Pushup Progress – 9th October

I have continued doing 100 pushups within 10 minutes. I reduced the time taken by doing more than 10 pushups in the first few sets.

Today, I finished 100 pushups with about 1 minute and 25 seconds to spare (I took a few seconds to get up and take the screenshot).

Pushup Progress – 2nd October

I mentioned in my previous post that I had downloaded a pushups app. I have continued to use it and made steady progress. Here are the app charts for the past few months.

At first, I was doing about 40 to 60 pushups per day.
This increased in August and I did up to 100 per day.
The upward trend continued in September with a high of 136 pushups in one day, as can be seen on the app’s home page.
My average is 72 pushups per day. This is simply total pushups divided by number of days. I think it includes the few days where I did not do any pushups at all.
I have been fairly consistent in doing pushups nearly every day. I only missed about 3 days.

Some additional stats that are not on the app:

I timed myself on how many pushups I could do in one minute. On my second or maybe third attempt (not on the same day as the previous attempt), I was able to do 35 pushups within one minute. I then went on to do 5 more after the minute was over, without getting up, to bring it to 40 pushups. So:

Pushups in one minute: 35
Pushups without getting up from pushup position: 40

Today, 2nd October 2021, after watching this video, I attempted to do 100 pushups within 10 minutes. The plan was to do 10 starting at the beginning of every minute, and I did that for I think the first six or seven sets, then I fell a little behind, but managed to catch up. I finished 100 with about 5 seconds to spare. 🙂

I now don’t consistently follow the training plan that the app offers, but I still use it to record pushups done.

Back

This site is back. The content that I had written on the original site got wiped out. My fault. I had not backed up (among other issues). I managed to retrieve some of the old content from the Way Back Machine, and hopefully, I will gradually upload some of those here.

I am also back to exercising. I started doing pushups and I am surprised at how few I could do in a row (less than 15). For comparison, a few(?) years back I could do 40 pushups within a minute.

I downloaded an app that tells me how many to do and keeps track for me. I have been doing 50 pushups per day for the past few days. Let’s see how things go.

I also hope to soon get back to running a little bit. I will almost certainly use the beginner programme that I used when I first started running about 10 years ago. I can no longer see it on verywellfit where I recently saw it, but here is a picture.
