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.
