>>403565 >Can you expand on the types of pushups you've been doing when you got started? When I originally got started I was only worried about gaining weight. Then I realized I had to do strength training to gain it the healthy way. I would basically just do regular pushups without any care about sets or tracking.
THEN I started doing the 100 pushups program (so five sets, first set a high #o'reps, 3 sets after less reps, last set to failure). I basically do what I learned from the 100 pushups program for everything (squats, lunges, bicycle crunches, and supermans), only I'm the one deciding how many to do each time BASED ON my journal! The journal has been key for me. It motivates me, makes it ritualistic, and gives me perspective on how many to do each time.
Types of pushups: normal, elevated feet, guillotine (get three chairs. Put hands on two chairs, feet on one chair. Drop between chairs for a deeper pushups), and weighted (put water/sand in a jug of milk, put in backpack, do pushups as normally).
