My ams and stomach are telling me "that's enough" and I'm listening, not thinking I should work through the "pain barrier". I'm definitely resting.
It is important to follow the instructions of the your body system before it will result to body breakdown which we are not wishing to happen to any Pusher here participating in this push-up challenge. Talking some rest is really important as long as exercise is concerned or in what ever we do in life, talking a rest gives the body more strength and also keeps the brain refresh and active also try and give your self much sleep which will help regain more strength when you come back to your exercise. When next your should try and the number of push-up your body can be able to carry them gradually your can increase your numbers of push-up set and reps.
Of course it's very necessary for us to have some rest on anything we are doing when we notice that our body system can not withstand it at that particular moment more especially in this push ups challenge, because doing that will really help us not to record any injury in this push ups challenge. However (slow and steady) always keep us moving in this challenge.
This body language is in three sentences..... 1. Stop for a moment and continue later. ... 2... Stop for the day and continue tommorow. .... 3. Stop for some while and continue some days or time to come.... All of which defines rest in different manners... Rest is necessary...
There can be intermediate kinds of messages (body language) too, since if there might be some priority that some of us might have to try to engage in pushups
every day, there could be reasons that some of us might have to still do pushups every day but to either cut down on the quantity of pushups or maybe to modify the pushups in such a way that they are less difficult for us to do... which also might be described as adjusting the number of pushup sets in a day and/or adjusting the number of pushups per set...
So, for example, if a guy (pusher) might have increased his pushup difficulty by going from doing 3 pushup sets per day and up to 5 pushup sets per day and maybe he also went from doing 20 pushups per set to trying to do 40 pushups per set, he might have had realized that he had gone too far too quickly, so therefore, he might decide to either cut back on the quantity of pushups per set and/or to cut back on the number of pushup sets.
He might not even need to go back to his earlier pushup levels to realize that he might have had been increasing his quantity of pushups per set or his number of sets per day too much for his own abilities and/or recovery time, and speaking of recovery time, he might realize that if he spreads his push up sets out during the day more, then he might be able to do more pushups rather than if he might have had been trying to do his pushup sets in a shorter period of time that was causing too much stress upon him.. So, there can be varying ways of considering how much we do, our recovery time between pushup sets and even how we are doing our pushups since we could also do pushups fast or slow which might affect the quantity of pushups that we are able to do or how difficult it might be to attempt to reach certain quantities of pushups. We also might consider how much we are pushing ourselves to failure during each of our pushup sets. That's another way to adjust rather than completely stopping (or pausing) in our potentially daily pushups.
...... Actually my big toe. I took a misstep on the stairs that I use to exercise and bent my big toe bigly. Ligament tear/sprain.
First: For some reason, I had presumed that you had twisted your ankle or something like that. I suppose I might not have had been reading as carefully as I should have had been, or maybe I was just reading into your comment, since so many times movement injuries involve twisting ankles rather than something like a toe injury.. unless you were barefooted when you injured it.
Second: I got a bit of a chuckle out of the idea of hurting a "big toe bigly," since by definition any injury of a "big" toe would be "bigly," especially as compared with the other toes on the same foot... hahahahaha.. surely you meant something else, but it was a bit of a laugh provoking way of characterizing your injury.
I have been slow to heal (a pleasure of being a 67 year old) also walking hinders the healing and almost every exercise I was doing is hard on the two.
I agree with you in regards to the likelihood that age hinders the healing process.... but I will quibble with you a little bit regarding your potentially choosing exercises that involved your foot (toe) and therefore, you might have chosen exercises that were less preferable since there may well be various kinds of upper body exercises that could be structured in a way that does not involve using your BIG toe.... or otherwise getting in the way of your big toe healing process.
Surely I am making a bit of an assumption that it is good to incorporate exercise into our daily routines, even though surely sometimes some of us are already active in various ways that we may well already get enough exercise through some of our activities, whether our activities includes good or sufficient kinds of exercise could be subject to debate and disagreement, which we have already seen some forum members even quibbling about either the benefits of resistance training, such as pushups... or even quibbling with the benefits of any purposeful exercises rather than just incorporating activities into our daily routines... which there is some validity to claims that historical ancestors might not have had purposefully engaged in exercises rather than activities that were around survival (such as hunting and/or gathering)... and surely we no longer live in caves, so there are some parts of our activities that have changed through our evolution, no matter how controversial might be our historical renditions of our evolution.
Ligament healing is mostly rest. Unless it is a complete tear and then just surgery with rest.
But I did find that the modified pushups do not strain the toe much.
I actually can do 20 at a clip now I will keep this up and eventually add the rest back to my posts and my routine.
Oh I said fuck it and am going to foot doctor this Monday . Just in case.
I am glad you found a place for pushups, and maybe you might consider drafting a pushup report so that your name could end up getting placed into our now famous pushup's table.
Regarding going to the doctor.. . I surely understand that sometimes our various ailments (or injuries) rise to a level that we need to visit something like a doctor... rather than self-medicating/treating, which might not seem to be going very well.
This one took me a while.

Someone's latest report didn't get picked up...but I gave it the table a little nudge.
"We" might not want to overly disclose
(or emphasize?) that nudgennenings may well be
the secret to robotic success.
