I haven't tried to go beyond 50 at a time yet and it's been a week or two probably since I went to 50. 40 has gotten pretty normal and 20 feels like nothing now. I should probably try pushing myself to see how many I can do just to get a feel for how far away I am from 100 at once, but I'll wait until after the halving for that.
I should probably write my push-ups down too. This has become just as much an exercise of my memory recall as it has been my chest muscles.
I will say that I'm a bit surprised at the visual effect this has had on my core. I didn't expect to build *** gutters from this challenge.
You do it gradually it's good enough, if you want to exceed the number of push-up sessions you do, it may take time to repeat.
When I first did push-ups, I did at 5 sessions of 10/10/10/10/10 with a rest gap of 1-minute to rest the muscles.
Don't push too hard if you can only afford 40 at a time in one session.
If 40 is done quite easily and quickly, then increase it.
100 at a time I did, but it was quite heavy for the first time I did.
And the effects of bibs such as burning and some back injuries can also occur if not done properly
I did it for 3 months and already seen the mass of bibs increasing and the visual shape of the body changing.
Surely if you are fairly young and somewhat athletic, then you are more likely able to build your muscles more easily than an older person, yet I don't know how any member would expect to be able to just double his pushup plateau point.. When I was in the practice of training for running marathons, I would frequently assert that if any regular runner has a training distance that is regular, he should be able to double such distance for a one time kind of event.. such as a marathon and still be able to get through the whole distance with a matter of pacing himself..
Yet the same thing is likely not even close to true with something like pushups.. You cannot just double your amounts, even if maybe you are regularly not doing them to a point of failure.. and if you are continuously doing your pushups to a point of failure, then I have difficulties understanding how you would just be able to increase the amount.. because your body is going to fail..
Maybe you can squeak out an additional 5% or 10%, but if you are continuously carrying out a certain quantity of pushups to failure, you are not going to just automatically be able to either double the amount or even to just squeak out another 30% to 50%, and surely 5% to 10% is more realistic, even though surely every once in a while you might be able to level up a bit higher amounts such as in the range of 20% or so.. but it seems unrealistic to be expecting abilities to just ramp up your pushups by greater than 30% in any short-period of time merely due to will power, especially if you are already working yourself to failure points.. and more so for more elderly people even though younger folks in their 20-40 range might be able to have a lot more hidden underlying muscle potential that previously they had not realized that they had.
I believe the push ups is now having a positive effects on those of us who're taking it seriously and I wish the market price would take us as serious as we're taking this challenge to elevate to a new ATH.
A new month and another new week which is coming to an end with no positive movement of Bitcoin price, still roaming around $60k to the current price which is $68k, I feel that next week is going to be another new beginning with the price going back up to $70k+ to boost the hope of getting to $100k, let's see what this month has in store for us.
There are a lot of ways in which we could look at the matter, including that the BTC price is not really correcting greatly, so it could be the case that our pushups are contributing to the Bitcoin price's refusal to correct greatly.
Honestly I thought about that but it seems things was going to be in good shape and we could have another positive movement but it seems like the correction isn't having any effect in a very long time. I still have that hope of seeing the price to take a new turn, I feel like if we add up the number of push up Bitcoin price will rise again.
Of course, I have been playing along with your little funzies, yet for sure, I have noticed quite a few of your posts in recent times, and surely you seem to be lacking in terms of your long term commitment to BTC, including that you seem to be wanting to shave off some profits rather than continuously buying BTC and/or taking advantage of BTC price dips.
So, I get the sense that you are not even close to a point of over-accumulation but instead you are wanting to sell BTC to be able to buy back cheaper, which is not a good way of thinking about BTC and it is likely going to continue to contribute to your own stress based on your lack of an approach to BTC that focuses further into the future.
You are ONLY able to help yourself in regards to the extent that you are able to figure out some long term approach to bitcoin rather than getting worried about short term price moves and probably your desire to shave some BTC off (and perhaps all (or too much) of your BTC holdings) so that you can buy more back cheaper (which may or may not end up working out).
You have been registered on the forum for almost a year and a half.. but you probably need to just continue to figure out ways to accumulate BTC and don't get so worried about BTC price and/or points in which you can sell some of your holdings, and perhaps after 10-15 years or longer, you will start to feel that you really have ended up building a lot of options for yourself with both the amount that you put into BTC and its likely appreciation during the time of your building your holdings of it..
