The Push-Up Daily Challenge

Is it safe to do pushup daily?

I've heard that you only need to do it like 3 times a week to make the muscles relax !

 

1x22 regular pushups (Warm-Up)
1x22 diamond pushups (Warm-Up)
1x22 wide-grip pushups (Warm-Up)

2 minute one-arm-plankhold (1 minute per arm)
2x16 one-arm-pushups on 1/2 way (8 reps per arm)
2x16 one-arm-pushups with assisting fingertips of other arm (8 reps per arm)
1x20 one-arm-pushups with assisting knuckles of other arm (10 reps per arm)
1x20 wide staggered pushups (speak other arm wide forward) (10 reps per arm)
2x10 spiderman + staggered pushups
1x20 deep + staggered pushups (10 per arm)

 

Well if it isn't that much you do on one day, I don't see problems. But you're right, you need one or two days to get recovered.
I do pushups on every second or third day. After the day of pushups I do other exercises for others muscles e.g. day 1 pushups and triceps, day 2 abs only, day 3 legs + pushups, day 4 biceps and back, day 5 abs + pushups etc.

 

It depends on how well trained you are.
If you are not practical it is better to start low to avoid getting hurt.

A daily routine should not make muscle exhaust , otherwise the next day you could not repeat it.
But yet if you make muscle exhausted you could improve it.
So you see a daily routine should be part of a weekly scheduled routine .
Also it is unthinkable to train just chest and not all the others muscles.

Taking about 39:48

Didn't do the rows and Squat assisted chin-ups again, as felt like not doing them, but instead just done this routine and other random swinging with my Indian clubs
& the beginning exercise of this video of the 2 clubs going round the same side


I don't know why I am not feeling up for rowing recently, but still got a good workout with the clubs after my main routine.

I didn't forgot to do these straight after.

But feel I am not doing them effectively.

Body Resistance Bicep Curls



Directions from Molding a Mighty Arm (1932) by George F. Jowett:

“Stand erect with feet together and clasp the left hand in the right in front of the body with the palm of the right hand facing directly forward and the arms held straight down by the sides. From this position turn the right hand on the wrist upward in a cupping motion so the space between the hand and the forearm is shortened. Now begin to bend the arm at the elbow and raise the right hand toward the right shoulder. Throughout this motion press down with all the power of the left arm to resist the upward trend of the right arm. This will bring the right arm biceps into play very forcibly in order to overcome the left hand pressure. When the right hand is curled to the shoulder allow the arm to return back to the original position, but in doing so, resist the downward action, this time by pulling up with the left hand.

Perform this exercise reversing the hands so as to develop both arms equally.


Half a dozen repetitions will give you some idea of the effect this exercise has upon the biceps.”

40 reps for biceps

20 for forearms

Isometric Tricep Extension



Directions from Molding a Mighty Arm (1932) by George F. Jowett:

“Another triceps wakener is to grasp the wrist of the right hand by the left hand, passing the left arm across the small of the back. Stiffen the right arm and lift backwards trying to break the grip of the left hand. You will not be able to lift high but the triceps kick should be strongly felt.”

3 times holding for 12 seconds

Body Resistance Shoulder Shrugs



Directions from Molding a Mighty Back (1932) by George F. Jowett:

“Here is an exercise I always enjoy and one that I have practiced all my life. In fact, it was one of the first group of exercises I ever practiced. You may not care for it as much as some other, but I liked it because I could get tremendous resistance from it.

I first adopted the position of hands clasped behind the back, then drew the shoulders forward and allowed the chin to sink upon the chest. I would then tense and forcibly bring the shoulder blades together as much as I could, throwing back the head as this was done. See Fig. 15. This I would repeat anywhere from twelve to eighteen times, giving complete contraction and extension of these powerful shoulder muscles.”

As of my trigger finger recently I feel that i can't do the clubbell exercises, as I feel they are affecting my finger as well which I feel sad about as I was enjoying the new exercises. But got a doctors appointment about it next week to see what the best course of action is for it.

 

5 chin-ups X 4
10 Tricep-dips X 4
10 push-ups X 6

I feel like I'm struggling to get myself motivated to exercise sooner when I wake up, instead watching YouTube & it's causing issue with time where I'm not being more productive. I know what I should do and nor look at my phone fir entertainment and just use it for a log for my exercises, but I don't know to just apply it.
