Yeh - had to have a couple of breaks after I'd caught a nasty dry cough, but I'm feeling much better and noticed my average is just on fourty pushups per day, so decided to aim a little higher from now on with at least two sets of twenty-five (hopefully three sets)
Push on!

I am glad to see that are seeming to get to higher levels of pushups.. and surely the can be difficult for some of us who are claiming to be elderly..

I won't say that they get easier to do, since any of us can experience various real life issues, injuries and ailments.. and perhaps even psychological barriers.. .even though ongoingly doing pushups also can help us to get over some of the barriers.. and even if doing the pushups do not completely get easier, having some what concrete goals can create incentives and inspiration... .. including sometimes when I block off some time to do the pushups or to carry them out within a shorter window.. sometimes they won't hurt as much since maybe the first one or two sets might hurt the worse as a kind of warm-up, and so some of the subsequent sets might get easier in terms of getting through some of the warm up aspects.

At the same time, I know that in my first 6-ish months of doing pushups, I had to ongoingly purposefully spread my pushup sets through the whole day just to feel that I had proper recovery time between sets.... .. Yet there was some time down the road (maybe around 7 months at one level and then 10 months at another level?) that I come to realize that I was becoming much more capable of cramming my sets into shorter periods of time without needing as much recovery between sets (as compared with my earlier times, so a certain level of concrete improvement that was not really noticeable on a shorter timeline yet became apparent after measuring out my performance improvements over so many months of somewhat subtle and gradual changes in the data..

I'm seeing noticeable (abet subtle) differences in my shoulders, upper arms and back which seems to be tighter. The "man boobs" (which were tiny to begin with) don't look as saggy anymore (and I'm not sure if I'm kidding myself or not, but it looks like I'm *SLOWLY* getting a toned stomach - the proverbial wash board/six pack) - having said that, as soon as I sit down I once again look as though I have a blubber guts, so I've got a long way to go.

My weight has stayed within a tight two plus/minus range for the last three or four years, so I can't say doing pushups is doing anything for my weight, but I feel good in having done them. Not regularly, but as often as I am able to.

Yesterday and today I've managed two sets of twenty-five pushups each day with three sets (of twenty-five) two days earlier. (175)

100k,Timelord2067,301,11966,2025-08-27 - not quite fourty pushups per day, but I've now clocked up 300 days of pushups!

Friday and today: Two sets for twenty-five each day (100).
