this report hardly makes any sense.
You have been doing pushups for 100 days (starting before this thread started), and so you have an average of 39.9 pushups per day?
Something is surely wrong with your report.

I really don’t know what’s wrong with me because I could remember that three years back if I’m not wrong, I could do over 50 push-ups at a go but I really don’t know why I’m struggling to even do 30 at a go as this result this morning was really difficult to attain and I think I have to take this things as my health very serious and can anyone tell me why it’s so diffuse for me to do these push-up
For sure, push ups are not easy, and we are not going to naturally be able to do a lot of them or even to keep up with numbers that we did previously unless we are specifically doing push-ups as an exercise or some similar kinds of resistance training exercises that exercise the upper body muscles.
Of course, if we are staring to get older or maybe we are otherwise not a very athletic person, then we also might have declines in our abilities to do pushups, but even younger folks should have greater abilities to build back their muscle than older folks, absent some specific medical condition.
I am pretty sure that there had been articles presented in this thread earlier about regular folks starting to lose their muscle mass starting in their mid-30s unless there are active measures to try to retain such muscle mass.

We all grow old Obari, and if three years back you were more trained, it is normal that performance has decreased after a period of latency. In my case, I'm so untrained that I don't think it would be good for me to participate in such a challenge at the risk of getting injured (even if only in the spirit), so I propose to start little by little because, as I said, the years do not pass in vain.
But from what I see you are fitter than me so keep it up! Those who find it difficult have much more merit than those who have it easy from the beginning.
If you are in as bad of a shape that you claim to be in, then start with something between 5-10 pushups and three sets per day.. and then work your way up to 10 pushups and 5 sets a day.. and that could take you a couple of months to get there.. but try to do at least three sets per day, and it would be better if you are able to do 10 pushups in each of your sets.
Another possibility, if it is too difficult to do full pushups, then do modified pushups from your knees or perhaps pushing against the wall or some other way of having your feet lower than your upper body with a goal of getting to a point that you could do 10 full pushups per set and 3-5 sets per day.
Of course you can move your goals upward or downwardly in order to account for the amount of tiredness and/or muscle/joint pains you are feeling.
I still feel quite a few pains, but they are not as lingering as they were in the beginning. In the beginning (especially after a couple of weeks), my pains pretty much lasted all day long and I was continuously tired from the extra efforts of the pushups, and so even though I still have soreness and overall tiredness, it has gotten better - especially included that physically I am more capable to do more pushups (and consistently so) than I was able to do in earlier times.
I am not totally better.. but surely there are several areas of noticeable improvement in physique, strength and just overall feeling s of being able to exert myself with confidence.
Please I am new but Love this challenge I see it's not a gender barrier I love push up even as a woman beside I also believe is not too late for me to participate, I will run 50push you on daily basis, I may increase when my body begin to gain momentum why continue in the process.
You are welcome, as a lady you will go for a modified push-up because this type of push-up is done by girls also for beginners.
Push-ups are beneficial to our health and as a lady push-up will even bring extra benefits to your health.
As a beginner you can spread your push-up into 3 set 10reps each morning and evening then as time goes on you can start increasing your number of reps according to the number your body can carry.
Push-up exercise is more beneficial to women then men you will achieve somany health benefits doing push-up as a woman.
Of course, women do not need to do modified pushups. It will depend on her own goals and abilities, so she can choose if she wants to do full pushups or modified pushups (or even a combination of them)..
To me, it does seem that full pushups put more pressure on holding the full core.... and I would not presume that a woman who comes to this thread, admits she is a woman, says that she wants to do pushups is going to want to actually do modified pushups.. but yeah, maybe I am presuming too much because surely there are some women who might purposefully do the easier version of pushups because they purposefully prefer to try to tone their upper body rather than wanting to build upper body muscles - like guys might want to try to do.. ...
Regarding my own report, I had another day (yesterday) of less than 5 sets in the day, and I was in the middle of some social things around the time that I was supposed to do my 5th set of the day, and I was thinking about doing my last set, but I just could not bring myself to do that set (so I only got in 4 sets for yesterday)..
Even though the days of my carrying out fewer sets ended up with lower quantities of pushups, that result has been putting more pressure on me regarding to whether I will reach an average of 200 pushups per day in the next 9 days (by my 100th pushup day).
Nonetheless, I still seem to be on schedule..
With 2,085 more pushups needed to reach 20k pushups, I just need to do on average of at least 231.67 per day in the next 9 days in order to reach my target of having had done 20k pushups by day 100..
Anyhow here's my report, and I already did all 5 of my sets for today.
