- Pushups are one of the most effective exercises to increase your strength and build up your upper body muscles like the chest, shoulders, and triceps. Some people take this exercise to the extreme and commit to doing 100 pushups a day, and seem to get impressive results. But what really happens if you do 100 pushups a day for 30 days? What muscles will grow and by how much by the end of this push up challenge? Are there any side effects related to this 30 day pushup challenge you should know about? Is it even worth your time and effort? Find out here.

To maximize your gains and minimize injury from doing 100 pushups a day, make sure you do them with proper form. But what kind of growth can you expect from doing 100 push-ups a day? The highest activated muscles were the chest, triceps, front of the shoulders, core, and another muscle called the serratus anterior. These are likely where you’ll experience most of the improvements. As for how much of an improvement to expect in these muscles, we’ll dive into specifics later.
But first, note that there are various side effects to doing 100 pushups a day for 30 days you’ll want to be aware of, starting with week 1. Men who rank “fair” in terms of their fitness on average can do about 15-20 push-ups in a row. This means you’ll likely need to do several sets of push-ups to get to a total of 100. In addition to this, the most noticeable effect you’ll experience in week 1 is what’s called DOMS, which stands for delayed onset muscle soreness. Since in this case your body isn’t used to doing 100 push-ups a day, week 1 is when you’ll experience the highest amount of soreness in your chest, shoulders, and arms.
As for side effects you’d experience in weeks 2 to 3 of your 30 day pushup challenge? Since it takes roughly 48 hours for a muscle to fully recover, in the case of doing 100 push-ups a day, since you’re training the same muscles every single workout, they aren’t getting a long enough break to fully recover. Because of this, you’ll likely start to experience quite a bit of fatigue in weeks 2 and 3. Your body and muscles may start to feel more exhausted than normal and as a result your push-up performance may even start to decrease.
So by the time week 4 rolls around, your body will have taken a beating from the high frequency and high volume pushups. You may also start to notice two things. First, if you regularly train your front muscles without training your back muscles, then the stronger front muscles will overtime start to pull your body forward into a hunched over position with your shoulders rounded forward. Now the other thing you’ll notice has to do with your joints. Even with proper form, the repetitive motion of push-ups can create a lot of strain especially on your wrists and elbows.
What kind of growth can you expect to see at the end of the pushup challenge, though? In the push-up study I mentioned in the beginning of this video, the subjects weren’t doing anywhere near 100 push-ups a day. Instead, they were assigned to 3 sets of push-ups to failure twice a week. Given that the max number of push-ups they could do in a row was around 30 reps, this would equate to about 90 push-ups being done each session. A total of roughly 180 push-ups per week. Although this sounds like nothing compared to 100 push-ups a day, they still experienced significant growth. Over the course of 8 weeks, they experienced an 18.3% increase in the muscle thickness of their chest which equated to about a 3mm increase in thickness. Their triceps also experienced a 9.5% increase in growth, which also equated to about a 3 mm increase.
If you halve these numbers, you can get a rough sense of the kind of growth you can experience after a month of doing push-ups just twice a week. If you were to do 100 push-ups a day would you experience more growth? I’d expect it to be similar or even less because you’re not giving your body adequate time to recover. Also, keep in mind that after these 30 days, if your body gets stronger then it’s going to need more of a challenge to continue growing.
As for whether this is all worth it or not? Honestly, I would not recommend the standard approach of 100 push-ups every day without rest. It causes too many recovery issues and lacks the progression you need to keep seeing results past 30 days. That said, I will be working on a video that shows you a “better” way to execute the 100 push-ups a day challenge, and I’ll link that when it’s done. Look out for it!
Have you tried the 100 push ups a day challenge? Comment below! As mentioned in the video, I'll follow this up with a video explaining how to better execute the "100 push ups a day" challenge to get better gains with less aches/pains and recovery issues. Stay tuned! Also, see below for the links to the studies used in the video. Cheers!

