100 Push-Ups A Day Until Bitcoin Is $100K Challenge

[JayJuanGee]

I would like to accept myself as a member of pushup challenge and update it daily. I've done push ups a few times before to keep my body in shape but here the push up challenge will give me a different feel. In fact, while sitting in a chair at work in the office, I have gained belly fat which is very noticeable. I decided to solve this problem by dieting as well as joining the gym and even doing a certain amount of push ups every morning which would benefit me. But it seems difficult to do push ups to increase the body weight, still I tried to succeed.

According to my first day report only able to do 10 push ups I gasped a lot doing it and took a lot of big breaths.

Welcome to the pushups challenge.

I would suggest trying to work yourself up to being able to do three sets of 10 pushups and then try to do more after that, yet sure, you have to go in accordance with your own abilities, but if you try to do 3 sets every day, then you will likely be able to build up your number of pushups per set and also the overall number of pushups that you can do in a day... and of course, try to be careful not to hurt yourself and keep on doing them, and likely you will see improvements in your abilities.   If you are not used to doing pushups you will likely feel sore for the first several weeks and even months.

The 100 rep sessions are starting to get easier to do.

You are not doing 100 pushups in one set, are you?

Most likely you are doing several sets, so then a session would be those several sets?

Each of us have our techniques, and I tend to do 5 sets spread out through the day.. which is mostly my current practice, even though, there are some days that I vary the way that I do the pushups.

That's my end of the last set, let's effing go face.

Keep calm and push on.

Like u, this question came to my mind but was not asked. Anyway, since u are doing it, if you answer your question, I will know how he is actually doing those sets.

One thing I've noticed is that many people don't mention who did how many sets of total pushups. I think the sets should be mentioned because if u don't mention the sets, u don't know how much he's improving or how many pushups he's doing each day. I think these things should be noted and shared further. What do u think?

100k,NotATether,8,600,2024-09-12

100 reps for someone that just started doing push-ups is impossible or maybe you mean doing 100 push-up in a day combined with reps and set maybe morning and evening session.

For it will take enough time and preparation and consistency be fore such 100 reps of push-up can be achieved which won't be even easy.

I think need to do some exercise before doing pushups. I have seen many people who wake up in the morning and do pushups, but it is not right, it can cause damage to the body. Because after we sleep all night, the flesh and muscles are all fixed. That's why we need to do some physical exercise before doing pushups in the morning. When I wake up in the morning, firstly walk a little, joging a little time, jump a little and drink water when the body starts to circulate properly. Then I do pushups. Every day I do one more pushup with no problem I can do it nicely.

I follow a website for doing physical exercises here everything is explained nicely and given in video form if anyone wants to watch it. All step u seen this website: https://www.nasm.org/exercise-library

For the vast majority of the population, there is no need to do specific exercise in preparation of going for push-ups. As we are talking about body weight exercises here with no heavy machines or extra weights involved, push-ups are in fact one of the best things you can do with a risk of injury being close to nonexistent. There are of course many ways to exaggerate things, like pumping it push-ups similar to a sewing machine. That would involve the muscles less while overusing passive body structures like ligaments, tendons and cartilage. But if someone takes the exercise seriously and does reasonable movements while putting the body under moderate stress, it's all fine and there is almost no risk for injuries.

But don't think as a universal rule as there of course individuals with a different set of preconditions, perhaps pre-existing injuries or severe muscle weaknesses, imbalances, or potential nerve damages. But this is rather the exception than the rule. Other than that, body weight is the perfect way for your body to set limits itself. That's why I am a big fan of calisthenics. It's an amazing sport for those who practice it frequently.

But ultimately it never hurts to warm up of course and whether that be going for a quick and intense walk to get the blood flowing or some other low intensity cardio, it's never wrong to get the body and the mind going after getting up.

With this being said, I am now able to ramp up my push-up numbers and the wrist is very close to being fully able to cope with heavier workloads. Injuries suck a lot!

I think that members and/or pushup challenge participants should feel free to share their pushup information in whatever way that they like, and surely it is a bit unclear sometimes regarding what they are doing, so I suppose if the information is presented in unclear ways, then other members might get confused by their presentation or even question what it is that the member is doing.

