Being consistent in this energetic pushup challenge is the most important thing, even if you can't compete with our top guys that have the energy and time to be very active. It's said that if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, the most important thing is that you're moving and not left behind. I try to do 100 pushups in a day when I have the chance to do it and it can take me hours to complete because I get very dizzy if I try to achieve it in a short time. I can't compete with everybody's stamina here and that doesn't mean that I have to give up, so consistency is what's important, it's not like we're competing for Mr. Macho .

Exactly.  My understanding is that the pushup results of any member who is included in the second table will be moved into the first table if they submit a new pushup report that either does not have a date (which would be presumed to be on the date of that it was posted) or has a date that is 30 days old or less (hahahaha.. and DirtyKeyboard's proclamation that the activity status window timeline could change in the future.. trying to keep all of us on our pushup report submission toes).


I had to do a quickie look at my "Look and Layout preferences" within my profile, and the answer for me is: "No way, Jose."



Ok.  Fair enough.  If OgNasty does not respond to you in a reasonable time, it may be a good idea to either send the request via DM or just send a DM to him to inform him of your post in this thread. 


Volunteering in pushups and/or posting pushup results in a thread like this is surely voluntary, and frequently with any activity, there can be hype periods that are not easy to sustain.. and sometimes if we try to hard to get participation then members might not want to do it because of the receipt of such pressures.. so there is a certain level of need that the motivation to participate comes from within..... Like a lead by example kind of model.. and it seems that DirtyKeyboard's script with the daily update of the pushup table is helpful to a lot of us who are continuing to participate in the doing of the pushups and posting results in this thread.. It is not easy to continue to do pushups on a regular basis and/or even submit such pushup reports here, whether daily or otherwise.


I recall around 13 years ago, I was participating in a kind of physical therapy group that included some cardio training, resistance training and nutrition education sessions that lasted around 1 month..  The physical therapy was like 3 days per week, and one of the guys in the group, who was around my same size but he was about 10 years older than me, he was asking about the benefits of pushups, so then each of us did a set of 10 or 15 pushups, and I thought that the pushups hurt so much, so I did not really want to incorporate them into my then exercise routine, yet the guy finished his pushups and he was stating how excited he was to be able to incorporate pushups into his exercise routine.  So after that I kept thinking how much I hated doing pushups and how hard doing pushups was to do, and so since then frequently I would gravitate towards other kinds of exercises (whether resistance training like weights or cardio), instead of pushups.

So this year when several of us started this pushup challenge, I was still thinking about how much I hated (or I was afraid of doing) pushups, and so in the beginning of this challenge, I was thinking that I had not really done any pushups in the past 13 years, so I was thinking that maybe I would not be able to do pushups..and so in some sense, I was inspired to want to do pushups and to get over my 13 year reluctance (and perhaps fear?), and so I was surprised regarding my own ability to do pushups, and so my first day of this challenge, I did three sets of 20, 15 and 15.    The second day I did 25, 25 and 20.  The third day I did only 2 sessions (scheduling issues) of 30 and 20.  The fourth day I did 34, 30 and 26.  From the fifth day and thereafter, I started doing 4 pushup sets per day with that 5th day being 34, 26, 25, 15..  and so continuing to do pushups and little by little increasing the number of sets and the quantity of pushups per set.

And, yes, in those earliest of days, I had a lot of pain all over my body (some local pains that were specifically in pushup muscles/joints, some pains in other parts of my body, some overall loss of energy from the drain coming from the extra daily exertions).  In more recent times, I continue to have pain, yet that pain seems to be way less pervasive than it was previously, yet I still continue to have pain and frequently don't want to do my daily pushup sets, but I make myself do them, and sometimes when I read this thread or post in this thread, I get inspired to do a set of pushups.. and sometimes when I start out doing the pushups for the set, I find that the pushups are not as difficult as what I am imagining them to be, even though they still tend to hurt and they still are hard to get inspired to do, but I can still do a set of 30-60 pushups fairly easily.. I mean, I can do a set of 30 pushups slowly and nearly guaranteed to be able to do them in fairly good and slow form.. and even though I frequently have to do the higher rep sets more quickly, I still find myself to be able to slow down in my speed and to focus on my form, even with some of the higher repetition sets of pushups that I do.


Welcome to the pushups challenge libert19. 

You only want to count 100 pushups for your first day, even though you are saying that you did 103 pushups?

I am not sure whether DailyKeyboard's script will pick up your pushup report when it is inside of code brackets.. but hey, what do I know?  Let's see if it get's included in today's table.


