Same as last time - Goal is to hit 10,000 push-ups for the month; ~333/day average.

Post in thread and you can each update your progress. If someone wants to track everyone, that's great.

I'm in for 1000 if someone wants to help with the other 9k! Serious question, how will this effect your other training/ work / life? 10 sets off 33 each day seems like a lot!

Do you just skip chest day the whole month? 14 push-ups every half hour over 12 hours during each day for 30 straight days doesn't seem like it'd kill your chest, but it is considerably more push-ups than I do on an everyday basis.

Day 1: 330 total
Day 16: 1,650 total

ETA- slowed down considerably after 3 days due to soreness in the gym, and now I'm just focusing on perfecting my technique each rep. Will probably only end up around 3-3.5K total for the month, but not a bad start. Do y'all take a month off after completion, then go at it again?

This isn't going well for me.

I forgot to do it 3 days this week. From now on I'll be a silent contributor.

I've been doing 30 every 30 minutes at work. So 60 an hour x 10 hours the first 2 days. I did 200 Saturday and Sunday. So sitting at 1600 coming into today. I've done 480 so far today, 8 hours x 60. 2080 with 120 more to do today.

Hit 1000 for the month today. It's been good assistance/ deload work.

Not a fan of this. You're going to severely overwork your chest and triceps by doing this every single day and even possibly hurt yourself.