Hey now i am on my 31 st day and it will be last day of my challange :). I think it has somr effect, but there are other better training options that 100 push ups/day. Jeah, and i forgot abour training back so now i am using your posture video :D
@@matyascze15 for sure just useless commercial scam here dude 🤥💰
⭐I actually started the 100 push-ups a day challenge on July 1st so it's been one month so far and the results have been great. I started 100 sit-ups a day on January 1st of this year and same thing, great results. Consistency is the key. The most important thing that I've gained is discipline.
Could you tell me your diet plan? Did u change your foods or do u still eat the same thing? And also how long do u wait after excercising to eat and vise verca
This! Same experience for me, the discipline literally changed my life. 100 push ups every morning structured my morning routine, enabled more focus, better performance at work, ADD gone …
How did it affect your bench press?
Won't that over exert your muscles? Why not have 2 daya a week for chest, legs and abdomen, 1 day rest?
100 push ups at once or in a full day
This video idea is what many people have been searching for. Thanks for this!
I started a push-up routine about 1.5 years ago and worked up to doing 3 sets of regular pushups (60 reps x 3), 3 sets of incline pushups (60 reps x 3), and 3 sets of decline pushups (60 reps x 3), for a total of over 500 push-ups per day. This was sustainable on a daily basis. However, I decided this was a bit extreme, so I spaced out my push-up routines to every other day. As a 63-year-old male (180 lbs, 5' 9"), my body shape, muscle size, and tone were great motivators. As I backed off the push-ups (and other things, i.e., shoulder press, inverted row, lateral arm raises, etc.) to 2-3x/week, I seemed to maintain my physique, but noticed fairly consistently that almost always after two days of rest, I began to feel sore more frequently. Now, I can do 100 consecutive push-ups with good form, non-stop, but can tell that's almost my limit. I doubt I could do that daily at my age without injuring something.
Very educational and helpful.
My workout program: 4 on 1 off repeat - 3-4 weeks then add intensity, weights, reps etc.
Monday: Chest & Back + Abs - Pushups, Pullups [different variations and reps]
Tuesday: Cardio/Jogging / stairs or Plyometrics
Wednesday: Shoulders & Triceps + Biceps + Abs - free weights, curls, hammer curls, shoulder presses, tricep extensions etc.
Thursday: Legs - free weights / squats etc. (if my legs still sore from Tuesday, < rest day
Friday: Rest Day < if took rest day on Thursday, I will do legs on Friday
Saturday Chest + Back + Abs
Sunday - cardio etc.
Rest is a Must, Form is always King, no Ego lifting - when you feel like you can't just do one more,
You do NOT need all these new fancy workouts, supplements etc.
Old way is still best, pushups, pullups, curls, hammer curls etc.
if you do not have weights use < Bucket/bag/bookbag filled with water bottles etc.
Def. invest into a pull up bar.
Know your nutrition and goals < very important.
For supplements I use whey protein: Creatine Monohydrate Powder 5g and Authentic Whey Muscle Building Whey Protein Powder both from Jacked Factory Store (no they don't pay me, if you put in a good work maybe they will? lol )
I have not had any negative side effects etc. ALWAYS research what ingredients the supplement you use has in it.
If it has a minimum/ low % of being a negative side effect. ex. hurts kidneys etc. what I do is counter it, so I will add Chicken Liver to my meals.
This is what works for me, everyone is different etc.
Thank you for taking the time reading this.
++ disclaimer ++
This is what I have done and works for me, this is for educational / helpful information only.
I highly recommend you consult with a physician/ nutrition etc. before you start anything new.

Yeah it’s really good
Been doing 100 pushups a day (Mon-Fri) for a few months now. Started by doing 5 sets of 10 reps a day on week one, adding a few more each week until I got to 100 a day after 5 weeks. Last Friday, I was feeling extra energetic, so I did 200 pushups that day. This is in addition to my regular daily (Mon-Sat) workouts. I'm 52 years old, 6'3" and 260 pounds. If I can do it, so can you. It helps that in my head I think of the pushups as "just something I do" and not part of my workout.
Unfortunately you have plateaued. At this point no gains and no adaptation. Time to switch it up.
100 a day? Yeah sure.
@@Killerkarotte1 100 per series
@@kovak4576 Of course.... 😆😆
Yes. The mental part is the biggest challenge.
Been doing this for a good two and a half months now. I started at 5 sets of 20 reps , now i usually do 3-5 sets of 50 reps . Triceps and chest are noticeably larger and I generally just feel much stronger and energetic. Was kinda hard staying motivated but after a month or so it just became a part of my day.
There has been studies that show after 21 consecutive days of doing something, the brain forms the habit to do so. So easier to find the energy to do so
Can i use whey protein??
@@JerkoFranelicyes 💯💖💖
@salmanhashmi-tr5ob yes ofc. (if you don't know already )
How much time do you give yourself between sets?
I just completed a one week push-up challenge and over the course of a week did 940 pushups and I totally agree with what you said about getting weaker towards the end of the month (or week as mine was compounded) thanks for making this video and sharing your information I’m glad I came across this!
......
Thats why recovery days are crucial
Only do it 2-3 times a week. Recovery is key after you feel healed there so easy!! You can keep upping the number , plus you can do more consistently!
@@SuperSickNerd I did 1 day off 1 day in and even if the muscle didn't fully recover it feels great as 1 day is enough to ease the excessive tension in the muscles so we are ready to exercise again after a day of rest I feel much lighter done 500+ reps for 10 days
Who enjoyed the animations, the charts, the science and the whole thing! The production quality is so sweet for the eyes
The first thing I thought when I saw the title was “ I actually really wanted to know that.” Well made video
Literally same, I was searching the exact title not too long ago.
kids doing this to beat the bully and get the most beatiful girl as girlfriend😅
Ive been doing the 100 pushups a day since i was 15, im 20 now and never understood why i had a bit of a hunch. I didnt do too many back workouts till i was about 19, now i do pullups everyday too. Ever since I realized i have better posture, remember to always hit all areas of muscle on your workouts 💪
Did you watch your diet or it was only doing pushups and great results?
@@kapr689diet is more important

