It feels like I'm going to get better soon and start again .. I'm planing to start over from the beginning, since the delay is to big from my last time going for the challenge.

i was somewhere around 2650-2700 and i lost count so ill restart from 2650
Made it to 2000!
Wow, that's really like right?!
8000 more to go ! :D
It's nice that you're setting yourself milestones. It helps to keep you motivated.
Yea!Quote:

So 2 sets of knuckles ( 50 per set) so it's 100 per day.
Did 2200 !
Starting knuckles from tomorrow onwards :)
Seems like lesser people are doing this or continuing this :(
Tomorrow I am going to do 20 pushups on the hour for 9 hours during the day
I see!Quote:

So.. 2 sets of 100.
I've did a total amount of : 2400
You guys seem to be absolutely blazing through these.
Are you sure you're perfecting your technique so that you get the most out of it, both physically and mentally? It shouldn't be easy. Sure, it's a challenge to see how long it takes you to complete 10,000, but it's not a race.
It's no good doing 10,000 shitty pushups in say, a month. It'd be better to do 10,000 nye on perfect pushups in 3 months and come out generally physically fitter.
Well, I've decided to start over from tomorrow, will take a bit slowly since I havent recovered fully from my last injury.
2600,
own my own pace.
2800,
yea man.
It's gonna be 3000! :d
three thousand!
Wha...
Seems so dead ;(
3000 :D
@drzboy, you do know that there has to be at least 1 day (24hs) until you post again in the same thread, otherwise it is double posting .. anyway. I've been pretty busy with studies lately and have had the time to do much pushups. I'm currently at 300.
There's always time for pushups! Even if you stagger them throughout the day. Doing so will have a poor effect on your muscle growth, but at least you're doing them rather than lazing out. :wink:
True :] But still rushing them will do no good.
What do you mean rushing? Because there's one thing for that, that forcing your strength in push can make you slim and better in doing that. (mean for that slim and better is, instead of pushing up slow, when you push up quick by forcing yourself for it will make you stronger)
@extratra, it's already the next day, so it wasn't a double post...
If it is, my apologies.
3200! :D
ill update my count when i get home, im at an engagement party, and it blows.
When I told him not to make post one after another I meant not to double post since, when I told him that between his last posts there were 20hs, not 24. About the rushing thing, I meant that if you over do it you can easily get an injury. You done believe me or think I'm wrong? Ask everyone who knows a thing or two about sports and training.
More reps = muscular endurance.
More weight = muscular strength.
Thanks for cleaning up!! And you guys keep training!
sounds like fun + healthy
i do pushups every night since couple of weeks started with 10 and then arms were worn out xD
now i do 50 push ups each time before i go to bed
ill start counting today
I was hella bored and i decided to do till 3500!
Good luck @ DemonMithos ;)
3500? Thats nice .. I havent done any recently. :/
I've been lacking too quite recently. Seems I've hit a wall of muscular capability. My capability has dropped quite a lot in the gym and I'm really finding it hard to motivate myself through this, hence my lack of pushups. Managed to do 15 this morning, that's how little. :$:
Not to mention, it's the first I've done in 3 days. :mellow:
Don't give up!!! That's the worst thing you can do. Just keep them going, I havent done any in 2 days or so, but I'll find the time to keep with me schedule and continue with the push ups.
Going to try and restrict the amount I do per day, from say 40/50 to about 20.
Would be ok. I got faith in you!
Gotta get my ass off RZ and start doing some push ups my self. lol
Why not do some?Quote:

3900.
Increased 1 more set.
In future i'm gonna post my updates once per 3 days limit.
Wow, I don't know if some of you guys actually do push-ups or just faking it to say something.
Bitch please, I'm on my way to 10. :3
Why should anyone fake this? I personally dont see a point in faking such thing. There's nothing to prove here, since we aren't like racing or something.
Everybody has different levels of capability. It annoys me that some people can't accept that, but whatever. Everyone has to start somewhere though. People just need to remember, that they were in the same place as the newbies at one point!
I got too tired and my muscles are starting to ache so i only did 200 within 3days so it's 4100.
fffff T_T
Resting for a day or so before i re-continue.
You should consider drinking water and stretching before every session of training and after it.
I'd drink water but i'd usually forget to stretch. :ehh:Quote:

