As a thread, we have been doing these for more than 500 days, and yeah, thank you DirtyKeyboard for creating and running such a script to keep track of our progress as individuals and as a group... Can we even do another 1 million pushups in another 500 days.. or will the quantity of days get longer, and/or can we get additional participants to help us in the next million. Even for myself on a personal level, I had gravitated up to averaging 260 pushups per day, yet in recent times, my quantity has been gravitating down, and my average pushups per day in the past 3-ish months has been in the lower 100s.. So, unless I return to higher quantity pushups per day, it seems that my average per day will continue to come down, perhaps into the lower 100s of pushups per day.
If we keep on doing our push-ups and keep this thread going, I believe we will achieve 1,000,000 push-ups again, but it will take more than 500 days to achieve it because we aren't as plentiful as we were when this idea was initiated by OgNasty. JayJuanGee, even though your quantity of push-ups is gravitating down, don't see it as a weakness because whatever quantity of push-ups that is your average push-ups, it will help us to achieve another 1,000,000 push-ups in the near future.
I personally believe that we tend to be more viscerally motivated when we are able to internalize any goals on a personal level, so if the goal is abstract then we may well not want to continue to carry it out.
I do have a motivation on a personal level just in terms of my sense of my own well-being, and I continue to believe that pushups are a good daily activity, and I believe that I will suffer more costs by stopping doing them than the benefits of continuing to do them on a daily basis.
Regarding your math. .it is not correct.
Sure my past pushups are in the can.. meaning that they already count and there is no taking them back, yet whatever I contribute the future is based on my current and/or future pushups, even though my average per day pushups is propped up by the quantity of pushups that I did in the past. i had right around 14 days that were more than 400 pushups and around 4 of those days were more than 700 pushups, with one of the days (my record day) having 1,330 pushups in one day.. so surely those BIG days really did bring up my average. but it took some time to build up to being able to do that quantity of pushups in any particular day.. and even for several days, like a kind of ongoing training for a specific goal.
