I know it's not that impressive but I've been pretty physically broken for years. I've been working towards the 100 a day for like 3 months now. Started at only two sets of ten a day, today was five sets of twenty. Another could months and I'll be back in Nazi punching shape!

Not that impressive? Fuck that! You're doing something that takes work, which many people will never bother to do. What's not impressive?

Good job, comrade.

Thanks! I get a little down on myself sometimes because back in the day I was absolutely jacked. 100 pushups in a row was part of a warm up. But it's nice to see that as a realistic thing to get back too.

I am so proud of you.

It’s crazy how quick you can actually get there.

I was a skinny dude my whole life. I started doing 100 pushups a day, every day. Not at once, but like 100 throughout whole day. Wake up, and before I go to bed I do 100.

I typically did 20, 20, 10, 20, 20, 10.

Been 6 months and I can do 50 slow, good form pushups consecutively. Doesn’t take long if you do abit every day.

Now you just have to do 100 sit up.

100 squats.

And a 1k run.

EVERY DAY!!!