Just started today. 10 push ups every hour for 10 hours. No excuses!
I always enjoy your explanation and background info on each topic, that makes your videos my favorite to watch on exercises. I plan to do 100 sit ups and squats this month (August), but now I will add in the push ups also!
Don’t bother doing 100 sit up, most of the time you end up working the hip flexor instead of your core, try 60 secs hollow body hold instead, it works 10x better than sit up without stressing the lumbar spine, no qualified trainers will ever ask anyone to do sit up anymore.
how are you so far?
don’t forget the 10 km run
@@Thekidisalright what's 60 sec hollow body hold?
What an awesome and educational video. Thanks for putting in the time and the work to show what a good regime is!
what a video !! full a valuable and useful information!! thank!
I find your videos very educational throughout the years. I’d like to mention that i had done 200 push ups a day for around 3 weeks. I did 4x50 everyday, some days 2x100 and the results were pretty good considering I hardly ain’t no more than 1200cals. I did get a lot of sourness but it’s 100% worth doing it! The enjoyment of reaching your goal keeps you going back for more
1200 cals? Wtf!?
Great video. Someone should do a study on untrained subjects doing 100 push ups a day and another group doing 100 push ups every 3 days. Less reps but more recovery time.
I've been doing 20 push ups in a day for 4 months now and I have also improved my diet,the results are amazing,I think it's not about how many you can do in a day,but how consistent you are and also inprove your diet,trust me you will be amazed.
Yes it is right but unless you push your limits by increasing the reps you will lose interest in doing it after your body can't improve with only that many pushups
@abhishekgaikwad1069 Yes that's true,consistency is key.
The total amount actually does not matter for muscle grows. It matters to exhaust the muscle to signal the body to grow more muscles. For obese people who never did pushups 10-20 push ups even on knees can be a great exhausting workout. Other people do 100 push ups a day with ease and won't get more growth without increasing the stress with higher difficultie variations or more reps.
Does it boost testosterone
@@BobbyBeattie-mb3dk To my knowledge,testosterone can be improved by having a proper diet and exercise,so i believe it would increase it most especially if you eat the right things.But i feel stronger and better and doing it daily has also helped me become more disciplined,because they are days i wake up feeling lethargic but i still do it and it's an approach I've implemented in other spheres of my life.
YAY! Fellow Filipino💪 you remnd me of my son who is also half. Anyway. Love the contents and Goodluck on your journey. I am a PT for 25 years now but specialize in Geriatric in Los Angel3s. I started my weightloss journey in 2018 but didn't lift a thing..just all cardio and yoga pilates. But I have incorporated weight lifting this year. Your contents are great for reference. Keep up the good work 💪🙌
Hi Jeremy, as always awesome content from you. I have a request can you please bring the 15 best excercises series back!!!
That series literally helped me so much with my training.
I tried this challenge exactly one year ago, and now I am currently sitting at 250 pushups everyday. I remember the first week being absolutely hell, and it only got harder. But after two or three weeks, I felt my strength increase drastically. Supper effective challenge
daaaammmnnn 250 is insane how many reps do you do in each set
@@ilovemilfs69420 bro it's really not that much, I mean it's still way more than I could lmao, but my friend went from frail to ripped with (mostly) push-ups, but he progressively did more, and after just a few months he was hitting like 500-800 _a day_ . I must say that it dramatically changed his looks for the better tho - he's stopped working out years ago, and you can still see it on him when he takes a shirt off. I hadn't asked specifically, but I presume he ate much more and probably more healthy, considering his results were as if he was in the gym for about the same time. So I think it comes down to consistency + good progressive overload + good diet.
Amazing
Any breakfast effective challenge ideas?
How many days in a row should I do it before a rest day
This is the best push-up breakdown vid I’ve seen so far. Really well done, bro.
I did the 100 push ups a day challenge for the kids of St. Jude. However some days I took a one day break to heal, and bounced back to do 254 the next day. The results were amazing. But I must admit, I need to work on my form because my lower back was shot after the month was over. Thank you for your contributions and educational tutorials. God Bless, Semper Fidelis!
I have recently started working out myself. I planned on trying this challenge and seeing for myself, what results I can achieve.
Therefore I am glad to have seen this video, and I can’t wait for the optimized version to come out. I really want to get the most out of my training, without wasting any potential muscle growth.
I very much appreciate your videos, since they are informative, as well as motivative!
Best of luck on your fitness endeavors! If you have any questions, the comment section of Jeremy's channel would be happy to help.
it been 1 month how are you?
@@walkerwalkerr7295 hello, thanks for asking. After doing pushups 4 times times a week, I mainly experienced an increase in number of pushups I can do.
But I still really enjoyed this challenge as a beginner, and would definitly recommend when doing it, adding some rest days.

