An entire week without posting my report felt like something was missing although I kept pushing up, I had no time for my phone, Which has its advantages and disadvantages to cut it all up it was a very busy week practically my busiest week this whole year to be honest.
Am most happy that despite my busy week I didnt miss a day or evening push-up routine, here below is my 8days report summed up for easy addition to the board.

Yes, everyone must be busy, friend, because that's life, but we have to keep enjoying it. Apart from that, being able to do push ups in your busy schedule is certainly not an easy matter. Because for me personally, sometimes my focus is always distracted by other activities. But fortunately push ups have become a very mandatory thing in my daily agenda, for the last 3 years. So it feels like something is missing if you don't do push ups. Especially now that there is this push up challenge, my desire to continue doing push ups every day has become stronger. So this is my push up report to date

Currently I can do 280 repetitions of push ups per day. My goal this month is to be able to do 300 repetitions of push ups per day. Apart from that, I have suggestions for those of you who have quite busy times every day. Try doing this so that you can continue to do push ups effectively and not interfere with other activities.
Method
- Maximize the number of push up repetitions you can do in each set
- Don't rest too long between each set
- Then, if you want to get maximum results from the push ups you do and also want to save more time, don't divide your push up sets over a long period of time (for example, the first set is done in the morning, then the second set is done in the afternoon, and the third set is done at night). Because I have tried this method, it actually takes time and the muscles cannot rest optimally. Because of course if we want to do push ups, at least we have to warm up first. So just imagine, if we divide the push up sets into morning, afternoon and evening, we will automatically warm up at these three times. This clearly wastes time and also makes the muscles unable to rest optimally. So it's better to do push ups at one time and complete them every day. Because it will definitely save more time, and the results of the push ups will feel more optimal for our bodies. Because the muscles that are trained can really rest optimally.
So that's my advice.
I am going to continue to spread my pushups through the day, even though it is good to hear alternative theories and explanations why you consider your recommendation as preferable.
I find my own schedule a bit erratic, so there will be times in which my pushups are a bit more consistently able to be done (such as spaced 1-3 hours between sets), and then other times in which there will be greater than 3 hours between sets, and so yeah sometimes there could be 8-12 hours or more between sets, whether talking about overnight timeframes or even during the day when one or two sets might be done in the morning and then no real opportunity to do those sets during the day.
Personally, I find myself to not be in great enough shape to be doing a bunch of sets of pushups in a row, even though surely I am in better shape now than I was 5-ish months ago when we started this pushup challenge, so for me, I would be more able to do several sets of pushups in a row, if I were to want to, but I don't want to and I prefer to keep them spread out during the day.
Another upcoming change that I am expecting is that I will likely need to be increasing my pushup sets in order to prepare our going to $100k and my abilities to potentially try to do 500 or more pushups in a day, and in that regard, I get the sense that I have to build up to such at thing, so yeah, the last month and a half or so, I had been purposefully reducing my pushups (from way over 200 pushups per day to around below 150 pushups per day) in order to bring down my average pushups per day, yet it seems that in the past week or so, I have been working my way back up into the supra 200 pushups per day, and maybe I am doing this in a kind of anticipation to being in a place in which I will be able to challenge the day in which we reach $100k and so I will be able to do my 500+ pushups in a day and without overly killing myself in that day or maybe the series of days that I might work up to that... I did actually have more than 300 pushups yesterday, even though I only counted 265 for yesterday and I counted the others on another day (which was half the pushups that were counted for an earlier date.. but that is my own way of counting pushups, which may or may not be agreeable to other forum members.. but whatever, it works for me, and where I am at right at this time).
By the way, I was doing about a 45 minute or so walk yesterday, and when the sun is shining, I try to get some sun on my body, so I removed my shirt, and I was walking near one of my neighbors (a 94 year old man), and so I had not seen him for about a bit longer than a year, and he was just sitting out and perhaps getting some sun too.. and so I talked with him about 15-20 minutes or so.. just to catch up on a few things... and so then at one point in the conversation, he said, "you have gotten more muscular," and I told him that I was doing pushups in the past 5 months, and I told him how hard it was for me to do them, but I had improved over the past 5 months, since I started at a low number and worked my way up. He said something about it looks to have had paid off, so yeah, that was interesting to hear a comment (hopefully he wasn't trying to flirt with me) from a 94 year old about a perceptible improvement in my physique since the last time he saw me (presumptively with my shirt off in order to have accurate comparison points)... hahahahahaha
