Just finished up my last reps seconds before midnight. About an hour ago I decided to add to my day total and went on a race to set a new personal best tonight. At 23:57 I checked my totals and had already set a new PB, but I was at 26,950...and I thought...I have 3 minutes to grab 50 more reps and get to 27k...so I did 55. Finished up the day with 1240 reps That got me to 27,005 YTD Very curious to see what I feel like when the alarm goes off in 5 hours  Tomorrow may be a light day. |

Quoted: you will find this happening more and more. I bet by year's end, you'll be knocking out 500 in about 35 minutes. Quoted: Quoted: I got up late today and started with a set of 50 as I was getting ready for work. Been rrading this thread and after seeing some of the sets you guys are doing I told myself to go for another 50...and I just did that. So...first time ever for me, two sets of 50 l, back to back, maybe 3-4 minutes of rest in-between. Off to work now...this was a good start. Hell...I am going to do another set right now.... you will find this happening more and more. I bet by year's end, you'll be knocking out 500 in about 35 minutes. I took a look back and saw that the first time I was able to do a straight set of 50 reps was on 2/23. At the time, it was such an accomplishment that I found it notable. And above, when I could finally do two sets of 50 in a row I was excited. Today, about a month later, most sets are 50 or a little more. I've gone days with 10-15 sets in a row of 50. It's pretty crazy how fast the body gets used to the abuse And you are totally right...when you start doing the bigger sets, it adds up fast. I started this journey planning to get 100 per week. As it stands now I am averaging over 350 per day. My new target is 100,000 by 12/31/24. This week I am going to try to bump up my sets to 55 reps. By the end of the year I want to be able to do a set of 100. In other news, today I am clearing space in the garage for a pull up rack. Will start that soon. What a year.

The time will come where a set of 100 becomes normal. I know it is difficult to believe, but I'm expecting that sometime this year, you'll knock out 300 in your first 3 sets of a day's workout. Incredible progress, Sir. |

The numbers don't mean much except to be able to guage and push. That is a LOT of push-ups! |

Quoted: 10x30 and 10x40 March 15 - 700 2024 Total - 42,716 Edit... Added 10x30 March 15 Total - 1,000 2024 Total - 43,016 I dislike this time of year and I am not sure why. So...I have been doing 10 rounds multiple times today and doing low-energy chores in between. 34x30 over the past several hours... 10x30 over 10 minutes times 3 and then figured I was close enough to break 1,000 so I added four more and a set of 20. March 16 - 1,040 2024 Total - 44,056 |

Quoted: I think I forgot to reset again. Taking a week off sucks. The bruise color is finally going away. Edit: damn, I have done 240 this month! I went at it the first week. Quoted: Quoted: It looks like your monthly total is on track to be the best yet! Edit: damn, I have done 240 this month! I went at it the first week. |
We will see how the night plays out. I've spent all day cleaning out the garage, moving furniture, moving cabinets...and a chest freezer...and lumber...and soil...and gardening crap...and tools.....and doing minor construction tasks.  I still have energy but my back is telling my brain that it's time to stop being vertical  Did a bunch of pushups early today. Will try to get some more after dinner. |

I keep forgetting to update. Week of Feb 25th - 550 Week of Mar 3rd - 650 Week of Mar 10th - 550 Stilling most of the reps done at work averaging 125-140 per night 3 day one week 4 days the next. At home, days off, doing 75 to 90 per day. I am trying to keep in at 550 one week and 650 next. This pace keeps me challenged without doing any damage. Still taking 1 day a week off. |

Update for the week ending 3/16: Finally averaged 200 per day for the week, with one catch-up day of 600 in four hours. That was a workout. Also, in true arfcom fashion, this thread is costing me money. I bought a pull up bar. Figured I needed to balance out all the push exercises with some pulling. Good new: I can still knock out a set of 12 legit pull ups. 1,400 last week 9,500 ytd |

1952. 65 reps in 1:03. 2000. 65 reps in 0:53. 2010. 60 reps in 0:52. 2020. 60 reps in 0:49. 12750 YTD. 13000 tomorrow. That'll leave me 11 days to get to 15,000, which is less than 200/day. 15000 in 3 months puts me at 60k by year's end, which is higher than my goal. Being ahead of schedule is a good thing