How's hour workout routine now?
I started this challenge at the start of the school year, but at first I couldn't do all 100, so I slowly worked up to it and now I can do 100 pushups (I do it in 4 sets). I've seen a lot of gains, and I'm going to continue to this as a daily routine.
Bro can I do the same like 4 set of 25 rep in 1 hour gap
@@shaad9602 Of course, thats better!
Thanks @Jeremy!
No gimmicks, data back information. Any exercise challenge that does not allow for 24/48 hours of rest & recovery will almost lead to injury and or burn out. Even extensive stretching will be counter productive. Great guidance 🙏
Tell that to most of us that served in the military!! Marines, Army, especially the special forced guys do them every single day!! My best friend’s son is PJ in the Ari Force and is came home looking super jacked because they do 100 s of pushups everyday!!
@@Harlem139Convent1 Army has an issue of survivor bias though. The ones who complete the program and come home at the scheduled time look jacked, because their body can take it. Those whose body can't take it drop out because their body fails. Adequately resting is a lot more important for the average person.
@@EpicSpaniardthose that drop out, or fail are the ones that mentally can’t take it, unless they have some type of physical condition that would prevent them from making it! The mind should always control the body! Im retired Navy SWCC, so i know and understand what the body is capable of doing! We did push-ups, dips, chin-ups every day, and we only got stronger, fit, and looked better!
This challenge changed my life but I also do Superman back flys to keep my posture right & bicycle for my abs. These three core exercises got me looking like a beast without doing much work. Just a little everyday goes a long way!
The bicycle kicks for core training is a killer workout but very effective.
I've been doing 100 push-ups a day since November of 2022 for some good cause. It's become a habit and I haven't stopped. No injuries. It becomes a whole lot easier. I am able to do 100 in a row now and feel stronger, more confident, and it only takes a few minutes every day! Highly recommend.
Is there an increase in muscle mass? Bigger shoulders? Arms?
I did this when I was in university, 20yo, no gym, results were amazing. At a later phase I was doing it with a backpack full of books on to add weight 😂😂 And I'm sure that contributed for my body shape nowadays! In terms of exercise/look it was the best thing I did after starting calithenics 5 years later. I'm 29 now, stronger than ever 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
I did 100 press-ups 5 times a week in my 20s. It changed my arm definition and chest definition. I’m female and now 60 on my next birthday. I can still do 100 press ups and everyone is jealous of my arm shape and my abs. So does it work ? Definitely! Combine with abs and lunges and squats for an all over workout.

More importantly You should stretch before doing push-ups
Good idea.
@@drews0n no. Surprisingly not. Recent studies show that stretching before working out or other physical activities are not only counterproductive, but could also be harmful. I know it’s strange to hear. I grew up playing sports and we’d spend a minimum of 15 min before practice and games just stretching. I was very surprised when I found this out as well
@@fourdubs4 No those studies are complete bs in he world today nothing is ever true. stretching ur legs muscles warming them up before a run will significantly lower the chance of u getting injured than waking up walking outside and start running. this works for every type of workout.
@@fourdubs4 that makes no sense
I remember trying this several years ago for a full year. Agree with everything you said, as I experienced all of the injuries/ setbacks and pain mentioned. I could only start with 30 reps for the first few days and after that I upped it to 40 for the next couple of weeks, eventually I worked my way up pretty quickly over a matter of 2-3 months to be able to do 100 reps in one go. However, I never noticed a difference after a year so I stopped because I was getting enough exercise at work anyway.
Question, were these injuries/serbacks only temporary? If so then how long did they last if you remember? I’m looking into trying this challenge and just need as much information as I need before I actually try it out.
@@LustofRage It was the constant pressure on my wrists and toes keeping them at that awkward angle while doing push-ups. I can't remember how long it lasted for though, but I haven't had any of those pains since I stopped. It could always just be incorrect positioning as well and the fact I didn't wear shoes while doing them. Give it a go anyway, no real harm in trying.
What was your pushup workout plan to be able to do 100 in one go? Thanks
@@guapify2320 There was no plan. Literally after starting from 30 for a few days I had found it to be getting easier to push myself to do more and that eventually led me to doing 100 in one go as I was finding it easy to do that many.

I began the 100 pushups per day on May the 1st and i`m still doing them - Matter of fact i raised them to 150 - 200 per day. I usually do them as a warm up for my regular workout. i´m 57 and it got me well defined on my chest area and enlarged my triceps.