For me, I think that the last month and a half or so, I have been shooting for at least 50 per set and 5 sets per day... and so I am considering that to be a maintenance so that I can increase the number of sets and perhaps be able to do the 1,000 pushups in a day challenge.. around the time that BTC prices reach $100k - that is if I still want to try to do that or if I might give up upon that particular idea... I did have a few higher set days to be able to see whether I might be able to do more sets in a day, perhaps more than 20 sets in a day, and I had a few days that in training I was able to get up to 15 sets in a day. .which seems to wear me out quite a bit for that day and for the next day.

At first I thought that the most pushups that I would want to or be able to do in a day would be in the ballpark of 500, yet after I did a few training sessions, I did see that 1,000 in a day could be in reach for me, yet I probably would need to spread my sets out about every 30-40 minutes and just do them all day long until I get to 20-ish sets or maybe more and/or get to 1,000 pushups within a day (or within 24 hours.. but most likely I am thinking that the way that I have been doing it, I would be able to accomplish 20-25 sets within 16 hours between the first set and the last set of the day...so that is averaging between 40-50 pushups per set and then to see how I am feeling by the time I cross over 1,000 and figure out if I want to do any more sets for that day or not.. That is if we get to such a day of my attempting such a bonus challenge (that might even be outside of the scope of what we are trying to do in this thread).

Okay! not bad actually...
A new pushup entry will always have a recent date of now though unless the poster chooses to use the previous date, counting from past to present is also allowed but using a future date won't  be taken, I think he implemented  that too recently before the two tables update. Thus, a new  pushup entry with current date will automatically get bumped  to the new table but will his code also accept no date?? I thought it would be omitted by default or maybe he added that in his recent change(not sure about that).
I once used that but kinda feel weird  :Psince i wasn't used to it so I changed it back to my previous preference.

Thank you for the idea. I also thought that if he doesn't see it because he's busy with his other side, he needs to send a short DM to let him know about it. I will wait another day to see if he says anything about this here, if he doesn't then I will try to DM him.

Personally talked to u about this from my opening, anyway from here everyone will come according to their own will and those who like it and don't like it is their personal matter.

But the fact that some of you are managing it together is truly commendable. No one takes such an initiative on his own. Seeing such a rule in the forum increases the love for the forum. OgNasty, JayJuanGee, DirtyKeyboard are the three guys handling it beautifully. Thank u very much for doing such a beautiful work.

My new report: 1st/2nd/3rd=21x3=63  [100k,Wonder Work,9,480,2024-09-17]

Ah shoot, I forgot to add my entries here.

100k,NotATether,10,750,2024-09-16


No, but last night I almost did 50 in one set (47, to be specific)

I'm not sure if the scraper will scan multiple entries in the same post so I will add last night's below...

That's far more than the average male can do and it takes quite some stamina to stay on track with those numbers, well done! 1,000 is obviously at least twice as impressive as 500 (probably a little more as it is a question of endurance as well) and thinking about the fact that that would sum up to 365,000 push-ups a year, I am sure people to understand how that would set someone apart from those doing nothing for their bodies.

And to provide you with some motivational insights to ensure that you keep going and don't give up when BTC reaches $100k, hopefully not seducing you into drinking Piña Colada instead of doing push-ups all day long, here is an excerpt from a research study:

^SOURCE

Hope that's more tempting than spending BTC millions on being served Piña Colada while lying in a Hammock in the Caribbeans!   (side note: I believe to know you are not that kind of guy anyway )

It might not actually be a paid challenge, but there is no denying of the fact that the benefits from it is far more beneficial to our health. After all health is wealth. If we see this challenge as something that's benefitting us primarily, then we will always dedicte time to it, even if it's 10 minutes a day out of the 24 hrs we have in a day.

Thanks for your concern about my dizziness, it has been a concern for me because I always wonder if it's a sign of something more serious. About 10 years ago I used to be quite active in the gym and I never had any dizziness issues, I resumed rigorous exercise when I joined this energetic thread after more than 10 years. I spoke with my doctor friend on the phone about it yesterday and he advised me to increase carbohydrate foods in my meals. He said that I should let him know if I continue to feel the dizziness so I'm increasing my carb intake for now.

Here today is my fourth day I followed a method today that is I give my push up according to the current price of Bitcoin. Which is more than the previous day ie I had done thirty push ups in three sets on my third day before. But today I changed it and did 60 push ups in three sets of 20 push ups. It was very painful for me even though I vowed that I would reach this goal, my hands and body were shaking after completing the pushup. My body still feels tired and has body chills.

Here is the record of my fourth day push up challenge.

Yes that is the main reason many have sticks to the push up the health benefits is inevitable except those who claimed of participating without doing it that will not see that the challenge is really shaping the body and keeping participants healthy, for me I continue on this challenge despite not being able to report daily but ensured I do this challenge because of what I gained in health.

13 days report to be included in previous report which is 976.