Not done any in a week. Haven't been to the gym in a few days either due to other plans and it being closed. I'll restart on wednesday when the gym re-opens.
Seems I'm no the only one passing on doing some push ups. Been a bit busy lately with studies and work on my game.
How do you get ripped muscles but not being too bulky lol?
@Tribalist, do more reps then usual, but don't overdo it as it may hurt your muscles.
4600.
I agree with exclamatio, its not only a physical challenge but also a mental one. Without a strong mental will you'll not make it to 100 push ups in most cases. Never go for 100 on your first rep and always stretch without stretching you will damage your muscles more. Going for 100 is fine but never work your body to hard otherwise it will do more damage then good. Also don't expect to do a rep of 100 if you've never done push ups or dont do many. 20-50 reps is smart in fact because of lack of muscular stress. Stress will cause pain, also it pushing to much will cause less reps to be made in turn that will lower your ability of growth daily.
Been some time since i visited this thread cause it was pretty inactive yeah.
I only rushed and pushed myself till 6500 and i completely lost my enthusiasm/motivation to continue this challenge.
Uhhh, what?Quote:

But it wouldn't really be good to push yourself too hard.Quote:

Like he said, yes, you are going to damage your muscles, but you can never push yourself too hard in terms of strength.
You tend to damage your muscles by hammering that one particular muscle group. In this case, you are (chest & arms) so it's ideal to take a day or two break out of your schedule, particularly if you're doing hundreds of pushups each day.
There's going to be a limit, in which you simply cannot lift that weight - the laws of physics prevent it! :P:
If I'm being honest with you, I absolutely forgot about this challenge. I'll resume it in the next few weeks when I begin the gym again and I'll start frequently coming back with results and whatnot. I will end up doing the 10,000 push-ups but it's beyond me how long it'll take. I'm definitely up for the challenge though!
I want to give this a go because I've been doing a few pushups in recent weeks. I'm a naturally weak person, so I can only really do 20 at a time, then a minute break and another 15-20, but then after that everything's tiring. It's better than I was able to do a month ago but it still feels relatively inefficient.
I'll try to start this officially in a couple of days time and hopefully get to that target...eventually.
That's absolutely fine. Just remember, you've gotta start somewhere and the "experts" were once in your position!
Try to perfect your technique before muscular endurance. Why bother smashing out 1,000 wrong pushups when 100 perfect pushups are more beneficial?
Just started - 10.
Will do 10 every hour.
20 now.
Maybe I should start on this..
60 now, did a bit extra. Can feel it.
I workout, and I'm in a good shape, not big big like mr.universe, but Im in a good form.
To do 10.000 pushups it would probably take 4-5 months for me.
10.000 pushups in 1 year probably
I'm doing Pavel Tsatsouline's "Hit the deck", which means I'm doing about 50% of my max pushups every hour from time time when I get up to when I go to the bed. Which means I'm doing about 240 pushups daily. It's a two-week programme.
So it's about 3500 pushups in just two weeks :)

Totally fucked my diet up this summer. Got off work for 2 weeks due to going to Turkey and eating like a tank on their traditional food, then coming home and resting, returning to work and then resuming my lazy diet yet again. Going to do this starting next week, going to be helpful getting warmed up for the rest of winter.
240 seems really low... Lets do some mathQuote:

my max is 40 hardstyle pushups, multiplied with 12 hours a day.. do I sleep 12 hours a day? no, but it's highly likely I'll skip one or two repeats daily
also it's not the point to do as much as possible in two weeks, frequency and % per day varies and for a good reason, you can't just senselessly workout the same muscle for two weeks

and honestly, I'd like to see an average person do 30 proper hardstyle pushups :) wouldn't be ashamed for that either

World Records for Push-Ups
World record for continuous push-ups is more than 10K. Wut.
World record in 1 year is 1.5 million, which is ~4100 a day. Wat.
World record in 30 minutes is 2354. :zippy: I feel like calling bullshit on those.
74 per minute is doable, but 30 minutes straight? who knows..
The videos of "world record" push-up holders on YouTube I've seen have shown people going between the angles of 60 degrees and 80 degrees. I'm not sure how world records are judged, but from my understanding they require a complete push-up, from straight (not locked) to 90 degrees and back, which in proper form is like 5x as difficult as a quarter of a push-up like those videos demonstrate. It's also hard to do more than one per second for any extended period of time unless you have incredible cardiovascular fitness. Even one every 3 seconds is a pretty high pace for most.Quote:

230 pushups at monday, 300 yesterday, today I'm supposed to do 24 every 45 minutes, which should be about 340 in total.. I'm starting to doubt I can do this.. it's called the evil russian challenge for a reason. Today is one of the worst day though, tomorrow I'm supposed to do only 25% of my maximum.

I'm actually using "hardstyle" pushups since I hurt my shoulder. I've only been doing sets of 5 reps but it's getting me there!
Insane.
I did a shit load after eating today, going to rest, drink and get back to it in a little while.