@@wintersotero9749 ???
Can you tell me how do it till you get to 100.do you take break or you do it continuously
I do pushups between sets and it's been a game changer. Between 50-150 per day. I've had some nasty snapping/popping elbows for my whole life. My ulnar nerve snaps over the bone on both of them. Docs basically tell me to F off, cause they can't do anything. I was worried so many pushups would make things much worse, but I feel like everything is becoming better "seated" in my elbows. I actually can do skullcrushers without my arms going pins and needles after I'm done...
but how do you rest because with rest it will grow stronger and bigger
I started again with 100 push ups about a week ago after being on and off the last few months. I've been hearing people telling me I'm bigger and in good shape. I made it to 200 push ups tonight
It may seem crazy but am a felon and spent some time in the hole (solitary confinement) out of boredom i was doing a basic workout till one day i got motivated wanted to get bigger after i notice my chest and tricep getting bigger for a few weeks i was doing 1000 push up a day sets of 20 of course i did it after a span of the day thru wake up till lights out and I seen progress and it did me good but I had plenty of time of course and good form was a big help that's why am watching this video today because I wanted to work out again and remember my time incarcerated thanks for your time reading this guys have a good day stay bless and get at it

Ive done 50 pushups a day coming up to 2 years now without missing a day. There has been a massive change but i did have to continually improve my form because at first my sternum would pop from time to time and i had back pain. These issues have since gone since i perfected my form. With perfect form I would say this is a really good alternative to bench pressing.
I can do push-ups easy but can’t bench my own weight …

Great job information and congratulations on your progression! I call B.S., though, on the 30 day thumbnail image.

Great video on the importance of push-ups a day. Im an advanced weightlifter whose looking to gain more chest size, and am definitely going to incorporate 100 push ups a day into my routine pretty soon, along with my other chest training methods I put together
How’s it going btw I just wanna know if you have seen results
I’m also curious about your progress
@@MikeR2111I haven't started 100 pushups a day yet. In the near future I will incorporate it into my chest training tho. I have however done a chest training routine that was very similar to doing 100 pushups a day. I did about 10 pushup variations (diamond pushups, wide grip pushups, V pushups, archer pushups, rear elevated pushups, etc.) for AMRAP in one minute, rest a whole minute, then go to a different pushup variation, and the cycle would repeat until I was done with all my different pushup variations I had. I did that on top of pyramid setting on my flat bench press six days a week. After about two months my chest was definitely slightly more muscular and defined than before I had started. I didn't take actual measurements, but in that little amount of time training my pectorals that way, my chest had to have grown about an inch and a half!

I have however done a chest training routine that was very similar to doing 100 pushups a day. I did about 10 pushup variations (diamond pushups, wide grip pushups, V pushups, archer pushups, rear elevated pushups, etc.) for AMRAP in one minute, rest a whole minute, then go to a different pushup variation, and the cycle would repeat until I was done with all my different pushup variations I had. I did that on top of pyramid setting on my flat bench press six days a week. After about two months my chest was definitely slightly more muscular and defined than before I had started. I didn't take actual measurements, but in that little amount of time training my pectorals that way, my chest had to have grown about an inch and a half!
i did 100 pushups a day for 30 days. this was my first evet workout i decided to commit... this was the start of my journey. i always felt hard to stick to a plan. but the 30 days in a row made me do it. i dumped in in day 45 since i got consistent with my workout and got the ball rolling. for all those looking to get into fitness, this challenge would be a really good starting point...
I am actually doing this challenge plus 150 squats and 100 abs. The gains are insane, its not as difficult since I have been doing home workouts for 2 years. I think forcing too much is not good, eat well and going progressively and consistently with time will make it easier.
👍
I do slow consistent partial reps. It really works for me. Keep the muscles under constant high tension without having breaks at the top makes a massive difference. An I usually finish on negative tension which beginners usually don’t do to fully push that tut.
I swear I just googled this an hour ago and you delivered as always Jeremy 👏

This is a very excellent and brilliant bro telling about what happen when we do 100 pushups for 30 days and keep it up and keep training hard and be strong always and stay healthy and be positive and happy always but never give up on your dreams and take care of yourself
Wow CZcams guy you’re inspirational 😂
Well presented and easy to understand!
This was great 🤙🏿
I did this challenge back in 2020 during the lockdown. 1st two days were fine, the next 3-4 I couldn't finish a 100 pushups even when I spread them through the whole day. Eventually I caught up by the end of the 1st week and was going strong with only slight discomfort in my right elbow near the end. Afterwards, I stopped exercising every day and switched to every other day and the results were much better. Although, after two months the pushups really don't offer much of a challenge any more (unless you do over 200) so I switched to more difficult versions until the lockdown passed and I hit the gym once again.
I used to do 200 pushups and 100 chin ups a day. I did it for a year and I felt great and had good results. I stopped working out for years and I believe that this year helped me have an athletic body for years after.
200 pushups are impressive already but 100 chin ups everyday?😭 you deserve the long term gains
Mad respect. Both super impressive, both goals I have.
My fourth month now. It has become a habit. I'm addicted to the shape I'm in now fitness wise. I don't want to lose it ever
I started doing this 1 month ago exactly. I can now do 70 push ups at once without stop, and easily do a pushup with one hand. Great strategy for sure and I highly encourage it.
I was already in ok shape before I started but I only did running and stamina related activity, nothing upper strength.

