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
- whether you choose to do them every day or not. 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,
yetand there
are still several wayshave been plenty of times that I
can measure my improvements,did not want to do them and
/or that I
thinkthought that
I was getting pains in various parts of my
muscle mass is probably improving.. for sure my strength and abilitiesbody that did not even seem to
dobe directly connected with pushups
has improved quite a bit over the past year and a half., but what else could it be?At the same time, 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
on a regular basis (whether daily or not) 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..
