- 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
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?
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?
@@Carptusdiet is more important
@@Carptus diet is necessary no junk food atleast eat what your asian mom tells you and you will be fine she knows more about diet than you so just eat what she gives no need for anything else plus sprouts
@@abhishekgaikwad1069 i dont have an asian mom just an american mom who orders pizza any other tips
@@bilethumper1912 well reduce the amount of pizza you eat start eating fruits once a week is good I eat fruits once a week it is beneficial for you also fasting once in two months but this may not be an option for you or you can give it a try the main tip you have to follow is be patient and increase your intensity of exercise slowly but you can't skip them no matter what you eat if you can persist for a few months then you will see great results also running is very good to reduce fat if you want strength like actual strength try to do skipping awesome cardio makes you fast as fuck boi you can also do plyometrics running is also good if you want to be shredded
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
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.
Any idea what good reps/sets on these would be for a beginner

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.
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.
This video idea is what many people have been searching for. Thanks for this!
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.
Lol
@@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

......
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
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!?
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.
What an awesome and educational video. Thanks for putting in the time and the work to show what a good regime is!
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!
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 …
@Modelo Time Foo do you think it makes sense?
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?
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'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?

Love you Jeremy cause you improve me every video 🥰
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 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 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!

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.
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..
@ehthra5924 Just keep working .. There will be days you feel like saying what the h--? and THOSE are the days you need to push through. Tip: Don't over train. You don't have to get like 'Arnold' just be the best that God intended to be.. Bottom line, you feel great
Thanks Jeremy. Can you please add the stretching excersizes after the heavy push up session. That would be very helpful for beginners
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
Well presented and easy to understand!
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 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.

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 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.
Ive been on a 1 month grind and i can say that it really has made my muscles bigger
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.
This is dangerous i did it without rest, and ended up with an injury on my shoulders 1 year ago, because my rotator cuffs are weak thankfully i am fine now and i train smarter and safer because of that
You should Do in 4 set 25 time and you should Not do push up fast ... fast push up will kill your muscles
@@poriaasla7449 yeah i know i found out the hard way it's better to train smarter and stay consistant
It happened with you because your muscles were not strong enough, I'm not flexing or anything and tbh I'm skinny myself but 4 months ago i started doing a 100 push ups daily for one month and i saw many changes but now i don't do them everyday
That’s crazy I do 500 🥴
@ohiostateisthebestplace my form's is great i never train without good form, i eat a balanced healthy diet, muscle weakness in the back is what got me besides exercising everyday is extremely dangerous your body builds muscle and strength during sleep exercise counteracts that.
This was great 🤙🏿
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
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!

love your content bro you've inspired me to start fitness on my channel!
You’ve had your channel for 10 years and have 15 subscribers....... maybe in another 10 years you could have maybe 30 subscribers

@@aleczander3457 ive had the email associated with my youtube account for 10 years, and I started posting consistenly on June 2022, so i've technically been posting on TH-cam for 2 months! More to come!
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.
I started the challenge last year on my 62nd year of age. I noticed it is harder to build the muscles at my age, but by now, a year and 31.300 push ups later, I can feel (and see!) the difference!
I swear I just googled this an hour ago and you delivered as always Jeremy 👏