@@MsROGERBOWIE since*
Just finished watching 'What Happens To Your Body After 100 Push-Ups a Day For 30 Days' and I'm genuinely impressed and motivated! The transformation and dedication it takes to stick with such a rigorous routine are truly commendable. It's incredible to see the physical changes and the improvement in overall strength and endurance over just a month. This video not only showcases the power of consistency but also inspires viewers to challenge themselves and see what they're capable of achieving. The detailed explanation of the process and the visible results really highlight the benefits of push-ups as a fundamental exercise. Definitely considering taking on this challenge myself!
My two cents if you're going to do this:
- Rest on the weekend.
- Do pullups, face pulls, cuban presses, and external rotation exercises with laying on your side a few times a week so that you counter imbalances.
- Pick one day during the week to do a full body workout.
This should give you good results, I think.
It would be interesting to see a similar video about squats.
I've already started seeing results in day 20. Conisistency is the key as well as a good amount of sleep and diet if I may add. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Results as in?
@@Rahul-kz5fi pecs started getting a little tighter instead of loose. More muscle build on my shoulders and chest. I do use pushup bars to get a little more dip, so that may have helped. But this is just 20 days. On day 30 that's when results got better. Muscles from pecs and shoulders were way tighter then before I started push ups. Now I just gotta keep consistently with it.
Congrats on hitting 2000 pushups
@@jasonlorphotofilms progress update? Did you keep going?!?
Starting with knee pushups is fine too. thx for the video
i salute your hustle Sir. First time ive saw your video lol. 5.47 million subs , and a fitness app. Damn you really are killing it ! ;) Hope you all the success in the future. You're an inspiration to the youth of today!
I have been doing a couple hundred raised push ups for a few months during Corona and honestly, the results are great. But you have to absolutely nail the form and incorporate some variants to mix it up, like archer push ups etc. to keep up the challenge. Would I recommend doing 100 push ups a day? As a challenge, absolutely, as a substitute for a balanced workout, no way.
I have started doing 50 a day too , but then I find it very difficult a certain times to get myself back up . my arms lose strength and sometimes I wonder if this what I am doing is really helping my body , like am i doing it right . could you suggest me anything on how to keep up
@@amarshetty389 Take longer breaks for a start.
An intense, explosive workout has its own merits but sometimes it helps a lot to rest for 2-3 minutes when you want to really push yourself and especially when you are trying to improve, many studies have shown that it helps to improve - the only downside is that it takes more time.
Also, keep in mind that while you will get stronger eventually, there is no magic fix and not being able to go further is usually actually a good sign that you are on the right track.
As long as your form is excellent ( focus on really pushing up all the way while sort of flexing the muscles as much as possible when you are at the lowest and the highest point but I would ask google or perhaps a very trustworthy AI for the exact form since it’s a bit difficult for me to translate ), you are doing everything right and just need a bit more patience.
Something that helped me a lot in general when it comes to form was to train the mind muscle connection - take your arm while you are for example standing and do the movement while focusing on the muscle groups in question, perhaps even feel the tension with your hand.
One last thing: focus on slowly reaching further than your initial mental breaking point, the exact rep range doesn’t matter as much as much as that you really go slightly further than your comfort zone, even if you have to basically do “drop” sets ( in this case, do 10 clean ones and despite despite feeling maxed out, do another 5 and finally an additional 3 - keep in mind that the numbers I am giving you are not written in stone but more like a vague guideline of scale that should fit your current / future ability and be personalised to fit your needs ).
Conclusion:
Push ups ( body weight exercises in general ) are a bit unforgiving that way because unlike anything done with weights, you can’t just up the difficulty in small steps as easily and doing new variants/additional exercises without having gotten significantly stronger ( or heavier ) is difficult too.
Basically, you are on the right track. Sleep/eat/rest enough and you should get better.
PS:
Please, keep in mind that while I am experienced, I am not someone who studied this BUT tbh., working out isn’t all that difficult ( I warmly recommend a video by a dude named NeoShred titled “looking fit is easy/free workouts”.
It’s not a click bait.
I used to overthink my training routine way when I really got into personal fitness yet honestly, it really is “easy”.
When you watch enough content, you will hopefully get what I mean by that, if you haven’t already done so on your own.
I'm up to 50 push-ups per set, 3 sets a day, as part of my daily routine. No more gym's, just a simple HITT circuit. 60 squats/50 push-ups/30 ab circles/30 crunches/20 leg raises/20 pull-ups. 7 days a week.