In the end, the participation is voluntary, yet there is a bit of a courtesy to attempt to present clearly, but it is not required in order to still participate... sure if the member wants results to show up in the pushup's table, then DirtyKeyboard has described how to format member pushup reports in order that his script will be able to read it, yet even his script has become a wee bit more tolerant with the passage of time, due to his brainstorming solutions to attempt to allow the script to be more capable of reading the pushup reports.

Of course, if members want to have interactions with other members about their pushups, then the more specifics they provide can potentially spark interaction from other members, yet surely there is variance in regards to what members might be wanting to achieve through their pushups, which might not even be locked in since even doing pushups every day can be quite challenging, which seems to be the goal of some of us, and I am not even claiming that I always want to continue doing them, yet I know that if I cut back very much, then it will become more painful to try to get back to my current pushup ability level.

By the way, there are probably not too many members who are doing higher numbers (such as more than 50) in their pushup sets, and surely there are not even requirements to get to supra 50 pushup sets, and surely if some members are not keeping track and they are ONLY giving their daily results, then that is their choice.  I personally did not start to time my pushups until after my first 50 days of doing pushups, and so I find my timing of my pushups to be helpful to myself, even though that is not a category of any of the reports that I usually make, but from time to time, the timing of the pushups could still come up as a topic when we are referring to pushup form, and so I do tend to have pushups that are right around 1 second per pushup, even though they more often are slightly faster than 1 second per pushup rather than being slower than that, and surely going slower is a bit more difficult to accomplish....and overall I believe that I have been able to slow down, so there seems to be some progress for me, even when using that personal metric that surely is not even required to report or discuss, even though on a personal level I can attempt to see where I am at in regards to that particular metric that I have been measuring, yet other members are more likely not as commonly keeping track of the timing of their pushup sets.

My muscles are a little sore on the first day, but today I warmed up a bit by running a little before my push-ups, which helped with my push-ups. When we suddenly want to do pushups without warming up the body, it can be annoying for us because then our arm muscles can feel tight. I did 10 push ups in one set the first day but today I was able to do fifteen push ups in two sets to balance my body.

Today is my second day report;

The weekend is in full swing. Another day of doing a single set above Bitcoin’s price. It shouldn’t be this easy. That means Bitcoin’s price is too low and has been for too long. We’re all getting way too strong waiting for $100K. With a little luck it won’t be too many more months. I feel like we’ve all earned that first rest day.

Looking at the table
Is like our names are been recorded in the carnal of history
At least my name is there but I know I could do better but consistency is becoming an issue.
Sometimes I do forget it procrastinate till the period am tired and then I shift to the next day.
In all I just want to manage my time well but I usually get held up by something or another.
Now am kinda free and could do something but my head is saying "Is Sunday, on the seventh day He Rested ".
Don't mind my ranting, felt like getting it out of my chest.

Funny you should say that.  There are going to be (hopefully, or not hopefully actually) two tables.  

There might be, depending on your feedback, two tables.  The active table, which includes those who have reported in the last 30 days.

This does not affect anyone's contribution to the amazing amount of over 400k pushups reported, and that's not counting the pushups before the table was born.  

[DYING_S0UL]

It's my second day today. I mean it's kinda hard but I'm trying. Rather than doing only pushups, I thought I might try something else. Do any of you do plank exercise? Since it doesn't requires any equipment's, I tried doing planks, max I could do 40 seconds. Even though it was less than a minutes, I could feel my body starting to heat up!

Quick question: By "TotalPushupsDone" did he meant total pushups done throughout the entire challenge?

100k,DYING_S0UL,2,80,15-09-2024

Of course pushups might not help to accomplish getting skinnier, even though it will likely help with strength and muscle tone and maybe even building some confidence, as long as each of us tries to do our pushups in ways that we do not injure ourselves.  

In terms of physical and mental health, we also should be trying to make sure that we consider the ways that we eat, our sleep and the levels of controlling our stress... and so having other decently good practices might help to make our pushups to be more meaningful to our overall well-being.

