Good work! Do you have before/after pictures? That would be awesome to see!

Any photos to show progress?

For everyone asking for before/after photos, it really is not my thing, sorry.

FWIW I'm not very muscular, doing this many pushups has basically toned my pects, shoulders and also my arms and strengthened my back, abs and core. (no 6 pack or anything like that since I didn't succeed with abs, for some reason I fail to do them right form and always end up with mild injuries and give up)

Tell me you can see a big difference!

hehe thanks but really I started small and kept on doing more when I felt it was getting easy. Yeah I really like this https://everydaycheck.com app visualization, you never know, just start doing maybe 1 or 2 a day, you never know!

Yeah I do! I used to be the tall skinny guy, now I'm the tall dude with decent proportions haha, but most importantly, I've fixed my back pain (which is why I started doing it)

When do you do them?

Tell us more about said pains of the back

what do you want to know?

I always do 40 straight about 15min before I get to bed. And I'm trying to build the habit to do the same in the morning (right now I'm doing about 10). I'm more of a night owl

Notice any difference? I took to spending my work breaks on micro-workouts: 2 dozen pushups, 1/2 dozen pullups, 30 squats, a few dips, and a quick handstand. 2, 3, or 4 times a day, four days per week.

After 6 months: everything hurts.

hahaha damn I was gonna say impressive until your last sentence, maybe you have pushed it too far too quickly? It's been a very incremental process for me. When I started I did 8 to 12 pushups, and I'd try to do at least 2 sets, but now I can easily do a 100 (understand easily as an "I can do them but it's tough" haha). I rarely end my sets completely exhausted or anything, after a while it feels normal and then I increment. Some people have told me that's a wrong approach but that's because they think I want to build muscle, I don't care, I just want to have a stronger core, being tall and relatively thin that's like a must

Were there major gains associated?

much more strength gains and tonification than muscle gains if thats what you mean

Thanks for sharing. I'm a sucker for beautiful visualisation so hopefully this will keep me on track this time

Type/severity and triggers/causes of said back. Location. Degree of relief.

Yeah, my achieved goal will look like a healthy guy instead of the swole dude, but when I get to 'planche to handstand' I win.

Hey whats the app you used to track your progress?

I'm not sure I'm allowed to share but it's called everyday.app :)

thank you!

cool ! my daughter and I just started doing pushups everyday this year!. good work! .

try yoga . I highly recommend 10 minute yoga with Kassandra on yt .. i was like you doing small workouts and walking . yoga glues it all together .

i DO STRETCH (turns off cap locks) in the evenings, consistently, and have added stretching to my daytime micro workouts. For 2023, I'll stretch more pump a little less, focus on flexibility. For strength my goal is "planche to handstand", and for flex it's forward splits. (so far the side splits are killing me; they may be out of my range)
