8 sets of 25 with 4 minutes rest between each set. I like this routine, it's hard but not impossible. It requires me to put effort into it but doesn't make me want to quit.
See you tomorrow.
Day 5
Today my arms dropped dead at the 140th rep. There are reasons for this, but there's no point in writing them here. I'll come back stronger tomorrow.
I set my mind up on 4 sets of pushups one day one of two.
I do 16 pushups for the first two sets, followed by 2 sets to failure.
I did not like it at the beginning. Now I do. It feels good and puts you in a "go get it" mindset at the beginning of the day.
I love this challenge...Damn hard when you first start out but perseverance really pays off.
My routine 3 times a week with pushups is this:
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.
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'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
Would like to get to 20 a minute eventually...feel great and i'm 50 this year so age doesn't matter..

Definitely keeps things interesting and breaks it down in to manageable chunks.Good luckThat's an awesome way of doing 500 push-ups! I'll give that a go today by reaching failure on each set.
Never stop doing this.
I will do it tomorrow. It is a very impressive goal, but reachable if I push through.Time to up the ante against scrawniness and embrace 10 sets to failure.
And lots of nourishing, high-cal food - the most important part.
I've been going to the public pool 6 nights a week. We friend and are there to water walk and exercise.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.
Ok i did my 10 sets. 2 of 15 pushups + 8 to failure. It was nice. I will adopt it as routine.Time to up the ante against scrawniness and embrace 10 sets to failure.

I took 3 days off. I've been doing 200+ pushups daily for the past 3 months and my arms started hurting as soon as I got on the floor.@Madame Peccato still going at it, aren't you?
I happen to have bought a kettlebell. Is it a good idea to do the 10 sets to failure + kettle exercises, or could the exhaustion slow muscle growth?

I'm beat today I've done 100
Ok so today I did my 2 sets of 15 pushups + 8 to failure + played around with the kettlebell (swings, russian twists, shoulder press).I wouldn't worry about that as long as you're not injuring yourself and are eating and sleeping well. If it feels too much, do the push-up routine every other day and work out with the kettlebell on the off days.

I think Imma buy a heavier kettlebell, cuz mine is 4 kg and let's be honest it's ridiculous