Great....keep doing bro
🐐
how's ur progress?
really curious about your progress ? your cores are now visible through your belly ?
Holy cow!
100 push-ups a day to me sound like a David Goggins mindset, love it!
Keep it up” big Kodak 👑
I'm 40 and I've been doing 100 push-up's a day every day since I was 19. I do it on bars to avoid wrist injury, I have seen only positive results in terms of long-term fitness and well-being, recommend :)
I’ve started doing something a bit different. At work, every hour I do 20 pushups. That’s about 160 pushups a day. I’ve been doing it for 3 weeks now and see great results. I also workout 3 times a week for the rest of my body. My max bench press got 10kg higher in these 3 weeks.
Could I do this while working out 6x a week with a 1 day rest in between?
i have been doing 100 push ups a day for a week. I love it. I do fasting for at least 16 hours a day and doing push ups, running etc.
hey jeremy! great video, but where can i find the update video that you mentioned in the end?
How I do my pushups is that I divide them evenly
I do 20, then rest for 30 secs
I do 20 more, and rest again
And I continue until arm and chest failure
Hopefully we can all make it to 100 💯
Started with a measly 10 pushups per day. After 4 months its 60/day. Upper body strength has increased, forearms feel stronger. Also focussed on the posture as per your video and to my surprise, height increased by an inch.
Now I'm getting used to pseudo-planch and archer pushups. Along with that, crunches and oblique muscles are also in focus.
You’re awesome dude, I’m basically at the level you started lol
You sure you grew an inch?
@@jasonmarshall4522 Yep. But that's basically due to the posture. I'm not sure I can grow physically.... I'm 22.
I just started doing a challenge of 100 push ups a day for 100 days. I'm 6 days in now. I was very sore after the first 2/3 days but the soreness is now starting to wear off and I'm already noticeably stronger than when I started. The good thing about doing push ups is that you can adjust your grip to utilise different muscle groups. And by keeping your torso rigid it also trains your legs and your core.
What happen
When my right shoulder finally recovers from my biking accident, I shall start this, along with running again.
i did 100 pushups everyday for 5 months its honestly the best decision I've committed to
Did you do any other exercises, freehand or weighted, as well?
@@SAAmanat yes I did weighted push-ups as well and different variations to target specific muscle groups
@@Blaine556 but only pushups though right? I do weighted exercises at home with pair of dumbbells and a barbell. It brought shape but since there's no progressive overload muscles are not growing. Do you reckon me doing only pushups for 30 days will be more beneficial?
PS: my pushups are hopeless. Can only do 10-15 at a time.
@@SAAmanat yes I believe it would be more beneficial, just make sure you do all the push-ups in one session with about 2-4 mins rest in between sets. You will see progress in strength and muscle at the end. I started at 15 push-ups max when I first started now I can do about 37 just trust the process and you will succeed brother.
And yes only push-ups
I saw a similar challenge in 2015 and tried it out. I could barely do 5 pushups at first, but eventually got to 150 a day (plus a few other exercises for the rest of mu body). While I did get some muscle definition, it was definitely nothing substantial. I also got most of the side effects mentioned in this video, especially bad posture (constantly leaning forward).
How could you have gotten the posture issues if you didn't put on substantial unbalanced muscle?
@@jackelder5501well, my posture was always pretty shit tbh, so I assume the pushups just exacerbated the problem
@@userover9000 you might have been leaning your shoulders forward as you were doing pressups rather than retracting your shoulder blades.
Many people do pressups just as a part of warm-ups for sport but don't develope issues.
I have tried this a long time ago and I found those challenges doing more harm than good. Currently, when I work out I make myself recover rather for longer periods of time (at least 1-2 days after a workout) and my results are actually way better by performing a workout less than more. Also when I was going to the gym every single day many times I felt like I will cause an injury to myself and was forced to finish in the middle of the workout. This conclusion of mine is actually in line with your recommendation.
Great stuff. Tq.
I did 100-200 push ups every day and I didn't want to stop. If I was at a red light I wanted to get out and do more. Honestly in a month or less I had explosive amounts of energy also was doing bicep every day. I'm like where did all this energy come from. Haven't done in over 10 years my triceps still solid. Got to start again. The hardest thing is starting but after 3rd day you don't want to stop. IT WORKS!
I am doing 3 sets of around 20 push ups a day because 20 is my maximum......i will try my best to remain consistent so that i can reach 20+ in a set
best of luck bro 🙏
@@TheLonelyX thanks
In order to improve your stamina/strenght u need to push yourself over what u feel confortable. But again dont overdoo it.
dont do sets. just push as much as you can and get as much reps as possible
