Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By macro: The first several sets were between 50-80, them a lot of sets of 50, finishing the night out with sets of 35 or 40. The last 10 sets were hard....and this morning I was pretty damn sore. Still haven't done any pushups yet today. Need to get my act together. Did a 5 mile walk at noon today with 35 lbs in my chest rig....that pretty much kicked what little ass I had left. Will try to get some reps in before the end of the night. Due to my schedule, I find it's easier to do 10 minute blocks throughout the day, but I haven't been getting sore. I need to mix it up and try your approach. |

After I hit 80 and still felt good, I thought I'd try to make 100. For the first time ever, I did an unbroken set of 100! |

The 5 mile death March yesterday whooped my butt harder than expected, and did a number on my lower back, so going moderate today. Did a few hundred pushups, and will try to get a few hundred more. Nothing crazy today. Just keeping pace. Going to hit the range and practice for an upcoming match, hit the grocery, make dinner, and then get in some more reps |

The hardest part is always making the time and getting started. The pace is a blessing and a curse. Why would you ruin the pace because you just don't feel like doing something? At the same time, sometimes, I just want to do nothing. |

I think I'm now gotten used to the 5 reps I added to my closed-hand pushups....so now I'm doing 15 x 3, 2x a week....
I still am getting used to the 15 dips I do at night on the bed... Not sure if I wanna add more pushups right now. I kinda want to move up my 8 pound weights to 10 pounds...starting with one workout I do on Wednesdays....Will probably start in May. Right now I have some pain (again) in one of my shoulders. |

Good work. Dips used to be one of my favorite exercises through about 2017, but now I avoid them as they seem to create more recovery opportunities than I want. |

The good - I started the day with a continuous set of 100 reps. Thays a first.
More good...I fasted 20 hours (for some blood testing) and before I broke my fast I did a 2 mile run. After the run I did a few more sets of pushups. Got to 350 but that's all I have for today. Going to call it a night and take a rest. Back at it tomorrow. 47,515 YTD |

This morning was for Murph prep.
Did all the following with 20 lbs in my rig: 56 pullups 200 pushups 90 squats That extra 20lbs makes it a lot harder than I thought  I have a month to get there. At this point I know I'll finish....just not sure how long it's going to take. I'm sure at least a few hours...if not several

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By CrustyKayak: Hahaha. I appreciate the appreciation. The thread and the people in it have helped me add good routines to my day. Honestly....this thread saved my life....and that isn't me being superfluous. Before this thread I was the heaviest I had ever been at any point in my life....was drinking pretty much daily....was smoking daily...hadnt exercised in years. My last bloodwork (from 2 years ago) came back with all kinds of red flags and I simply ignored it, and continued a downward slide. I had given up. In four months that all got turned around...all because M4ger asked the question...am I willing to commit to just 100 pushups each week. I have limited my drinking....I smoke way less....I work out every day...I've lost almost 40 lbs now....I'm running again....and most importantly, I got bloodwork done last week and no major red flags at all....cholesterol is even lower. Thanks to all you guys posting....the support, encouragement, and friendly competition has been amazing. I appreciate each of you. Wish we could all do a meetup at the end of the year to celebrate.
