Guys please ( cuz I no that girls and press up no dey mix at all ), since the lock down started I have been doing more of indoor exercises. When I started doing press up, I told myself that in one month of everyday practice I will able to do up 35 at a go. One month Don pass since, I am still struggling to reach 20. To be sincere, I was not always faithful to my schedule, like I can go two days without practice, but with the little effort I put in I am dissapointed with the results. I spoke with a friend who does sports often and he says that he can do up to 40, but he have done 70 out of fear one day that he ran in to trouble with Soldiers and they asked him to do press up as punishment. What do you think, am I just LAZY ( as my mom would say) or are my standards too high??

Gentle0wavez:
are my standards too high??

its been up to two months i did push up last, but i did 30 at a go this morning(quite low sha)

back when i used to be dedicated to it(during my IT period)

i made sure i did at least 45 every morning and 30 in the evening. i was very dedicated to it for like three months, so my tolerance got quite high.

TIPS: at the point you feel you cant go any further is when you have the chance to increase the number you can do, keep going.

i mix counting in reverse with the normal way of counting when doing push ups

1-10
20-1
1-5
5-1

Thanks bro, I will try your advice

You can try by breaking sets into reps, i.e You go for 10 reps in a set, rest and repeat until your arms give out, it's better than stressing yourself on straight 35 reps

I can do 70 straight. But i usually do 50 closed arm and 50 wide arm push up every morning. Total of 100. I can do up to 300 when I'm In the mood.

I go up to 400 in the sequence of 40-20-40(100) x4

Jesus, are you Samson

For now i can't push past 45 at a go.

I'm so lazy now.

20 push ups in the morning for a starter is not bad, don't overwork yourself.
All you need is to keep fit, don't kill yourself while at it because lots of people have cardiovascular health issues without knowing.

For me, I don't count while doing push ups and sit ups, I just stop when I feel I'm done but don't look at people like me because you don't know what we do. Just keep fit averagely and you'll be fine.

For me, it’s 20 per stretch..

3 stretches per day, which makes it 60 push ups in a day.. Just got through with afternoon stretch about 2:30pm..

Night stretch is usually about 6/6:30pm..

Me self no fit reach 8 push up am very lazy but eh ,when my hostel roommate tink am very lazy that I can't do anything stressful...so they began to look for my trouble to the extent they will even slap me I will b the one beging till the day I beat up the biggest dude in my room the guy bleed and was begin for his life since than no body dey look for my trouble although I surfer in the hands of school authority if not that I have Godfather's in the school I for say bye bye to academic.....say no to violence

there was a time I couldn't do just 2 push ups. den I started training my body cos my guys dey always mock me. now I fit do 30 at a go although hav stopped since dis coro outbreak. d highest hav done at a go is 38. wen I get strength I fit do 20 five times making it 100

Too lazy. I do 200 within 2 minute 26 seconds

I do 50 (at least) at a go in 5 sets at least yet I'm not ripped. Well, I'm not frequent at it though.

My limit is 3... I once tried to impressed someone with 5, I almost passed out.
