Start push-up challenge:
Although I have not done it before, it will be very beneficial for me to do it regularly. That is why I have started it and will do it continuously. I am doing 2-3 sets but I cannot do too much. I am trying to do as much as I can according to my body weight. How are you all doing, it is good to see that many of you are doing a lot more push-ups.

Welcome to the pushups thread and pushups. I think that many of us started out with small amounts of daily pushups and worked our way up to larger amounts of daily pushups.
They still hurt for me after 573 days of doing them, yet there are still several ways that I can measure my improvements, and I think that my muscle mass is probably improving.. for sure my strength and abilities to do pushups has improved quite a bit over the past year and a half.
It is pretty well known that as we get passed a certain age (perhaps mid-40s and perhaps older for some) it becomes more and more difficult to actually add muscle mass..
So there still can be some advantages in doing pushups for guys starting to get into their elder years (and maybe even better than cardio in some ways) in order to prevent the loss of muscle mass.. which can likely help with the performance of quite a few daily activities whether being able to be somewhat self-sufficient and/or just to not be too dependent on others in certain areas..