Of course, there are no guarantees in whatever we do, but each of us needs to figure out some kind of a strategy that allows us to actually benefit from BTC rather than fucking around with trying to trade the best asset known to man and widely available to anyone who is able to recognize, appreciate and adequately build their own BTC stash to improve their own life during this seemingly ongoing greatest transfer of wealth in history and preference to be on the receiving side of such wealth transfer rather than either being disconnected or even ending up on the giving side or it.
..... because we all believe that after the halving , Bitcoin next ATH would be around price range of $100k and above.
You seem to be low balling BTC if you are keeping $100k as your framing of the next ATH.. even though you mentioned $100k and above, your mindset is surely lowballing the idea.. even though surely we might ONLY end up with lower numbers, and there is also no guarantee that BTC will go up from here.. but still the base case is likely way the fuck greater than $100k-ish, even if the base case still might ONLY have 30% or so odds of happening, the idea of a base case is that it is the most likely of any of the possibilities, at least at the time that the assertion is made.
I should probably write my push-ups down too. This has become just as much an exercise of my memory recall as it has been my chest muscles
lol that would actually be a great idea , keeping note of your pushups by writing it down, that where kinda messed up I wasn't keeping proper note of my pushups and I endup forgetting some ,
Any of us who makes a plan to do something like this every day likely is going to be advantaged in terms of keeping track by writing it down.. helps to both keep us serious, but also gives a more accurate ability to verify the extent to which progress is being made or not..
Surely, we can see if we are able to increase the amount of pushups that we do if it goes from 20, 35 to 50, etc, but there can be a lot more granular ways of measuring progress that might not be very apparent without some kind of note taking.
I know a category that I could include would be regarding which parts of my body hurt and how much, since that has also seemed to have had changed over time... but I am not keeping track of body pains in my notes.. but it could help when something so intense like this is playing out.. 5 times per day.. holy shit.. for 62 days so far.. that is a lot of activity and time spent with this.. even though I started out with 2-3 times per day and the got to 4 times per day and I ONLY have been doing 5 times per day in the last 41 days.. but it is still a lot.
Another thing that I just realized in regards to writing down your quantity of pushups for each set, perhaps what time you did them, how long it took you to do them and perhaps how you felt (areas of pain), there can also be some difficulties in keeping track of how many pushups you are doing while you are doing them because sometimes you might be trying to breath, or thinking about the pain and the exertion, but then you also might lose track of the count.. so even then, there is likely some value in terms of both knowing that you are going to be writing it down to contribute towards your attempt to keep track of it and also your writing it down right away so that you don't forget and/or mix up what you had actually done since you might have other things going on in your life and distracting you from remembering and/or keeping track of whichever kinds of specifics you determine to be important to you now and/or what specifics you might want to have in written form when you are reviewing what you had accomplished when it comes to time passing down the road.. which I would have hardly any clue regarding the specifics of what I had done in regards to daily pushups one or two months ago, even though maybe I have some vague memory of it.. but writing it down causes it to be a much more reliable reference point..
but I do remembered that at first I was not hitting 100 daily , at that time hit my pushups depending on Bitcoin recent price , like now Bitcoin around $67k , i would hit 67 pushups because that time was trying to get used to it . Then started using set to hit 100 pushups daily but to be honest I was not being consistent with it .now I'm just doing some warmup pushups not upto 100 though , like 50 and sometimes when am feeling stress out I will just do 30 . But i believe that after the upcoming halving , I will definitely begin my 100 pushups again but this time I will make sure I note down my pushups after hitting it daily. And I also believe that after the upcoming halving this thread would be more active with alot of users wanting to participate in this challenge because at that Bitcoin movement would be our motive.
I am not sure how the halvening is going to affect participation in this thread. I would imagine that the longer the thread lasts, the more and more guys are going to drop off from doing their pushups daily and several guys will lose interest, without necessarily writing to tell us that they had lost interest... It is not an easy task to both keep up doing the pushups and also to talk about it.. and perhaps talking about it does help to keep it going - even though even ongoing talking about it might still not be enough to motivate everyone to do their pushups even if they want to do it, it hurts to do them.. and to continue to do them several times per day and consistently do them.. ouch!!!.. having said that, I am going to do my second set for today.. .. right around 2 hours after my first set for today..
