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.
