If you did one pushup about every 4 minutes (24 hours straight for 30 days), you'd reach your goal per day and don't have to worry about doing 50-100 at a time. Pace yourself guys and this is totally doable with no real muscular effort

You can do it all sorts of ways. The easiest to me and the most doable would be doing 24 pushups on the hour starting a 9am and ending at 10pm. That's when most people are typically awak and alert. That would put you at 336 a day, which would be 10,080 by end of month. 24 pushups isnt as mentally taxing on the hr as doing 60 every 3 hrs and I would think you'd be more likely to stick to it.

In all seriousness, I'm trying to decide what would be the most efficient strategy here. Assuming I would try to stick to 334 per day to stay on pace... I could probably bust out 80-100 or so to start but then I would be pretty spent. How long do you rest before starting up again? How many could you get on the 2nd set? I have no idea.

I'm thinking maybe do 11-12 each minute and then you're done in a half hour (is that even doable?). Or 5-6 per minute and done in one hour.

For me, it comes down to being able to get away from work and find an empty meeting room during the day. Some days I had to get them all in in the evening at home which I burned out on pretty quick.

That would require you to go without sleeping for a month though
