I fucked up my shoulder doing pushups this spring. waiting for it to heal but it still hurts.

looked at a buncha youtube “heal thyself” crap (of course, skipping and blocking every chirobullshitter) but no progress thus far. no idea if it’s something transient or if it’s there for good, got no access to medical aid.

takeaway - listen to your body. the moment there’s discomfort, quit immediately, none of that “power through it you pussy”. or if you’re 20, go for it, I guess.

Uh, yeah.

I tried something similar with a few friends.

My biceps and pecs got a tiny bit bigger. Like I noticed but I doubt anyone else did.

The key I would recommend with a challenge like this is to start small. This is not a “start as you mean to continue” type thing. If you start with 100 pushups on day one you can probably tough it out but I’ll be fucked up on day two.

If a gimmick like 100 whatever for 100 days helps you then that’s great. However, it’s just like any other kind of exercise. Some is better than none.

This is not a humble brag. I’m still overweight. I’m just trying to say this kind of thing is easier than it sounds and not really life changing.
