10665 push ups?
Wow that's like 169 per day
Talk about drive.
My first 4 days were under 100 per day, and so by day 5, I only had 360 pushups in total.. an average of 72 per day.. .. so little by little I have been increasing my number of pushups per day (and per set, and number of sets in a day).. .. so it has been working out fine, so far..
There were a few days that I wanted to do lighter days, but I many of the times, I tried to push myself to what I perceived to be relatively healthy limitations. but frequently hurting and tired.. but something I could do and I feel is getting somewhat easier, even though I am still pushing myself.. and it still hurts on most days (if not all days).

it's the consistency that matters. With proper planning and setting out things that encourages you to meet up with the set out target, you can easily reach this hight.
I am not sure about the "easily reach" part, because even though anyone should be able to do it, it is not easy to keep doing it.. except maybe to be able to brag about it.. so surely it is within grasp for anyone who prioritizes doing it....
There's gotta be some kind of a perception of a payoff, especially to prioritize it in order to keep doing it...
It could be something as simple as making it compulsory that you aren't visiting the forum until you finish your pushups for the day. That way, it gives you the ability to be disciplined and dedicated to the task.
Fair enough.. but I would not have had been able to do as many pushups if I had not spread them out through the whole day.. and I probably would have injured myself if I tried to do them in too much of a clustered way.. However, I am finding that now I don't seem to need as much recovery time.. but there is a kind of balance with recovery time that helps to be able to keep doing them.
You can decide to split your pushups into two sections; one will be the price of Bitcoin in the morning and then at night you do the other to mark how Bitcoin ended for the day. Like this morning now that Bitcoin is at $71k, that could be your morning target. And then when you're done with the days job you do the closing pushups that's going to be equivalent to what it ends up at. So if it's still at $71k, your total pushups for the day will be $142. You don't necessarily have to do the 71 at w time, with 15 pushups at a time, within 5 rounds you should have reached your target for the moment and it wouldn't even stress you that much. The advantage of consistently doing it on a regular bases is that your body gets used to it and every time Bitcoin goes higher than it previous price, it helps you to push yourself a bit harder and further above your normal limit which goes on to increasing your level of fitness.
I agree with all of this.
Ever since I started this push-up challenge which has really been of great help and benefit to me I have been able to do some numbers of push-up in the past weeks, though I wasn't keeping accurate numbers of push-up I have done ever since then, but I make sure I completed 100+pushup a day apart from last week that I decided to start keeping good record of numbers of push-up that I have done which was a total of 975 push-up.

This current week will be updated as I continue my push-up.
I am pretty sure that you cannot have any spaces in there. So I fixed it - except you are also missing the number of days.. . .so you need to put the number of days in there to make it a proper format so that DirtyKeyboard can properly read it.

