TheLibrarian, my classic rep count will probably improve if I do other
variations as well.
Well that's my initial thought-- we'll have to see if it pays off.. And after a PU heavy workout yesterday, I was kinda bored with classic PUs.

I have a question.
There are many YouTube videos where people perform say 100 Push Ups a Day for 30 Days. And then here at Darebee too , we had ( have ) that challenge of 300 Push Ups/300 Bicep Curls a day for 10 Days. Usually it is said that, for muscle growth to happen the muscles need adequate rest. And ( I assume ) in a scenario like above ) more than hypertrophy one would be achieving more Muscle endurance rather than Gain in Size. Am I right in my understanding ?
Also, once the challenge itself is done, if the load isn't maintained one can naturally expect the gains to recede. So, is the point of Challenge to overcome a mental barrier? Because surely one cannot be expected to do 300 Push Ups forever everyday.
Just thinking aloud?!

Yes. For muscle growth, you basically need 3 things:Originally posted by rahul27 View Post
- regular and progressive overload
- recovery time
- adequate nutrition
Well, when I did the challenge, yes, the idea for me was to be able to see 300 push-ups as no big deal. I started with reps throughout the day, then, gradually, did them in a single workout, then in sets to failure. And no, I wouldn't see myself do that forever, every single day (mainly because I wouldn't want to risk joint pain or tendinitis). But the body does adapt. I think my form got better. And since I kept working out on a regular basis, I didn't really lose any of my gains (which were gains in recovery time more than in endurance, in my case).Originally posted by rahul27 View Post

Uh - if someone wanted to join in, would starting on week 1 be fine?
I'm still working on getting basic form right and I think a challenge like this could help at the very least (and, more importantly, seems fun), but starting on week 13 is a little daunting.Comment

No problem Rise_Like_A_Phoenix, you can start at any week you want-- we're not that strict on the rules around here.
The idea for the Pushers. is to get into, and maintain, a push-up routine, and maybe, eventually, reach some goals, e.g. the 50 push-ups in one go achievement.
It's great if you want to join us. Keep pushing!