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!
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
If you’re like me and over 40 trying to get back into it. Do it right. Hit your 10 sets of 10 push-ups your first week on Monday and Wednesday. Sit-ups Tuesday and Friday. After the first week you will be able to get to either 15-20 reps per set. Do the same workouts same days but push for those higher reps the 2nd week. Third week push for that 20rep/set. 4th week you should be on that 20. After that, it’s time to start weights. Love y’all! Don’t stop! Don’t quit!
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
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 TH-cam guy you’re inspirational 😂
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 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
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!
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 💯
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!
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.
Damn I started doing those cuz I was at a camp with a friend who encouraged me to do it as well. Not a month has passed and I am already seeing results. It is very nice to watch a detalailed video about it. Thanks Jeremy🙏
thats a stupid idea
@@lefroste6370 Tell that to the Iron Wolf
@@PulyAxel dont know woh that is ,nor care
Hey i exercise sence i was 5 and im 12 and i can do 700 situps and only 60 pushups and 26 pull ups and more but its crazy how kids can do what im doin
@@MsROGERBOWIE since*
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 did this around my neighborhood for about 2 months. 100 push-ups, laps, and gym time. Improved my chest and arms for sure.
Great stuff. Tq.
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'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’m 27 years old and 0 days in but today will be my first day someone like this to remind me to do it everyday for the next 30 days please. 🙏
*ok so I’ve been trying and the soreness of my body didn’t allow me to do 100 but I did do weights. Push ups workout so much more that you can feel it so much. I felt the soreness on my 3rd day yesterday and my arms just couldn’t do it cause of the soreness but I still worked out so I’m going to workout until my soreness goes away to keep going with 100 a day. I’ve only missed one day.
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.
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?!?
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
Anyone that thinks 100 pushups seems like too much. Please read this. I was always very active in my youth but never went to the gym. I was big on running hiking biking swimming and martial arts. Always wanted to go to the gym but couldn't motivate myself to do it. The other activities were fun to me so it was easier to get into running or biking when I love being outside. So I started breaking up my workout into pieces throughout the day. I'd wake up and do a set of 20 to 30 pushups. Brush my teeth eat etc then do another set. Then maybe do a set of situps before I leave for work. I made sure I did at least 3 sets of whatever I did. Amd by the end of my day I had completely 3 to 6 different exercises and 3 to 4 sets of each. Essentially an entire workout that would have taken me a solid hour or more at the gym. I found myself gaining results. And it almost felt like I was cheating. Like I was getting results without doing an actual 1 to 1.5 hour gym experience. Once you see results in yourself it really triggers the desire to keep going. It created discipline, and exercise will infact give you more energy. Meaning the more you work out the more energy capability you will have. So after while going to the gym became much easier. If going to the gym is very difficult to get yourself to do and procrastination is an issue like myself. Try breaking your workout up into segments throughout the day. It's only 30 seconds to do one set of pushups. Just do the 30 seconds. Then later again!
Just a question did you do it everyday and do you think it can fix gynocomastia?
I wanna start but I wanna know for sure I'll get 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 push ups for 6 months i started at 60 a day and now im at 250 a day and the changes that happened to are very visible and good specialy my arms and chest and surprisingly even my back and core were developed in the process and i definitely will keep doing them until i reach 500 day because the results were stunning for me and i like push ups very much with right food and right amount of sleep its possible to get jacked with only push ups but u need to modify the way you perform them to find other ways hard ways to do them well thats my experience and it made me very happy
Better do weighted pushups instead of 500. That is way too much to be useful, if not harmful
It would be interesting to see a similar video about squats.
This is such an epic challenge, I've been going since the 25th of February this year (resting weekends)... Changed my whole physique
Yes I have! I first performed 5 sets of 20 the first week, then 4 sets of 25 the second week, 3 sets of 30 reps plus an additional 10 reps each day that same week to complete the 100 reps. By the 4th week, I was able to perform 50-65 pushups in a single set before fatiguing, then completing the remainder repetitions.
My experience with this is that I definitely had an increase in my muscular endurance as time progressed and I only fatigued in the beginning as it was a new addition of my daily routine. I noticed very visible muscle gain in my pectoral major, anterior deltoid and triceps brachii as a result of continuous pushups. Additionally, my core was more toned and much stronger. I was able to hold my plank-position for longer periods of time. The pace of pushups also increased as I was able to perform more pushups with ease and much faster than the first few weeks.
