    Welcome!

    Do you want to become more fit and take on the daily discipline of doing morning push-ups?

    Here's how it will work:

    1. Set a number of push-ups that you can realistically do every morning (for example 5, 10, or 20).
    2. Set how your push-ups will increase as you progress (for example add on one push-up per day or every week).
    3. Commit to doing the push-ups every morning (post your commitment on your journal or this thread!)
    4. Record your progress here on this thread or on your journal.
    5. If you miss a day or have trouble doing them, post about it and keep moving forward!

    Some other ideas:
    • You could do one push-up for everyday that you have off PMO.
    • You could put a link to this thread in your signature so you can track your progress.
    • You could set a goal such as when you get to 50 push-ups, you don't add anymore.
    • If you forget to do them in the morning, do them later in the day!!
    I hope you will join me in taking on this challenge, I will mark my progress on this page and I hope you do the same. I think there is something really awesome about starting the day off with morning push-ups.

    My personal goals and plan:

    I want to start with a baseline of 20 push-ups per morning and add one per day for everyday I have off PMO. I have 3 days off PMO today so that means I need to do 23. I have already done this. My ultimate goal is to awake each morning and after my prayers and meditation do 100 push-ups.

    Great idea!

    I'm going to commit to a baseline of 20 pushups each morning, plus however many days I've been PMO free time's by two. (starting from now... as I doubt I can do 400ish pushups)

    If I can't manage it in one go, I'll take 60 second breaks until they're completed.

    So today is 20 + (1 x 2) = 22.

    Today: Completed in one set. Feels good!

    I'll start with 10 push-ups and add 1 for each day of no porn = 16 push-ups for today.

    16 pushups day 1
    17 day 2
    18 day 3 (they are getting harder to do)
    19 day 4
    20 day 5
    Now I will do sets in consecutive order. Sets tied to my no P goal and the other set a baseline of 10 push-ups.
    21 day 6 (10 - normal 6 - "proper way" 5 - "proper way")
    22 day 7 - missed
    23 day 8 - missed
    24 day 9 - 69 - 20 x 3 sets. 9 x 1 set "proper way" (pw) to make up for 2 days skipped
    25 day 10
    26 day

    Yeah, it looks like you have the "link" part down. If you want to name it something like "push-up challenge," simply write push-up challenge and highlight it and then press the link button. This saves you from having the long link in your signature.

    I'm going to start doing this. Been a bit lax with exercise recently so need to build the habit back. Though I do super slow reps so I might do less.

    I suggest you watch this, because this way you handle the right muscle areas. Peace!

    I was doing morning push-ups a while ago, but fell out of the habit. I'll jump in here though, you guys will keep me motivated.

    20 + (day of August) = 21 today, done

    Im doing 50 everyday for 1 week and today is the last day. Not doing straight 50 though. Just trying to achieve that number.

    I notice that I am feeling more tough. Holding my shoulder and it feels hard

    Checking in for today.

    20 + (4 x 2) = 28 pushups. Completed in one set.

    I've switched to doing these on my fists with elevated feet to add a bit of resistance.
