Current Events > Starting on the 1st I'm going to do 100 push-ups a day

(+) Yeah! (+)

Any suggestions?

1) I need to know how to do a good push-up
2) Should I see how many I can do in a row to sent a limit or just do 20 at a time?
3) What are some good stretches I can do? Do them before or after?

if you do: 100 Push-Ups, 100 Sit-Ups, 100 Squats, and run 10KM, you might become a superhero

I don't need to run. I already walk over 10miles a day

Take one or two days break per week, or your results will be much worse than without breaks. Also, i suggest magnesium citrate after push ups. I remember when i used to work out, i recovered a lot faster when i took it.

use your time more productively

What the hell is magnesium citrate?

Yeah, I don't think so. Thank you for the suggestion, though

Start at something lower and work your way up. Don't push yourself.

Ha!

That was an unintentional pun, btw. I was serious when I said you should start low and find out what your limits are, and work from there.

Come on, bro

Work your way 'up'
Don't 'push' yourself

I literally didn't think of it when I typed it, but that's not the point anyway. I'm trying to give you legit advice.

Why start on the 1st? Why not start on the 31st?

Wrong words

I don't want to run because I already have to walk everywhere.

Whoops!

I saw a YouTube video about people doing it for a month strait. That's what I wanted to do and see how it goes.

If you don't already do push-ups, you're not going to make it to 100. Even if you do, you're going to be so sore the next day, you're going to need like 5 days to heal.

I'm not doing them in a row, just throughout the day. I could legit do 50 in a row right now, and have just a few weeks ago. I'm expecting to be sore, that's good, right?

Well, if you can do 50 in a row, I believe in you. If you were a dude who never exercises and suddenly decided to do 100 push-ups a day, that just doesn't seem realistic.

How long are going to do those push ups on daily basis? Even if you can do effortlessly 100 push ups everyday, it doesn't mean you shouldn't take one day of per week for your muscles to recover. If you don't, you won't gain as much.

The plan is to do 20 at a time, 5 times during the day. I can bang them out in like 40 seconds right now, drunk, lol. I can easily do 20 5 times a day

And trust me, once I start feeling in better shape, I'm going to just want to do more and more stuff to feel even better. This is just a boost that I need. Something easy to get it kick-started, you know?

lol don't do the push ups spread throughout the day, that's lame and doesn't really count. Actually push yourself to do 20 at a time with 30-60 second rests in between. Also, there's a better way to do it than 20 at a time, but I'm no exercise expert.

Just grab one of those free 100 push ups a day apps and work your way up. I did that and in 2-3 months I was busting out 130-150 push ups 3-4 times a week (give yourself rest days, don't overdo it) and if someone was challenging me I could usually do 50-70 without a rest. But Work your way up and don't space it throughout the day lmao.

Okay

Thank you for some actual advice

And again, this is just to kick-start this. It's an easy goal to make me work harder. Which is what I said earlier -

But yeah, I'm just trying to hit a goal right now.

Still don't know why nobody has answered my other questions, though.

Eh, kinda. Soreness (DOMS) is the result of using muscles hard when they haven't been in a while. If you're sticking with this on a semi-daily schedule (allowing for recovery and stuff) after a week or two your soreness post workout will be almost nonexistent despite your muscles being properly fatigued. soreness is only an indicator when you're first starting out.