team 0 pushups forever here

I will almost ready to applaud you for getting the format correct, except:
1) Seemingly, you don't know how to spell - even when the example of how to spell had already been provided
2) it is not possible to divide by zero... so there's gotta be some kind of error in that way of framing your proposed level of participation - and weren't you the "sips of coffee guy?".. well I forget, but I see doobies in your history on the topic.
3) there is something wrong about this whole seemingly not want to cooperate situation, and I should not even be encouraging such naughtiness.. Sure "anti-push-ups," that could be a thing.. I am not going to deny that.. but really.. something is not right about the whole seemingly push-up boycott situation, especially when they are not really fun or easy to do...
#justsayingteam 0 pushups forever here
Unacceptable.
Maybe that is a better way of saying what I was attempting to say, and surely more concise.
5) I was not thinking that rank would necessarily be a category - because I doubt that there would be any need to compete.. but then maybe the number of days could be the rank rather than the number of pushups.... but yeah, sure there might be some interest in the number of pushups, even though some guys have already stated that they were more interested in quality rather than quality, but we still might want to consider consistency, so the number of days could be a kind of ranking, so if guys are missing days, then they would ONLY report the days that they were doing pushups and not the number of calendar days, because the days might not count if they were to be days in which no pushups were done on those days.
Ranking would definitely cause some level of competitiveness which would deviate us from the main purpose of this challenge which is to help have a healthy daily routine of exercise while we support bitcoin. Some of us might start to feel we are not doing our best when the idea was to do as much as you can and remain consistent at doing it.
That is part of the reason that I was somewhat bothered by some of the aspect of ranking, since if there were to be any competition, then it should mostly be a kind of competition of each of us against ourselves, yet then if there is no listing then that could take away some of the group camaraderie.. ... I still find it interesting for guys to post their results.. even though some guys might not want to do it..
The idea of having a table is nice for record keeping, and this could help motivate others to want to be a part of the exercise and to know how much you have been doing so far and it would remove the stress for those that has not been keeping a personal record of how many pushups they have been doing.
Yep.. it can be interesting to have some comparables, even though surely some guys are doing them way less frequent, and some guys say that they are focusing on quality rather than quantity.. which surely would change the numbers. I know that if I had to do pushups that were 4 seconds each, then I probably would have only around 1/4 or less of the quantity.. but I personally don't want to do my pushups that way.. so there could be differences in the way that guys are doing their pushups.
I am not totally opposed to some kind of way of sorting the results, but it still could be helpful to put the results in some kind of order that relates to substance rather than something as non-substantive as alphabetical order.. .. yet I wouldn't be 100% opposed to that if that is what participants prefer.. .. and at the same time, we still don't have very many members reporting their results in the correct format so that DirtyKeyboard can run his script or however, he is generating the table.
cucumber and banana = energy booster 
For the benefits of this thread I feel I should share this, cucumber and banana
are natural foods that are very special with their unique health benefits
Which can be too numerous to mention, it will be very important
We eat fresh natural foods even as we continue in this challenge.
I doubt that you could live off of cucumbers and bananas for very long, but you could probably survive quite a long time off of bacon and eggs... even though there could be some missing nutrients in bacon and eggs, but I think that bacon and eggs is way more comprehensive of a meal..
Alternatively steak and eggs? Or prime rib and eggs, since here might be more fat in the prime rib..
I am not sure if the potatoes are good in this picture, but they are a fairly small amount.

Interesting, are you suggesting only 100 pushup days get counted?, We would still count the pushups for the total, but the days only tick when one has a 100 pushup day?
I would not want to overly complicate matters.. because there are some guys who are still working up to getting to 100 pushups per day and then some others who are doing more than 100 per day and some of the guys who are doing more than 100 per day are trying to average themselves out to some number that might rise to the level of 100 per day.. ..
So, sure maybe I am biased in terms of wanting to count as many pushups as guys do, but then it could end up getting outrageous, with guys claiming to do 500 per day and more. .which surely is possible to accomplish for some guys, and maybe something like that could still be counted.. even though some times it can be difficult to know if guys are just making it up.. and so we have no way of verifying, but I don't see any reason to doubt any of the reports, so far.

it made it kinda sound more competitive, well I think the rank part is nice it would help to give some users good drive in their pushups.
the rank should be determine by both the numbers of pushups and days too , that would actually make more users to be consistent with their pushups and also make it more fun . For the meantime users can keep hitting the numbers of pushups they can keep up with even hitting beyond 100 pushups.
it actually pains me that I wasn't able to keep track of my pushups the only ones I mange to remember is the week 2 of my pushups because I was actually focusing on Bitcoin recent prices to hit the pushups, I was able to calculate it because have only done 49 day of pushups, I started when the thread started and I actually skips some weeks due to some certain personal reasons. Then my pushups kinda reduce due to the time I stopped doing it but still I was able to do some 100 pushups as time goes making use of five sets. But now I can't actually tell how many pushups but still I will try to see if I can Come up with some reasonable number and I might endup shorting my self, I guessed that is the price of not keeping records and not being consistent with my pushups.
That's a cool idea of, not ranking, no one is better than any other, but we do need order. I like the idea of ordering the list with a variable pushup*days, calculated behind the scenes or presented.
Number of push up days could be good.. but there might need to be a minimum in order for the day to count.. maybe 10 pushups... I don't really like the idea of maximum per day, especially if guys seem to be working upon increasing their numbers.. but yeah there could be some circumstances in which we might question how the guy came up with his claimed number of pushups... I surely have already shown my breakdown, and I can also give an update.. even though that does not prove that I actually did the push ups that I claimed to have had done.
