I am aware that in may and june I mentioned doing pushups for maybe 20 days and that i am not reporting them for the chart.
Hoping i can get past this half in and half out reporting method by july.
thanks 🙏 for being patient
For some strange reason, I recall you saying that you were going to start submitting your daily pushup reports right around June 1 or something like that.
But, hey, maybe my memory is not as good as it used to be.

That's right and it seems that there really needs to be a re-acclimatization because previously I was quite able to do around 150 push ups in 5 sets but after a few weeks of not doing it there seems to be a slight problem if it is too forced and it happened where when yesterday I tried to force 100 push ups in 4 sets x 20 reps in the end until now I still feel some sore parts including the biceps.
I tried to minimize it by compressing and giving pain relievers but the discomfort is still there even today.
I think it's my fault for trying to push myself after my muscles started to stiffen but it's already happened and today I even reduced my challenge again.
This kind of punishment might be a good alternative but of course it's possible if we feel better and I might do the same when some parts of my body start to return to normal.

There should be no reason to get dis-spirited merely based on a need to build back up, except sometimes we might get injured or we might have some kind of disease and/or aging that might not allow us to recover to back to where we were in our fitness and/or health in previous times.
I am quite surprised by my own strength and my ability to keep doing pushups for so much of a streak - yet my own fears about breaking the streak incentivizes me not to do it.. and I even know that I am largely just maintaining myself rather than really expanding, since there is really ONLY so much that any of us can do within our age, health and/or other limitations (recovery time, as Phil mentioned).
