@OgNasty as I said before here, it is like building a tower. The more stones you use, the higher you can get. If you do 15,000 push-ups a year for 10 years in a row, you are 150,000 push-ups fitter than someone not doing the same (assuming that person doesn't do anything else of course). It was a nice insight I found in some Youtube video I think from some fitness and health doctor. He said every step we do and all the stairs we take through our lifetime, it adds up. Even if we have some vices like alcohol or cigarettes (of course not excessive of any of these). But even if you were an alcoholic, you would on average outlive someone when you do sports compared to an alcoholic who does nothing. Activity is key to longevity.
In my case, an increase on the quality of my life when I am older is what I am really looking for, and since I have seen some real-life examples of both, those that do exercise and those that do not, and the differences are dramatic, with those that have exercised for a long period of time being way more healthy than those that did not in almost any metric that can be measured.

So it is a no-brainier to exercise now so I can reap the benefits on the future, and while at the beginning it was hard, as I had not exercised for a decade, I am finally reaching a level of fitness I am comfortable with.

7.5 foot ceiling =  12 steps
10 foot ceiling = 16-17 steps

7.5 x 1.3333 = 10

12 x 1.3333 = 16

rounding issues or slightly taller steps are why I am 12 not 13 steps

rounding issues or slightly low steps are why you are 17 not 16 steps

Doesn't angle make a difference too.  I had to look this up, but it appears that standard stairs are around 37° but there can be variance between 25° and 70° with recommendations that they should not exceed 40° or be flatter than 25°.. but sure of course you are referring to stairs within a house, so they are likely more standardized.. yet I know some older houses have very steep stairs... but those might not be used for your stair running.

Here are the articles of my references for angles.

1) Self-Custody is a right.  There is no such thing as "non-custodial" or "un-hosted."  2) ESG, KYC & AML are attack-vectors on Bitcoin to be avoided or minimized.  3) How much alt (shit)coin diversification is necessary? if you are into Bitcoin, then 0%......if you cannot control your gambling, then perhaps limit your alt(shit)coin exposure to less than 10% of your bitcoin size...Put BTC here: bc1q49wt0ddnj07wzzp6z7affw9ven7fztyhevqu9k

Only managed to do 50 push-ups in 2 sets -30 and 20 because of my busy schedule.

Uhwuchukwu53 your yesterday's push-up report is not correct, and it will not be picked by DirtyKeyboard because you added a dollar sign at the back of the 100k in the push-up report format, and it's not supposed to be like that. You likely have the wrong push-up report format because this is the second time you have made this type of mistake. Below is the push-up report format that will guide you in reporting a perfect or accurate push-up. 100k,Username,DaysofPush-ups,NumberofPush-ups,yyyy-mm-dd. You can write down the push-up report format on paper so that you will not have to look for it anytime you are reporting your push-up; you can just look inside the book and see the push-up report format.

Although the posted format seems faulty due to $ sign, Uhwuchukwu53 latest report was included in DirtyKeyboard"s report sheet. I don't know how that report got included.

I believe that why Uhwuchukwu53 report was included in the report sheet despite the dollar sign in his 100k was that there was no extra space in his push-up report format had it been there was an extra space in his push-up report DirtyKeyboard script wouldn't have included it in the push-up table.

I don't actually think the reason why his report was taken, was because of no extra space. I think Dirtykeyboard doesn't settle down to look at it properly which can be as a result of been stressed out or maybe a mistake cause I haven't seen him take incorrect report. Perhaps it was taken because we are anticipating on Bitcoin to hit $100k but the reason is not even enough to pick the report cause there's a mistake already which disqualify's it. most of these dude report, if not all has always been incorrect and this makes me wonder if he derived joy or pleasure in making mistake and again what if he is doing it on purpose to gain popularity or something else just perhaps.

Hello guys, I’ve been super busy with work this week hopeful I can catch a break over the weekend here’s my 3 days report.
Still keeping up with the push-ups has been very cool and easy abit easier than I actually thought cause it seems my body has accepted it as my everyday routine I simply go down and come up with ease hopefully I might try to add an extra 10 next week let’s see how the weekend turns out.

Admitting to your mistake always is never the problem here but always making same silly mistake all the time even when you are been corrected, your mistake in your push-up report is now usual.

But looking at your present push-up report now I think you got it right this time hope you continue with it.

Mine are close to 37° the riser is under 8 inches the thread is about 9 inches.

so 12 x 7.5  inches equals 90 inches which is about 7 foot and six inches which is my first floor / walkout basement.

Og at 17 steps x 7.25 = 123.25 inches or 10 foot and 3.25 inches> assume he has 10 foot ceilings due to the hot dry climate he lives in.

My home has the shorter ceiling due to being in the northeast and closer winters. Although our winters are no longer that cold.

I absolutely agree and

Quote
with those that have exercised for a long period of time being way more healthy than those that did not

even more importantly than that, it is never too late to get started and reap some impressive benefits from physical activity. I don't know how many studies some of the guys here are reading, but I guess I am quite active doing that research and it very often blows my mind and gives me a good feeling about doing things, about being active and trying to eat and drink as healthy as possible. Many people think that they are already past doomsday. But there is no doomsday when it comes to prolonging a healthy life unless you are really wrecked already, and even then every single bit would still be better than nothing.

