Finished 10,000 Pushups in 26 Days! Picture inside

I was roped into a challenge at work to complete 10,000 pushups in a month. To complete such a challenge one must complete 323 pushups per day to break even. Before the challenge started my max out on pushups was roughly 30 in a row.

Daily and cumulative pushup chart

Benefits of this challenge

  • Quickly built muscle in chest, shoulders, triceps and biceps. (Didn't expect my biceps to get larger)
  • Interesting puzzle to solve as balance between soreness and daily amount is key in the first 7 to 10 days.
  • The challenge structure was very addictive and will be easy to translate to accomplish other fitness goals

Cons of this challenge

  • Looking crazy at work

Edit: No before/after pics as the challenge for me wasn't physique related but about accomplishing the goal. Picture in title referred to the chart. I have now learned that r/fitness is not into charts.
