Congratulations philipma1957. That's dedication. The forum is still alive because of valuable members like you. At the same time our life is better because of the Forum. Especially when we face many difficulties in real life, seeing such positive messages gives hope. There is no age for sports. The other day I watched the news that a 90 year old woman lifted 45 kg. We should do sports as long as we are living. Both in terms of health, a fresher body and a better psychology. We see the condition of those who don't do sports, even here.

@philipma1957, It looks like you are in the age group of 50 to 70, and considering that age you have improved your biceps with pushups . I hope you continue to work on your body and you make it look great. Thanks for inspiring us with your workout regime if possible I will come up with something similar to what you did in 2025.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone here, especially OP. I hope everyone has a fruitful, healthy, and wonderful year ahead.

no rice
no pasta
no bread
no cereal.

I grew up in NYC and I am mostly Italian background no bread and no pasta is really hard. to do.

I read the first four lines up there and I thought to myself "wtf? How on earth am I going to keep up with that if I were you", then I understood how difficult it must have been for you after I read the last line of the post. I haven't met many Italians but I've never met or heard of an Italian that doesn't eat pasta.

Rice, Pasta and bread are my go-to meals as someone who works from home. I can't say I'm a fan of cereal, but I eat them because most times I'm too lazy to fix breakfast in the morning.
That's a lot of work you put in, to be very honest and it's encouraging. Congrats.

[Pi$$]

Oh my God! 67 and 11 months but you still look 35.

I can grant my oldest daughter your hand in marriage with the biceps i am seing lol 

You are really doing a great job in your health keep it up.

[philipma1957]

I love to read this kind of post and wow! I never thought that at that age, someone would still be using Bitcointalk and even participating in a signature campaign. I hope when I get older, I’ll be like that too. And I hope I reach that age!

From the start I also never believe that 1 btc will be $100K.  How about 1m USD per bitcoin in 2050? Is it possible? Why not right? Anyway.......

Merry Christmas Philipma1957!

It will very likely get to 1 million in less time it took to get to 💯 thousand.

it was almost 16 years 0 to 100k

I am thinking under ten years to go from 💯 k to a million. Why not.

[Alone055]

That's dedication at its best!

I always hear people say, and I have read it a lot as well, that age is just a number, and it shouldn't be a barrier to anyone's ability to do something they want to do. People like you prove that this is true. You can achieve anything at any age with a will and enough dedication.

You are a senior to me, both in age and in this forum, but I must say that you are in great shape, maybe even better than me. Congratulations, you look much better and healthier than many people your age or even younger than you.

Being a Muslim, I don't celebrate the festival, but I hope you have a great holiday season with your friends and family.

Hey Phil, merry Christmas! Looks like those pushups have really helped build some nice biceps!

Exercising is such a great way to stay healthy and burn calories.  It is inspiring to see people succeed through hard work and discipline - it makes me want to better myself too.  As for the haters, let them hate. You should not waste time on their negativity.

[Onyeeze]

Happy Merry Christmas phil..and all bitcoiners that is alive and meet this Christmas and hits up of bitcoin price of hundreds thousand [100k] I believe that this Christmas is a remarkable something in the history of bitcoin, because I know quite well that bitcoin that it's within November that the price of bitcoin became some how strong at price of hundreds thousand, so whosoever that's is celebrating Christmas that have bitcoin in mind have to celebrate Christmas in benzene form.

[LogitechMouse]

This might be late since it's the 26th already here in our country, but still, a belated Merry Christmas to you and to other forum users here.

TBH, I felt ashamed of myself because I'm at my mid-20's, but I spent most of the year sitting, lying down, and scrolling on my phone instead of maintaining my body healthy. Thanks to this post, I already set myself that I will be spending more time exercising next year. Not through push-ups though since that isn't the only way to be healthy, but in different ways.

Still, getting 100 push-ups every day for more than 2 months at that age for me, is just amazing. I hope OG will make another post again in the future, but this time it will be $200,000 and please, not through push-ups only.

[lovesmayfamilis]

I'll show your biceps to my husband. It would be nice to show your torso too. At your age, having a beautiful, toned figure is an indicator of not only physical strength but also fortitude. We are lazy consumers of new technologies, glued to the monitor, often forgetting about our health, and such examples of adults and wise people should one day make everyone go to the gym and remember about themselves.

Please accept my respect and congratulations on Christmas.

And of course, increase the price of bitcoin by doing push-ups.

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

this is me on Christmas Eve after 7500 pushups in 75 days.

Lolz.. Indeed 7500 pushups really looks good on you Sir, and if I'm not mistaking, I guess that's Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra you are holding at hand horizontally above, which is one of the best mobile phone with great amazing features right now.

[apogio]

Allow me to congratulate you man.
You 're a brilliant forum member.
And also a dedicated person, which is not common this days.
Keep it up!
Merry Christmas!

Not sure why this is in meta but if people would stop jinxing the 100K price point by crediting a scheming narcissistic sociopath for it we might be able to keep it over 100K.

Thank yourself philip, you're the one putting in the effort and keeping it up. Don't give up!  Over 40 and in the best shape of my life, 0 pushups done to get here, and BTC will still go over 100K.

[Wonder Work]

philipma1957 Congratulations to you. Merry Christmas, but don't give up physical exercise. If you can do physical exercise regularly and can do push-ups continuously, then you will be physically healthy. According to your age, your body fitness looks like you are still young man.

I'm also doing push-ups continuously. I can do 108 push-ups in three steps a day. For now, I am holding it and will increase it gradually.

[SamReomo]

philipma1957 congratulations for achieving 7.5k push ups in just 75 days and all thanks to the thread that encouraged you and some other awesome guys to do push ups to help Bitcoin reaching $100k. It's truly your dedication and will power that allowed you to get so muscular at such age. Merry Christmas, I hope that in next Christmas you will get way better than now if you continue doing those push ups for a whole year.

[OgNasty]

p.s. thank you Og

Thanks to you phil.  I know I'm a bit of a target for trolls here so having someone with your penchant for being liked by all in support of the 100 push-ups per day challenge I think went a long way towards getting others involved.  The goal was to better the health of the community, so the more the merrier.  I'm glad that you're seeing positive results and maybe someday if you're ever in the desert over here in the southwest we can get together for a steak and do some push-ups. 

[Ambatman]

Don't mind me calling You Super Phil. Your dedication is admirable and contagious
I usually just give excuse that I'm too busy because of work to be consistent with the push up
But seeing despite your age your consistency makes me atleast do something everyday.
Though my Diet isn't that extreme but I must say I commend the heart and love you place in your personal health and contribution to the forum.

Health first Before Wealth.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

I never would have believed BTC would be 100k one day and I never would have believed that my largest biceps in my life would be at the age of 67 and 11 months

Let me use this medium in congratulating you over this double acheivement, I know it couldn't have come that easier for you, especially on the task to 7500 push ups being accomplished, also for being among those who could motivate for bitcoin to reach $100,000

Maintain all you have started regarding your fitness,  next year for another challenge in new dimension.

[LTU_btc]

Who could have though that getting involved in Bitcoin can be beneficial for health. 100 pushups a day 75 days in a row and counting is very serious stuff. You're 67 years old and you're looking great. I'm more than 2x younger than you and 100 pushups every day would be big challenge for me. I'm fit and I excercise almost daily, but I don't really like making pushups Smiley.
Taking such challenge looks like not bad idea, but probably for most of us it would end like New Year resolution about going to gym Cheesy.