One thing for the guys here who do some endurance training, I am sure you have noticed that your lung volume and your load-bearing capacity changes tremendously within just 7 days when you go out and do some endurance training for one week consistently. It is insane! If you didn't do any endurance training for a couple of years and then do it 6 times in the coming 7 days, it'll blow your mind no matter whether you are relatively lean or kind of obese. It is just about getting the motor going again. And from there on out of a sudden being active starts making fun because exhaustion starts to turn into a somewhat comfortable challenge. People finally again realize how great and powerful and ambitious their body can be. I have been through that a while ago, had my own phase of inactivtiy for various reasons. Then one day: "click", and I thought damn, I gotta get moving again. That's what I am made for. From there on you realize you can turn into a machine again. There isn't really a red line where moving makes no sense anymore (apart from some exceptions of course, like very critical health issues).

Ok Dump3er.. so when did you start your activities, and what kind of activities did you start?  How frequently and what is the duration or the numbers?

"We " might claim to be somewhat numbers driven in this thread, but also "pushups" driven.  So do you have any pushups in your activities?  and, are they in a potentially reportable form?

Activity-wise, without some level of specifics, how are "we" going to relate?

1) Self-Custody is a right.  There is no such thing as "non-custodial" or "un-hosted."  2) ESG, KYC & AML are attack-vectors on Bitcoin to be avoided or minimized.  3) How much alt (shit)coin diversification is necessary? if you are into Bitcoin, then 0%......if you cannot control your gambling, then perhaps limit your alt(shit)coin exposure to less than 10% of your bitcoin size...Put BTC here: bc1q49wt0ddnj07wzzp6z7affw9ven7fztyhevqu9k

I have been through that a while ago, had my own phase of inactivtiy for various reasons. Then one day: "click", and I thought damn, I gotta get moving again. That's what I am made for. From there on you realize you can turn into a machine again. There isn't really a red line where moving makes no sense anymore (apart from some exceptions of course, like very critical health issues).

Great someone asks! Smiley I am active pretty much everyday. I have got a racing bicycle, which I use whenever I am not on the move for work or travels. I have got a nice treadmill, which I bought about 5 years ago and I hit the gym about 4-5 times a week. The treadmill is one of the best investments I made because sometimes when I wake up early, like 5:30 AM, I am not in the mood to go to the gym. But then there is the treadmill and without showering I can just jump onto it and get 30-45 minutes incline walking done. Sometimes I run, depending on the weather outside.

Now there is a difference whether someone wants to train for overall health and fitness, or whether someone really wants to stimulate hypertrophy. I am doing my workouts for about 10 years now with little interruptions. When you are in that flow hitting the gym on a regular basis, you start optimizing nutrition and sleep and whatever you can (we talked supplements). For health and fitness, any kind of reasonable resistance training is great and your body adjusts. But it should still be resistance training if that's the goal, and it should not turn into endurance training of some sort. If someone can do 100 pushups in one set, it is not really resistance training anymore (but still healthy of course!). I still have some special pushup grips right next to me as I am writing Smiley But I don't use them very often as I cover my desired load of resistance training in the gym.

However, I know where everybody is coming from and I can very well relate with the numbers people are posting here and I enjoy reading how people improve. I have had an extremely severe injury in 2013 and I needed several surgeries to get that fixed. But more importantly besides the surgery was the willpower to be active and start small. I was a crock, seriously. No more muscles, no motivation at first, but then got going again. I do double-marathon distances in walking/running, which is mostly a mental thing if your body is intact. I am aiming for longer distances very soon.

So the best I could share on a regular basis is step count / distance as that is something I track rigorously. As I do not really do pushups anymore since I use machines in the gym, I guess it wouldn't make that much sense to go for that. Then again, maybe I should do it as I am sure you guys here are posting genuine numbers and this is actually the reason why I like to follow this thread. Since we are still a bit away from 100k per bitcoin, maybe I can contribute some pushups to the fun here! Wink

But I think step count could be interesting for you, too. I am not sure how many here track their step count, do you guys do that? Frankly, I have become addicted to that and I pursue certain minimum goals everyday whatever it takes, unless it is really impossible due to travelling or so. But even then it is mostly possible.

Edit: I could add that especially long distance or repeatedly high resistance trainings require an understanding of anti-inflammatory measures someone can take to keep the joints and the tendons healthy. I have had recurring problems with some joins and tendons when I took on long distance challenges and that was when I really did a deep dive into anti-inflammatory nutritional options and supplementary options. But I think it is in general valuable to understand how to prevent or suppress inflammatory processes in the body. That's not only thing for someone going all out. The body is full of little inflammation spots and knowing how to control them is helpful. Inflammation isn't bad per se, hypertrophy is a type of inflammation, too. But controlling for inflammation to not get into a state that negatively affects your body is where doing the research and learning by experimenting pays off in the long run a lot! I was able to reduce inflammations singificantly and it is easily measured by the days per year I was forced to take a break five years ago and now. Particularly after my surgeries the inflammation control was key to my recovery.

In my case, an increase on the quality of my life when I am older is what I am really looking for, and since I have seen some real-life examples of both, those that do exercise and those that do not, and the differences are dramatic, with those that have exercised for a long period of time being way more healthy than those that did not in almost any metric that can be measured.
An apple they say keeps the doctor away but exercise does much more than that because it improves our immune system, it keeps you looking younger than your age. Exercise helps boost our mental health apart from making us looking physically fit. And I observe that people with regular routine exercises tends to be more happier and easy going with their life than those who don't exercise at all.  I am believing that participants in the BTC 100k pushups challenge will eventually make it a continuous lifestyle exercising even after BTC reaches 100k having seen and experience the benefits of regular exercise.
