As you know, at your current rate, if you would like to get to 10k pushups, then you may well need something approaching 1,000 days to get to such level.. maybe you are shooting to get to 12,345 pushups? which may well take you something in the ballpark of 1,234.5 days to arrive at that level... Your desire to reach a straight sooner might motivate you to increase your quantity of pushups per day. Perhaps?

I am a very young member among you. I cannot do very many push-ups. But from today onwards I will do 20 push-ups every day and will try to reach 100 by doing it consistently. Everyone please pray for me so that I can do 100 push-ups every day like you.

Some people that are doing 100 push-ups in this push-up thread couldn't even do up to 30 push-ups a day when they joined this push-up challenge, but their consistency and dedication towards this push-up challenge paved the way for them, and they were able to do 100 push-ups in this push-up challenge. Our prayers won't help you do 100 push-ups a day if you don't have the strength to achieve it. If you can't do 100 push-ups a day, you have to do the little one you can be able to do, but if you are consistent in doing push-ups, there's a big chance you will achieve 100 push-ups.

In the first several weeks after I started doing pushups, I worked my way up to 100 pushups per day, and I was quite sore to maintain that and then to continue to add to my number of pushups per day, and surely as I increased my pushups the soreness continued exist and even to sometimes come up in differing areas of the body. it seems that with the passage through 545 days of pushups, the level of soreness probably got better, even though I still tend to be sore - especially when I am doing the pushups, but yeah maybe not as sore between sets - even though from time to time I might have some area that becomes sore like shoulders or maybe one my hands or my feet. I think that I would be even more sore if I were to stop doing pushups for a few days and then try to come back to it at a later date. So, for me, there seems to be some desires to continue to do pushups merely for the ability to maintain the ability to continue to do pushups, like a kind of survivor perspective. Many of us might recognize that we might lose some of our abilities to be able to do certain kinds of activities if we were to take breaks from such activities.

Surely there are guys that will take longer to get to 100 per day, and they just deal with what they want to do. I think that part of my own motivation came from my having had wanted to find some kind of resistance training that I could do anywhere and on my own schedule.. it has mostly been good for me, even though sometimes it does just seem to be so demanding to have to fit the pushups in every day.. and in recent months, mostly since the end of February, trying to accomplish the fitting in of 3 sets of pushups every day, which tends to add up to more than 100 pushups per day.. mostly.. oh in the last month, I have added in one of my sets to be a split set.. at least for now.. 1 split set, one slow set and one regular set..

been struggling with the asthma.
on one day I did 100 in four sets.

today i did a set of 33 will do more today.
fucking hate asthma it truly sucks.

i will do an informal list then tally it up.🆙

added 35 more

I am thinking that you might be doing too many pushups per set.. .so it is causing you more stress than you need to get to 100 pushups per day.

You might consider doing 5 sets of 20 or alternatively if you want to try to keep it to 3 sets, then do two split sets of 20 and do one regular set of 20 or perhaps more than 20..

you could do the first set as a split set, and then the second set as a regular set and then the third set as a split set... and then you spread them out through the day.. perhaps less stress that way. Yeah, if you are doing other activities too, then sometimes you fit the pushups around the other activities.. I have been doing that with my swimming.. so usually I will do a pushup set before I swim, and I don't swim every day, but when I do, then I might do the pushup set first (and get it out of the way).. there are certain times that I don't want to do pushups, such as after I eat or even after some other activity, whether that other activity was full of exertion or not... There have been some times that it really gets late and I had not yet finished all of my pushup sets, yet I know that if I don't do them before I go to bed, then I will get punished (by myself) on the next day. There surely can be ways to attempt to create self-incentives - because it frequently can be difficult to do the pushups and parts are tending to hurt... and sometimes there can be overall body tiredness too, like not good enough sleep.. .which surely is important to get proper sleep.

It's funny how we pray for every single thing, even what simple practice can help you achieve. Everyone has a first date and I still know vividly that greater percentage of the people here all started off their pushups exercise with less figures believing to improve later. I have checked through this thread from my early days here and I discovered that almost everyone started far below 100 pushups except people like @JJG who even started his pushups a day before the creation of this thread with a whooping sum of 170 pushups in about 3 sets .

You are a wee bit off Tonimez. If you see my actual words, you will see:

Regarding pushups, I started on February 5th..

and so daily I did pushups: 1) 50 2) 70 and 3) 50 so far = total = 170

That was not 3 pushup sets that was three days worth of pushups with 3 sets on the first two days and two sets the third day. Here are my Excel inputs regarding my sets for those first three days

Day 1: 16:25   20      17:07   15         19:20   15

Day 2: 10:11   25      13:17   25         22:42   20

Day 3: 10:33   30      17:24   20

The number of pushups per set are not very large. I also started a day before this particular thread because pushups were being discussed in the WO thread, and they were being discussed in various other bitcoin-related places, and it may have had been OgNasty who first brought it up in the WO thread.. I am not sure..

Since you seem to be into researching into historical posts, Tonimez, here is my February 5 post on the topic in the WO thread.

So you have to start and try to be consistent. One day you would be surprised on the number of pushups you can achieve in a day. What you need to improve your pushups is Strength that comes with consistency, not prayers.

I do agree with you that pushups require action rather than just thinking about doing them.
