attitude to the Pushups exercises has completely changed.
Of course, it helps to have some commonality with other guys who might be actively participating, observing or even some guys on the bench who might end up returning and/or becoming more pushup active.
Having to report my daily pushups has become a dragging reason that keeps me on the floor even when the bench tastes good.
Sure. Your number of days are adding up for sure.
Having some people like you also in the thread and @OgNasty has also given me a goal to pursue. Having to keep to far above 400 days of daily pushups is not what everyone can easily do. But being in this thread has shown that it is possible.
For sure it is not easy, and you are half way there.
Even though we're 3 people left, let others remain on the bench while I get myself fit and good shape.
It is possible that the thread will remain active.

You just make me laugh so much when i come across this post that you hope jay-juangee is not planning to retire from daily push-ups, Jay-juangee found push-ups exercise quiet interesting that even when he didn't post his push-ups report in a particular day that doesn't me that day he didn't do his daily push-ups, he have passion in push-ups exercise that he can only rudus by number of push-ups than retiring and when i perus JayJuanGee post i saw were he said that he is getting to an age where his body is starting to have issues but he didn't talk about retirement It seems to me that resistance training (and/or weights) are very good for people as they age, and so having an ability to do resistance training (like pushups) seems to be good for me.
I think that historically, I have been guilty of similar kinds of gravitations towards cardio as other folks, and so I am glad to try to make pushups (and/or other resistance training) as one of my daily staples.. as long as I can continue to do it... so maybe there is some fortune that anyone has to be able to do certain kinds of strenuous exercises, and I was even told by some people that maybe I should not be doing pushups... and I don't tend to easily listen to others, especially when my opinion is different, even if they might have some "expertise" in the area of the discussion.

I tripped on stairs a year ago. I have nursed it on and off. I believe it is as healed as it will get and that I now have a bit of arthritis .So I have decided to do 4 sets of 25 every day it does not hurt.
I did 50 so far today. at tonimez I am not quite on the bench or for that matter on the bench.
You can deny being on the bench all that you like, yet your failure/refusal to submit actual officially formatted pushup reports has caused the DirtyKeyboard bot to non-discriminatorily place you on the bench.. whether you agree or not.
You know a "way out of this" seemingly predictament of a possible status "misunderstanding".

The past 2 weeks have been a bit tiring for me because I have a job and it requires me to travel, so the challenge was put on hold because it was really hard to avoid.
But today I restarted after 2 weeks of busyness and tried to do some warm up with jogging as usual followed by sit ups and of course the challenge that I left temporarily.
After 2 weeks of not doing it there were some parts of my body especially in my biceps that felt quite sore for a while after I did push ups for 5 sets x 20 reps. Although it didn't really interfere with my activities, there was a slight difference I felt in terms of body condition because it seemed like I had to start a new training again after I had previously stopped.

Yep. Exactamente!!!
Amazing how that works!!!!!
And, surely one of the reasons that I am trying to avoid, as much as I can to completely take a break, even though from time to time, I end up having some low number of pushup repetitions and also low number of pushup sets days.
By the way, I also have some tricks that I do in terms of making up for my missed pushups when it happens and even to punish myself and in essence it results in my doing way more pushups than I count.. and not getting credit for many of the punishment pushups that I end up having to do and not wanting to do that, but the punishment ends up being something to help to inspire me to try to stick with the "easy route" of doing my required daily pushups of at least three sets... Even though it sometimes can be difficult, it is not as difficult as the punishment that I sometimes end up having to dish out to myself for not doing the regular pushups within my schedule.