Thank you for your kind words! btw, losing body fat or weight isn't my concern anyway. It's not a big deal for me, as I know how. The first time I lost 10 kg only in 2 months. Later gained. The 2nd time I again lost around 10-15 kg within 2 months. I was 49 kg then. Currently, I have again some weight. It's like a loophole. When it comes to reducing body fat, that's not an issue for me. I could reduce it if I wanted to, like I did in the past! So here I am!

What my main concern is building consistency for the long run. I wanna strength my muscle.

It is accepted to add other exercises too since push-up exercise only tries to build up our upper body this will help you gain more body balance when you add other exercises like squat which also help the build your lower body and lunge exercises too and so on.

Regarding to your question about total push-up done it doesn't mean all the entire push-up done in this challenge it means the total push-up you have done when even you do a new report you add the current one you have done and also your previous total push-up done just like that and it keeps on increasing as you continue to do push-ups.

[Just Say]

I would like to accept myself as a member of pushup challenge and update it daily. I've done push ups a few times before to keep my body in shape but here the push up challenge will give me a different feel. In fact, while sitting in a chair at work in the office, I have gained belly fat which is very noticeable. I decided to solve this problem by dieting as well as joining the gym and even doing a certain amount of push ups every morning which would benefit me. But it seems difficult to do push ups to increase the body weight, still I tried to succeed.

According to my first day report only able to do 10 push ups I gasped a lot doing it and took a lot of big breaths.  

100k,Just Say,1,10,2024-09-14

Welcome to the pushups challenge.

I would suggest trying to work yourself up to being able to do three sets of 10 pushups and then try to do more after that, yet sure, you have to go in accordance with your own abilities, but if you try to do 3 sets every day, then you will likely be able to build up your number of pushups per set and also the overall number of pushups that you can do in a day... and of course, try to be careful not to hurt yourself and keep on doing them, and likely you will see improvements in your abilities.   If you are not used to doing pushups you will likely feel sore for the first several weeks and even months.

Today I was able to do ten push ups in the three sets you mentioned. Compared to the second day I reduced the pushups but increased one set. Now on the third day my goal is to do ten push ups in three sets. I reduced the push ups and increased the sets due to soreness in the arm muscles.

100 reps for someone that just started doing push-ups is impossible or maybe you mean doing 100 push-up in a day combined with reps and set maybe morning and evening session.

For it will take enough time and preparation and consistency be fore such 100 reps of push-up can be achieved which won't be even easy.

I meant, 100 pushups all together.

I do mine in 4 reps of 30-20, up from 25x4. And in 10 mins too.

Once-heavy stuff is easier to carry now. But careful not to bust any backs here.

Looking at the table

Don't mind my ranting, felt like getting it out of my chest.

Almost every single day for the last 224 days, I don't want to do pushups, yet I make myself do them.  Almost all of the time, I don't like doing them, even though every once in a while I do like to do them, yet my overall sense is that I don't really like doing them.

The reason that I do the pushups is so that I can say that I do pushups, I  can look in the mirror and I can see that I have better muscle definition that is continuing to get better, overall I feel stronger and I feel more capable to do other kinds of exertion exercises, I feel that pushups are good for me in a variety of ways.

I think that my health is better because I do pushups rather than if I don't, and I even recommend that others do pushups (whether in real life or on the forum), but I still don't like doing them.  Sometimes I think that if I were to do fewer pushups per set, then I would feel better about doing pushups, yet if I do fewer pushups per set or even fewer pushups per day, then it seems to me that the next day or even a few days down the road my later sets of pushups feel more difficult to do.. so there seems to be a certain value in doing more pushups per set.. even though I could set my pushup goals, per set or number of pushup sets at lower levels.

Funny you should say that.  There are going to be (hopefully, or not hopefully actually) two tables.

Of course you can make tables however you like, and surely I don't mind something like a 30 day dividing line between active and inactive, yet do you find it more useful to have two tables, versus just having the active and the inactive divided within the same table?  Maybe it is almost the same thing, even though there is a certain ease to see everything in one table, it maybe would not make a lot of difference if the table is one table or two tables based on the activity level.

