Finally made it to 100 pushups by 11.55pm. the most pushups I have ever done in one day these 46 years of existence! Also did an hour of cardio and 100 situps. I will keep going!Good effort everyone, the timing of this tread couldn't have been better for me as I am looking to jumpstart my weight loss, active lifestyle journey.
I am in starting today June 1st, 2020.
First attempt: 20 push-ups and 15 situps! will add more throughout the day! I just want to commit myself before I think myself out of it!

Thanks a lot that is very encouraging, I am fired up to continue.A guy in the thread did it at 56 (I think). Scroll up for his video. He started just doing one a day.
You're a youngster at 46. My suggestion, commit to this challenge, and one or two months from now 100 pushups will seem more realistic. Keep with it and you'll start to feel 20 years younger.
(This is coming from a 45 year old was overweight 2 years ago and started a similar challenge last year. My goal was to get to 50 in one shot, which I accomplished earlier this year.).
I’d must admit, I’d rather do reps and vary the type of pushups so I’m not training the body in only one way of doing them.

Really glad to hear, it is taking everything in me to keep going into day 5!. I hope it gets better. My arms are sore. I am 46 and 280lb so that is a lot of weight to push up. But I am committed to jump-starting my weight-loss and active lifestyle goal! Your story is inspiring.Love this, i have been doing something similar for a year now.
I use a clock with a second hand. When the second hand strikes the 12 position i do 18 pushups which takes around 15-20 seconds. Then rest for the remaining 40 seconds of the minute until the second hand strikes 12 again and then repeat the 18 pushups.
I repeat this a further 30 times for a total of 540 pushups in 30 mins. A couple of times a week
I started with 10 pushups and progressed. It was damn hard to start, really hard but persistence is key. When i started i could barely do 10 good ones
I'm 48 now and in the best shape i've ever been in
Hi guys, this challenge must be the easiest ever proposed on the forum, all you have to do is 100 pushups with good form per day for 30 days, no matter how you do them, all in one sitting or spread out during the day.
I just failed my first attempt after 5 days...
So I'm debating wheter to restart today or tomorrow.
How it went: Day 1, fine did them in one session took me nearly an hour(was resting plenty and doing other stuff meanwhile), Day 2 it was brutal I completed it still in one session but most sets where 5 reps(day 1 they were 10), day 3 I spread them out during the day and hardly finished them up before going to bed, day 4 pretty similar to day 3, day 5 I get to 49 and in the last 20 there's something off in my right arm... like I pinched a nerve or something it felt super awkward, not hurting but like it's about to mess up so I stopped.
Weight has a huge role since I feel like my joints would be much happier if I weighted 20 kg less..
Restarting the challenge while keeping my calorie intake lower, debating wheter to count calories or not.
I'll be taking one picture per day and maybe make a small video at the end.
You're all welcome to join and see if physical progress can be made from such a simple exercise.
I used to be a very skinny guy and tried 100p/d. My body posture improved better. I did grow some muscles. But it's definitely not a good strategy to build muscles. Giving 48hrs resting is important to bulk up. Don't believe the YouTubers, they are clickbaiting.@Bobby_italy
Did you manage?
There are so many different people saying different stuff on doing 100 pushups a day. Some say it will considerably develop your muscles, some say you shouldn't do it because you're not giving your muscles the time to rest. As such, they suggest doing pushups one day out of two.
Which to believe?
Anyone that knows what they're talking about can help out?
@Madame Peccato do 10 sets NOW
Okay I definitely can't do this.
My arms died at the 22nd rep of the 3rd set
I'll rest a bit and do another set, see what happens. I'll go back to sets of 20 tomorrow.
Day 1
I have just done 10 sets of 20, with 5 minutes rest between each set. I'm beat. I was very close to muscle failure, and I definitely didn't do all of them with good form. I must have half assed 20 of them
I've had a couple moments where I felt like giving up. This was omega hard. Perhaps I should do these in the afternoon? I never eat breakfast so I'm in a fasted state.
