Howdy!

2 days of 100 push ups/day until 100k down, unknown to go.

What happens after 100k?

Do we need to do 200 push ups until 200k?

Not sure. Just saw the challenge making the rounds on Nostr and Twitter and thought it would be a good thing to try on SN. I guess after 100k we come up with something new. I vote for 200 squats.

Obviously because I'm too weak

Anyone who turns 20 will also turn 21, and it is a much more beautiful number 🤠

I would be happy if I could do 1 one arm push up between now and 100k.

Back when I was doing lots of martial arts and was in great shape, I attempted a one-handed clap push up. That involves pushing off the ground with enough momentum to slap my chest and get my hand back in place. Let's just say that's not how it went.

Did my first set of 40 right after I got out off bed. Going to do the second set of 40 when I get home from work. Seeing you guys talk about clap push ups make me want to try to do the final 20, which I'll do after dinner, with claps. Will report back on how it went afterwards.

Did 40 regular push ups right after work. Did the final 20 with claps just now; the first 10 was straight forward, 11-15 was starting to get tiring, started to struggle on 16, and barely got high enough above ground to do the clap for 18-20. 20 clap push ups felt much harder than 40 regular ones. But yea, another day, another 100 in the books. See you guys again tomorrow.

If I could get back to the physique I had two years ago I would be happy. Was in good shape working out at least 5 days a week. Now I would say I am in ok shape.

I had a herniated disc in my back a year and a half ago and that really slowed me down. Didn't do much besides walking for a couple months and then when I got back into exercising it was just lifting light weights 3 times a week. Now I am lifting a big heavier, but still not heavy, 4 times a week. Hopefully the daily push ups give me some momentum to get back to my routine from two years ago.

My son has a daily workout he does for taekwondo which includes kicks he practices, push ups, sit ups, squats, planks and 30 mins on the exercise bike. I did it with him a couple weeks ago and was able to complete the whole work out but I was sore for days.

It’s really good you are back into the routine of exercise - a disc prolapse is no joke either physically or mentally.

As with any training it’s about overload to allow you to improve. As the total number doesn’t get any larger (with this method) the number of reps per set needs to increase or the rest between sets decrease.

And always remember; sore today, strong tomorrow….

The mental side of it was a big component. Being willing to test yourself but know your limits as well.

Good advice.
