I was thinking about switching up my sets to what @gnilma is doing. 40-40-20. 25 push ups is a bit too easy.
What are your pyramid sets? I saw your post about it but I forgot how it worked.
I actually switched to 50-50 because I didn't want to risk forgetting to do the final 20. One set early in the morning before heading to work, and one set when I get home right after work.
I also do maxi Sundays, where I attempt the max reps I can do in one set every Sunday. Interestingly, I only got to 80 this Sunday, but had 88 last Sunday. Must be tired from work or tired from my runs or something.
The pyramid scheme sounds fun and challenging. You're pretty much doing burpees with squats and calf raises.

The pyramid pattern is 1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1.
So, that's 1 pushup, then kind of jump into a crouch to do the squat from, then do a calf raise at the top. Then drop back down and do 2 pushups, jump up and do 2 squats/calf raises, then 3 of each, etc.
Something about that transition between pushups and squats must be generating more difficulty than I expected it to.
By the time Bitcoin reaches 100k, I'm hoping to be doing one big pyramid (1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1), instead of four little ones, every day.
