Well give us some numbers then in order that we don't start to believe that you quit on us (and left us hanging).


Do you know about the statement:  "it's 5 o'clock somewhere?"  Similar idea.

I will admit that I have had a few sets that were "technically" beyond midnight, and I don't even enter them into my own table with an after midnight time.. .. I will generally put them somewhere in the range of "23:56 and 23:59" so they would not be distinguishable from other sets that I actually in facts squeezed in right before midnight.

So far, my after mid-night pushup sets have been within about 20  minutes of midnight... but even if I were to do it within a few hours of midnight, I might have to consider them as being within a "prior to sun-rise" kind of framework... so maybe my own personal rule would be that the dates must all fall prior to midnight even though some of the actual sets were performed prior to sunrise..   I probably could not live with myself if I were to count a pushup set that happened after sunrise as being in the prior date.

Otherwise, I try to be fairly accurate about my documented times because I tend to want to be able peruse my list to see if there might be some issue with recovery times (so time-intervals between sets) whether during the day or the intervals between the last set of the prior day and the first set of the next day..

That does not sound like very many push-ups for a competition - especially since I am an old fart, and I was able to get up to 55 pushups after 45 days of training...  and I surely do not consider myself to be competition material, when it comes to pushups..

Another thing is that maybe it would be good for you to describe if there were any rules for the pushups for the competition?  Did they tell you how fast to do them or how far up or down you needed to go with each one?  Did they tell you about a certain kind of posture that you needed to have.. such as keeping your body straight during the pushups?

We were never told how fast or far up or down but there where rules on how to go about it which is keeping the body straight and also doing it well, the competition was just for fun there were no intention for it not until we go there and it was announced.

On a norm exercises keeps the body fit and makes us stay healthy especially when we eat healthy foods because we shouldn't just eat because we are hungry instead we should eat foods with high level of nutritional value and eating good food after an exercise is surely a good way to stay healthy.

I do pushups in the past but at some point I just stopped because my shoulder muscles were getting too large and my chest broadening so I was really trying not to be too muscular. Though those days I use to be attracted to some girls because they like guys with muscles, they believe any guy with huge muscles got a lot of strength lol. I use some of those girls as a way of doing pushups during coitus, what am I even saying. Lol

Today I started doing pushups in the morning and was only able to do three push ups. On the third attempt I was only able to do 17 push ups. I guess I need to improve the food to increase the push up, the more energy the body produces the more I can push up. Of course since I accepted the challenge I must be able to give 100 push ups before reaching 100 bitcoins.

Yes pushups can more difficult for a new starter, you need to take it easy by doing it one step at a time, however doing push-ups comes with pains but you have to endure it up to a certain point before having some rest, enduring the pains is more like building up stamina to break your limit.

What is happening to you is very normal for a starter and not just because of food, yes of a truth good dietary is very good along side with exercise.

Keep doing the few you can and do it on different pacing and you will be surprised how you will gradually break your present limit.

When you do push-ups slowly, it puts a lot of stress on the muscles of your arms.There is a tendency to do fast push-ups at the beginning of each set but slow down over time. But if you can rest for 3-5 seconds on both hands in the middle of each set then you can increase more push-ups.The more tolerant you are of putting pressure on your entire body, the more you will benefit. The stronger your endurance level, and more you can push-up.
It's 20 days for me... I regularly complete 4 or 5 sets per day and do 40-45 push-ups at various times throughout the day. I even complete 2 sets in between work at the office. My body fat has started to melt and my weight has dropped by 5 kgs which is very pleasure for me.

You shouldn't be surprised that you were able to hit only 3 push-up at first and later completed 17 on your third attempt that is because you just started.
The journey of a thansand miles they say begin with a step so you are already on it don't allow the pains that you received during and after your push-up exercise discourage you not to continue with it for there are good benefits attached to it, but sometime it doesn't necessarily mean that one must eat plenty of food in other to increase your push-up limit sometimes doing your push-up continuously and regularly step after step can also help increase your push-up limit, though food is also an important tool that helps generate energy for the work to be done aswell because one will also need to eat some proteinous food after stressing up the body system to energized it inorder to be able to carry out another push-up exercise after having some rest.

30 March 2024 , my first push up- started & I managed to complete about 40 push ups that day but today I am amazed that just doing exercise and pushups can drastically change the body and become a habit.
40 Push up for stating day.
42 push up second day .
If I continue to increase my push-ups by two each day, I will soon reach 100 before the halving.  But Bitcoin may not be 100k before April halving but I want to continue practicing my push ups.
