The Push-Up Daily Challenge

I was in the similar situation as you 2-3 years ago, buddy. My advice is you just keep doing the pushups every single day because in the long run lets say a week to a month of doing the pushups consistently, you'll eventually be able to increase the quantity without rest even, as your strength and endurance will keep increasing simultaneously. What is also substantial is your form. Always do the right form and watch from the experts. That said, just keep challenging yourself.

For example, you can do this >

Try doing 5 pushups first. Then rest for 10-15 seconds. Do 5 pushups again. Rest the same amount. Do 5 again. Then you get 15 in one workout. Try repeating after a short interval. You may be doing other things on this interval. Repeat the 15. Then you get 30 now. You can call that a day.

Repeat this 30 a day for 3 days. Take a rest day for the week.

Gradually increase that 5 into 6 per set. It depends on you what number you really want and can push through. Just make these small changes day by day and I gurantee you you will be able to endure and enjoy doing pushups after the struggle of improving.

 

What's a plank push-up?

 

I didn't exercise today and I feel sad for it, as I spent too much time before watching YouTube to wake up ad I had a bad night sleep last night and had to bring my Girlfriends keys before I go to work & thinking I don't have time to exercise properly I just went and relapse, with only hingnsite that I could of had done my exercises, get ready m, have breakfast and get the keys to my gf & gotten to work on time, I just using a bad night sleep as an excuse to fall back into my vices & I regret that I didn't just do my exercises straight away using I'm tired as an excuse.

I have done 31 straight days with no rest, so pleased with that & I will work on doing more days without rest of the W.A.T.C.H protocol/Light Dumbbell Routine & to fall into my vices of YouTube before to wake up & porn in general.

I'LL NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!!!

 

Basically doing push-ups while simultaneously doing a plank. Really good workout. Hits the core muscles a lot too as compared to the other variations of push-ups.

I recommend to do the 50-pushups-challenge from darebee.
https://darebee.com/challenges/50-push-ups.html
That is how I started with the pushups - and it worked!! I could later reach almost 50 pushups but than I was exhausted And the best: no muscle soreness during the time because you make little steps which becomes bigger and bigger after time. You can give it a try!

 

Looks very interesting might try and do that to work on my core more.

 

2x10 reversed pushups
1x20 regular pushups
3x15 diamond pushups
1x24 staggered pushups (12 per arm)
1x30 staggered pushups (15 per arm) (new record!!)
1x90 secs one arm push hold (45 secs per arm)
2x20 archer pushups (10 per side) (second set was effortful, shit!)
1x40 one arm pushup on a wall (20 per side)

 

This is a great and fun challenge, i once done something similar to this (100 burpees per day for 1 month) it was quite hard in summer with 30 degrees in my room haha, now its winter i might start doing this doesnt seem to hard

Just need to work on having the time to do it and not getting distracted by YouTube or porn before exercising, as it takes an hour of my time, which really makes the difference.
