<div class="bbWrapper">I didn&#039;t see this thread till today, but, part of my 2021 plan, is to do 100 a day, every day of the year.<br /> <br /> Haven&#039;t missed a day, and don&#039;t plan to.<br /> Maybe after 3 months, I&#039;ll see if I can do 200.<br /> <br /> takes some time, but, I like it. Daily discipline.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper"><b>Day 2</b><br /> <br /> 10 sets of 20 done. Today was slightly easier than yesterday and I botched less reps. I&#039;m gonna keep doing them around this time (5 - 6 PM) and maybe start doing sets of 25 in a week or so.</div>

 

[Madame Peccato]

<div class="bbWrapper"><b>Day 3</b><br /> <br /> I had less time today, so I did 8 sets of 25, with 4 minutes rest between each set. The last set was pure torture, and my last 10 reps definitely did not have good form. I felt like my left arm was about to detach from my body <img src="/community/imgs/emoticons/em-rofl.png" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rofl:" title="ROFL :rofl:" data-shortname=":rofl:" /></div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I&#039;ve done 500 in one day (just as a challenge) - was interesting<br /> at that time I would (random amounts) be able to push 70 in one set - and 50 or 60 the next set - 100/day would not have been hard, but I preferred a larger amount and every 2nd day (for muscle gains) <br /> doing 100/day would be better for longevity/cardio - I should try this again - will post if I go ahead <img src="/community/imgs/emoticons/em-smile2.png" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-shortname=":)" /></div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I love fitness challenges. I do weight lifting 3 days a week and cardio/boxing the other 3 and rest sunday. I got my start with this kinda daily thing when I was a junior in HS I had an AAU coach who was in the marines and jacked. Needless to say I listened to everything he said. He had me do 250 pushups each morning before school and a strict diet. It was very helpful from both a physical and mental standpoint. I also believe that people should relatively master bodyweight movements before even touching a bench press or squat rack.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper"><b>Day 4</b><br /> 8 sets of 25 with 4 minutes rest between each set. I like this routine, it&#039;s hard but not impossible. It requires me to put effort into it but doesn&#039;t make me want to quit. <br /> <br /> See you tomorrow.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I love this challenge...Damn hard when you first start out but perseverance really pays off.<br /> My routine 3 times a week with pushups is this:<br /> <br /> When the second hand strikes 12 on my watch i knock out 17 pushups which takes around 20 seconds. I then rest for the remainder of the minute which is 40 seconds and when the second hand reaches 12 i repeat for 30 mins giving a total of 510.<br /> <br /> I started off with 10 and struggled to make 7-10 mins in a row but persistence makes you stronger for sure. On occasions i&#039;ll mix it up and drop the reps to 10 pushups followed by 10 squats which leaves me around 20 seconds rest before going again.....dripping with sweat at the end..lol<br /> Would like to get to 20 a minute eventually...feel great and i&#039;m 50 this year so age doesn&#039;t matter..</div>

Think you now get it, I try to do it until I&#039;m at 20 push-ups. However, I need longer breaks after around 15 push-ups otherwise I have no chance.<br /> When I reach 20 push-ups I do everything again but the other way. So then 19 push-ups, 45sec/1 min break, 18 push-ups, 45sec/1 min break, etc. until I&#039;m at one push-up. That&#039;s around 420 push-ups and after that I&#039;m completely dead.<br /> <br /> But I can&#039;t do that every day, try to do it at least 3 times a week in addition to some basic weight training and some cardio.</div>

Plateaued as in I can do 8-12 reps with 16kg but not with 18+kg. Make sure that the weights you&#039;re lifting are causing you to reach failure in that rep range. If you can easily do 10-12 reps for each set, it&#039;s time to add some more and get it down to 8. <br /> <br /> Harder = more gains.<br /> <br /> I&#039;d buy dumbbells if I were you so that you can constantly add weight as you improve. And trust me, you&#039;ll go through the weights quickly, especially when doing curls.</div>