I think pushups work more muscle mass than Bench presses..abs, back muscles, thugh extensors, all to keep the body straight. I can knock off 35-40 on a good day.. but go to about 3 reps short of failure on several sets. They work. Do pullups with these, and go back to back .. so push, pull, etc.. but every day? Makes no sense.. Muscle grows on recovery day..
I'm currently doing this challenge. At times I do 150 daily. Overall not as much changes, but I can feel strength and muscle control on the improve.
I've been doing Saitama's workout routine excluding running 10 km/day and it felt incredible at first. Although I did 100 push ups, 100 pull ups, 100 squats, meaning my upper body should've been damaged more, by the end of the month I stopped because my knees were aching so much. But in terms of body visual transformation I've never recieved results this drastic so rapidly!
Hey Jeremy, I do push ups everyday (no set limit) I try to do more than I did the day before...I fully agree about resting for muscles to rebuild. But should I at least do 10-15 just to keep mentally committed to working out everyday?
Tried this and it really took a toll on my wrist. Went to the gym instead and made some real gains. Personally I do not recommend the 100 push-ups-a-day challenge as well. Recovery is of utmost importance for gains.
Interesting video and quite on point. I due 100 pushups almost 3 months now and even didn't know that has a challenge like that. It's pretty exhausting in second to third week. But it's getting really eazy on second month I do some Hindu, Spartan and other variety of pushups since it's getting easier now. I usually do them on 3 set 35/35/30 but if want to I can do them on 50/50 when I started I found out 4×25 was the best for me in the beginning 😎
Been doing 100-250 puchups everyday since april, definitely seen results👍
I've done 100 push ups every day for that last two months. My size has increased pretty well. I'm very proud of myself. Everything you said in this video checks out from my experience (DOMS first week, fatigue, etc.)
100 pushups in one go or like 20 every few hours
@@reverseflash03 Not 100 push ups in a row, just 5 sets of 20 (all in one session). Takes me a few minutes to do now whereas it took over 10.
If you rest you will get more growth and it will take less work. You could work up to 100 a day if you did enough pushups to never get sore and slowly increased every day but it's probably best to just go hard then rest then go hard again.
What increased? Gonna start this soon
@@user-bt1gb2wp2v my chest size and triceps size. My chest has seen the biggest gain from this though. I have pictures to prove it.
I have been doing 100 a day since the 5th of jan this year, and im not quiting. I have grown so much that i now have stretch marks on the front of my shoulders.
I recomend anyone to do this challenge cuz it not only helps you physicly but its been helping me mentaly (discipline), i plan to do this until at least the 5th of jan next year
Edit: i just found out that i have done 4000 push-ups by now on the dot
well done mate, just one question did you make any changes to your diet?
@@kavarou ive been eating much more protien and carbohydrates for energy and recovery
This video is so true everything he says I’ve experienced, follow his lead.
I have done 100 a day push ups and it was a great exercise for building commitment and consistency. My bech reps has also increased. I find it easier fighting the pain when lifting for many reps
Hey Jeremy! I'm loving this video. Let's all try to get to 100 push ups every day!... Who's with me? :)
Yep. I did about 180 pushups . . . per day . . . for the whole year of 2021, only a few rest days. Did not understand recovery times and did not grow that much. Still helped me to prep the front muscles for heavier weights and improve in weighted exercises. I have since stopped, and I have not been able to reach my previous max pushups per set, but I found that weighted chest and tricep exercises, like dumbbell presses, have helped me more since the close of 2021.
I’ve done this challenge and I can say after doing this challenge I got a lot stronger and muscle became a lot bigger
I did this around my neighborhood for about 2 months. 100 push-ups, laps, and gym time. Improved my chest and arms for sure.
I did this challenge and I was a beginner so I started with 5 sets of 20 push ups throughout my day and I was later able to increase my amount of reps and lower the amount of sets by the end. But overall I noticed an increase in strength and would highly suggest giving it a shot especially for beginners 👍
Did you take any breaks while doing the challenge?
@@void456plays6 am also going to start this challenge now but mine will be something different i will do 100 for 2 weeks with 1 day gap then increase my reps( do every set till failure) This will be progressive overload + Enough rest for muscle recovery.....Then i will gain strength + size both as well(mainly my target is strength),Do fast pushup for explosiveness and power.

I love to challenge myself with things like this 🤯Thank you for all the tips & tricks! Already started today with my first set of 100 along with a back muscle workout 👍
UPDATE: Challenge complete of 31 days and there is indeed quite the difference in muscle mass! I used to have both no fat nor muscle at all, and now I am somewhat kinda built in the arms, back, and chest! Make sure to spice up your routine with different types of pushups and an equally challenge back muscle workout, otherwise your posture will force your shoulders forward. Good luck all! 💪✌️
