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, and there have been plenty of times that I did not want to do them and/or that I thought that I was getting pains in various parts of my body that did not even seem to be directly connected with pushups, 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..
Sir i totally understand and agree with the points that you have just stated above because it is very understandable when one talks out of experience, because i believe so much that you have been into different kinds of exercises not only push-ups, so as long as you keep doing those exercises you will surely feel the body reaction in each exercise you embark on, I'm equally an eyes witness because ever since i reach 200 as my number push-ups i really felt some reactions compared when i was still coming up, so it is always advisable to do push-ups exercise gradually by gradually as you can and never be in a hurry to rush in number that knock your out from doing push-ups for some days, so sir i really appreciate the peace of information and advise that you have stated out not only for the new member that has newly joined the push-ups thread eaully to others members that is in this push-ups thread i will surely pickup one or two that can help him in one way or another.
I added 200 push-ups by 20 in 10 sets.