We know that sometimes we have seen some members who have not posted for 1-2 months (and maybe even more than that) and who come back to post their pushups, and surely the less active members do seem to have a tendency to be less active, yet it seems that almost all of the participants are less active in terms of the submission of their pushup reports, including yours truly.  I tend to submit might every several days, and not very frequently on a daily basis.

Quick question: By "TotalPushupsDone" did he meant total pushups done throughout the entire challenge?

Similar to Zackz5000's response.. the answer is yes.. The total number of pushups that you want to have counted that goes along with the total number of days that you were doing pushups.

Of course pushups might not help to accomplish getting skinnier, even though it will likely help with strength and muscle tone and maybe even building some confidence, as long as each of us tries to do our pushups in ways that we do not injure ourselves.  

In terms of physical and mental health, we also should be trying to make sure that we consider the ways that we eat, our sleep and the levels of controlling our stress... and so having other decently good practices might help to make our pushups to be more meaningful to our overall well-being.

Thank you for your kind words! btw, losing body fat or weight isn't my concern anyway. It's not a big deal for me, as I know how. The first time I lost 10 kg only in 2 months. Later gained. The 2nd time I again lost around 10-15 kg within 2 months. I was 49 kg then. Currently, I have again some weight. It's like a loophole. When it comes to reducing body fat, that's not an issue for me. I could reduce it if I wanted to, like I did in the past! So here I am!

What my main concern is building consistency for the long run. I wanna strength my muscle.

You have to figure out your own goals in regards to whether you want to attempt to keep body fat low or to try to reduce it, and even if you had done it previously, I think that there is a certain power in keeping the body fat down, and I am not going to claim that I am good at such thing, and I think that sometimes younger people are not as worried about body fat when they otherwise have good health and strength, yet excess body fat can surely be detrimental to our various metabolic systems that gets worse with age.

I agree that there tends to be some value in building muscle, strength and endurance and even knowing our exercise tolerance (or our exertion tolerance so that we might be more ready, willing and able to deal with exertion in real life situations), and sometimes some value can come from being flexible too, which is not always easy to do stretching and range of motion exercises.

Edit: Added on this response:

It's my second day today. I mean it's kinda hard but I'm trying. Rather than doing only pushups, I thought I might try something else. Do any of you do plank exercise? Since it doesn't requires any equipment's, I tried doing planks, max I could do 40 seconds. Even though it was less than a minutes, I could feel my body starting to heat up!

I come back to your question about planks, and surely there is some aspect of planks that can be considered as related to pushups, and if you do your pushups really slow, they can be almost like doing planks in terms of your choices also to move slow or to have stopping points (or almost stopping points). 

One thing when I am timing my pushups, I find that whether I do fast pushups or slow pushups, I have certain limits in regards to how long I can do the pushups, so even if I might be able to do 70 pushups in 60 seconds, I might still ONLY be able to do 30 pushups in 60 seconds if I am doing the pushups really slow, so the most that I can do is around 60 seconds, and sure some sets I have are faster and some are slower, yet in recent times most of my pushup sets are between 45 seconds and 60 seconds..;.and when I started timing myself after my 50th day, most of my pushup sets were between 35 seconds and 50 seconds.. So I supposed that there is a bit of an improvement in regards to how many seconds I tend to continue to do the pushups.. With a quick review of my times, I believe that 67 seconds is the most that I have ever done pushups which was on July 28 during a session that I had done 75 pushups, which is also my most pushups in a set, so far...and I am not sure ifI expect to be able to do more, except within that particular set, when I got up to 50 pushups, I wasn't feeling very tired at all, which usually I am starting to feel that I am getting tired by the time I get to 50 pushups, so that was when I started to push for a new record.. which I believe was 70 in a set prior to that time.

I couldn't do much today because I was sick, but I didn't give up. I did 10 pushups today. I will give more when recover. I tried to give more today but couldn't. I didn't give more pushups because it's not good to put too much pressure on a sick body.
