I did the 100 push-ups this morning, and I must confess it was not easy to achieve because today is the first time I'm hitting 100 push-ups, but I have to accept the pain to complete the 100 push-ups. I used the strategy of 5 sets of 20 reps to achieve it, and I will stick with it because the strategy makes me achieve it fast. I will try my best to keep up doing the 100 push-ups a day to see how my body will look when bitcoin reaches $100k.
Brother I really understand what you are saying, but you need to understand that it's quite normal that at the beginning of everything in this life, their are always difficulties from the start, if you can maintain it day in day out, then I believe that your body will just get used to it at some point.
Yep.. it is quite likely that any of us who are still alive and a living organism will likely get stronger and be able to do more and more, as long as we do not injure ourselves and/or if we don't have other health conditions that cause us to not be able to exert ourselves in certain kinds of ways.. .. but I think that even a very frail person should be able to so the modified push up such as leaning against a wall or something like that, and maybe they can only do 5-10 in the beginning.. but they can work their way up.
I was really surprised by my own ability to get into this because it really hurts for me and I am still having a quite a few pains after 23 days of doing these push ups, but it is way better than the beginning, including that it took me 5 days to get up to 100 push ups in a day and then it took me 11 days before I was averaging 100 pushups per day.. and then now on day 23, I have done about half my push-ups for the day, and my average is right around 111 pushups per day. .so the total is 2,560 for the whole period, since I started.
There are several parts of my body that hurt less than previously, and mostly I feel stronger and even able to do some other kinds of exercises that I was not able to do in a long time... .. but at the same time, sometimes we might not know why one day is better than another, and there was one day that I drank a homemade smoothie with mostly nutritious ingredients, and it was about 2 hours prior to my exercise session, yet it really seemed to have had fucked up my energy level during that exercise session, and I decided that I was not going to do that again... and so sometimes we might not know for sure why we are feeling lack of energy and even excess pain, but we may well be able to work through it as long as we do not end up injuring ourselves.
And another thing is how balanced are you? If you have too much weight due to lack of exercise, you will definitely not be able to achieve the 100 pushups daily, so I suggest that if you really want to go all the way in the quest for 100 pushups daily till Bitcoin hit 100k, then you have to be going out for workout sometimes, so as to gain more balance when doing pushups.
Weight loss can take a real long time to achieve, but I suppose it depends on where you are at and which parts of your life you are able to change. .Of course what you eat, how much and when can make differences, and then how well you are sleeping and exercise.. and so exercise would likely not cause changes on its own, even though there are plenty of studies that show that building muscle mass does tend to contribute to our abilities to process foods more effectively, including helping with insulin resistance. which is a common problem for people who are getting older and/or who are gaining weight.

Thanks for the advice, mate. I'm very much aware that exercise comes with pain, which I accepted when I was still lifting weights. I know how to position myself to get my body ready and balanced to do push-ups. The reason for the pain is because I stopped exercising my body for a long time.
That is very true. There can be a lot of lingering pain from exercise, especially when we had not been doing it very regularly.. .. so we have to pace ourselves because we do not want to get discouraged due to feelings of excessive pain.. so we have to be able to distinguish between good pain and bad pain in order that we continue to make progress without overdoing it.
