Over halfway into the push-up challenge and it’s going well. I currently have a few days of rest banked, several hundred reps ahead of schedule.
Honestly thought I’d drop out three or four days in, when the wall of fatigue and pain hit. The residual muscle recovery and pain seemed like it would get worse by day, and I’d fall further behind. Instead, it just disappeared, and many push-up sets became effortless.
And let me be incredibly clear that none of this is boasting. 90 push-ups a day is not a great achievement. I like fun “better yourself” challenges and this one caught my eye as a fun exercise. But the conditioning happened far quicker and much more absolutely than I expected.
