re: 30 Days- 10,000 Push Ups

Week 1 (4/1-4/7)

100
150
200
200
150
200
250

Total: 1250

Starting from basically zero, no gym or fitness routine, trying to ease my way into it. Other than the last 150 the rest were all in sets of 10.

This week I will do sets of 15 and try to get up to the 300-400 daily range.

My wrist was killing me mid week due to a ganglion cyst, but it must have worked itself out, as soon as I posted here about it the pain went away.

Congrats to all you meatheads cranking out 300+ daily, and to you gorillas knocking out the pullups, that is some badass shite.

Welp.

My crawfish eating and drinking on Saturday killed my neck the last two days so I didn't do jack shite.

However, I'm already at 250 push ups for the day with a goal of 500 to help catch back up.

ETA: Had a little extra juice in the tank so I knocked out 550.

2705 total ~338/day.

100 so far today

365 on day 9 for a total of 3135.

What is everyone'd routine? Reps per set? Do you cluster your sets... Like 3-5 sets at the different times in the day?

I do about 5 sets of 30 before work over the course of~45 minutes with coffee and news. I then do 5-8 sets of 30 at night, but spread out over a longer time, maybe 2 hours.

Well I stuck it out and today was my last day. I ended up with a couple hundred over 10k. I can’t say that every day was perfect, but I grinded it out and made up the push ups when I needed to. My biggest thing this time around was making sure I was always maintaining correct form.

I’ll post some before and afters sometime tomorrow if anyone is interested. I definitely have been getting some compliments from people saying how much better I look in the chest/shoulders area. I feel like I have lost a little fat, although eating better would have helped more. I do feel like the fat on my chest and stomach has definitely gotten smaller. When I’m pinching it, I can feel a major difference in how much is behind my skin.

I started the challenge at 193 and today I weighed in at 186. The lightest I’ve weighed during the challenge was 184.

To those pushing through, keep grinding!!! I’m happy that I initially posted it here and got so many people to join in. Continue to push, it gets easier.

bounced back with 390 pushups and 60 pullups today

tally: 3044 and 156

Did 480 today.

I got in 480 this morning.

It's too late to add this in for this month's challenge, but a co-worker showed me this push-up board on Amazon yesterday:

Does anyone have experience using something like this? I think it would be nice to have if I ever decide to do this again.

So I’m out. I’ll try again in June or something.

Taking care of newborn, wife (c-section) and 5 year old just zapped me too much and I’m too far behind now to realistically reach 10k.

I got a total of 2,050 done the first 10 days though.

I’m doing the slow mwthod. Lock arms out take a second and hit nose and chest to the ground. I can only get 25 before my form goes to shite. So it’s 10-25 per set for me. Plus I’m old and seem to injure myself at the worst times.

Should cross 5k tomorrow. Doing lots of sets obviously.
