I started doing 100 daily pushups back on August 18.
When I’d done that for 30 days I said to myself - let’s do 120/day! That wasn’t a large difference and I did that for 30 days as well.
On October 17 I stepped it up and started doing 200 pushups per day. All strict, with my feet up on a chair for added resistance.
Today, after 17 days of 200/day, I realized that means I’ve done 10,000 pushups in total! This is over 77 days in total.
I’m going to keep on doing 200/day until I’ve done it for 30 days (13 more days), after that I haven’t decided yet.
I am using this app is this good https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.strzelba.push_ups
I feel the way I already train isn't doing wonders for me and I just believe that being in a cool environment like this one would help in being me discipline i usually trained every 4 days now I'll do push ups daily with results at the end
Current physical: 130-135 I'll update weekly and if anyone's down to buddy up with the whole process let me know 👍🏿
I wanna get good at pushups for the LAPD fitness exam and am on day 2 of 100pushups.com. I read the communist article about greasing the groove and all that, but it goes against everything I've been taught about how muscle is built and doing less reps but to failure. Are there documented examples of people using 100pushups.com to go from zero to hero?
For context, I am at 26 pushups straight starting out.
Done 💪
I am not leaving until I reach 100 pushups
So I’m on day 19 of 100 pushups daily. I’ve got no end goal in mind I’m just going to do 30 days see what’s new. Then continue on my journey daily. But I question if I’m benefiting now from 100 cause I can do about 75 with one 30 second break at 50 quite easily. And once I hit 100 I feel the pump and my arms are tired. But the next day I’m 100% recovered no tiredness at all. I sleep 8 hours & eat decent amount of protein. So I’m wondering if it’s okay to add an extra 25? Or should I trust the process and just stick with 100 daily? No matter how recovered I feel.. Lemme know what you think!

I keep reading that it's best to take a day off after doing a whole mess of push-ups. I've also read that it's okay to do them everyday. What's the consensus?
After building up for a few days I finally did it today, 100 push-ups in sets of 10 with a couple minutes in between sets. FKYEAH! That's what I'm talking about!
Done 💪
So I started today off super good with my plan unfortunately idk if I can keep it up as I’ve really damaged my foot playing football and I’m going to have to get an Xray tomorrow I’m very disappointed but it can’t be helped ig I’ll just have to make up the lost time when I get better
Last spring I was doing 100 push-ups a day regularly. Did 2600 last March. Loved my new body. Slacked off a bit over the summer, but now I'm back, baby!
Inspired by Feisty-Caregiver, I started building back up to 100 a couple days ago. I'm old and a bit creaky so I don't go to fast. Did 60 yesterday.
My style, and I hope this is legit, 100-pushup-wise, is to do sets of 10 with a couple minutes rest between sets until I get to whatever my goal for the day is. Sometimes I'll do 40 in the morning then the rest later in the afternoon? This still counts as 100 in a day, right? Last spring towards the end I was doing sets of 15. Best I ever did was 15 sets of 20 in 90 minutes or so. 300, my personal record.
Honestly, it's my #1 exercise. Full-body, doesn't take too long, I can do it on the floor whilst watching a baseball game. The 10-rep set gives me a hell of a buzz in no time, and I just string as many as I can together.
Thanks, Feisty-Caregiver, you got me started on another push-up journey. I"ll post periodically.
I will do 4 sets of 25 pushups with sets of 25 squats and situps in between good luck to me
I couldn't do pushups yesterday because of fever but now I am doing well and I did 100 first thing in the morning

Couldn't 100 pushups today because of pain in left shoulder. Only did 70.
I did massage with my massage gun to reduce the tightness in my muscles.

Seven years ago, back in college, a friend dared me to do a few push-ups. I was so weak at the time, and my form was terrible. Naturally, they laughed at me struggling do even 3 clean ones, and I felt pretty bad about how weak I was.
Since then, I’ve come a long way. Now, every time I knock out 10 solid pull-ups or over 25 push-ups in a row, I feel a sense of pride.
That said, there’s one thing I’ve noticed. While I’ve steadily improved at pull-ups, push-ups haven’t followed the same trajectory. Any idea why that might be?
Thanks to the person who motivated me to post stuff like this here. I forgot his username but you are a champ.
I know this sub is not my personal diary but I don't see much activity here, I post daily to set accountability for myself and to motivote few more people to do it regulary.
Take it as a challenge and add it to your daily routine.
Planks and pushups