As far as any related injuries, I did not experience any joint pain or other issues. I still exercised regularly with an alternating Push/Pull/Leg/Upper/Lower lifting split while adding in the additional pushups. I used it more as a last exercise at the end of each training session to maintain the consecutive days of 100 pushups per day.
In conclusion, it was a fun experience and although it was a lot of work, the strength gains did fluctuate up and down. To combat this, I implemented a higher protein intake at 1g/lb of bodyweight instead of the 0.8g/lb bodyweight to support more recovery.
If you decide to do this, I recommend begin slow as I did so that your body has the ability to acclimate to the stress demand as you are performing a total of 100 pushups per day. You can also change the variation of the pushup to target either the upper chest, inner chest, mid chest and lower chest fibers depending on your body placement (elevated, decline, ground level) and hand placement (diamond, standard, military, wide) along with other calisthenic type pushup styles (one handed pushups, archer pushups, plyo-pushups, clap pushups etc) to change up the rhythm and elicit more of a response to overcome adaptation of the same form of pushup. In this way, you're further able to "progressive overload" the pushup movement pattern, which makes it more fun and interesting way to test your body's upper body pushing capabilities.
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
I've already been working out a ton so I've decided to do 100 pushups a day. I've been doing 5 sets of 20 every single morning, I am 17 turning 18 in July. If you're a beginner, I recommend that you give yourself some experience working out before doing this challenge to allow your body to gain strength. If you can, attempt to do 50 a day (10 pushups for 5 sets), rest on weekends, and then keep going. Happy lifting!
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 😎
This video is so true everything he says I’ve experienced, follow his lead.
I’ve done this and am continuing to do this. I definitely have seen massive results in both my chest and abs. I’m a very lean guy. Always have been. I’m 39. I never had a good size chest or one with definition in the middle area. I’m definitely seeing it now. It’s crazy. I do 5 sets of 20. I’m just gonna keep this going. I’m shocked at the results. Love it. Why didn’t I do this before?! Honestly it’s because I didn’t see results in the first week and figured it would take too long so I just quit. But this time I stuck with it and by around week 2 I started seeing them. Now my chest is undoubtedly becoming more defined. Once you actually see results it’s very motivating to keep going. Stick with it. In about 2-3 weeks youlle see a difference. I’m just over a month in.
You did it every day of the month? or had some rest, like from monday to saturday and resting on saturday?
Also, you do them fast? or controlled and holding the contraction?
@@paquito4147 I do them everyday and I’m not really sore. I didn’t wanna stop cause I’d fall back into not doing them. But when I do my first set I can feel my muscles getting pulled and love it. But no doubt have I seen the middle chest line finally start to form. But I’m very lean and had no muscle there so if you have to lose weight first not sure how fast it will come in for you. I actually lost a lot of my love handle weight by walking fast with my dog daily and sweating. I was drinking to many beers too so now I have less than one a day while cooking dinner.
I’m actually doing my push ups on the picnic table seats. So I’m elevated a bit. I saw a TH-cam vid on different styles of push ups. These are suppose to be easier but I still am seeing results. And it’s way easier for me that getting in the dirty floors. I travel around the country in an Rv so I’m always in areas with dirt. So I started doing it with my hands on the bench seat and continued it. I go all the way down and back up at a steady pace. Give myself a 5 minute break then do another 20. Yesterday I took a pic of myself in the camper door reflection and huge difference. Seeing the results makes me wanna continue. Wish you luck too!
@@RVingTheCountry did you see results in your arms at all?
I do 80 - 100 pushups with every workout, which is about 6 days/week. I've eased into this over a period of probably 6-8 months starting by doing 1 set of 25 per day, which became a set of 25 + a set of 10, then 25 + 20, then 25+ 20 + 10 etc until my current routine which is 25 + 25 + 15 + 15 OR 25 + 25 + 25 + 15 +10. I've noticed that over this 6-8 months I can see development in my upper chest, front of my shoulders, core, pretty much what you'd expect. The results are not dramatic but i do it for core strength and a bit of explosive chest strength (for boxing). If you want more muscle growth you should probably get to a point where you can do 200 push ups in 10 - 15 minutes, then do this only once or twice a week. I think you'd get more hypertrophy that way, not necessarily strength, but it would help you look pretty good.
Starting with knee pushups is fine too. thx for the video
I do 4 sets of 80-100 push ups a day after I suffered a hemorrhagic stroke last year. The results are freaking awesome from 112 kg to 66kg in just 3 months. My left side got paralyzed but now I'm 3x stronger than my pre stroke self 😂
Im a 13 year old and i did this challenge for the month of December. Before the challenge, my chest was very weak. I could do ten pushups and then I would be so tired. The experience was very fun though, and I would track my pushups in sets of ten. I even did 3 days going 200 per day just because I felt like it. By the end of the month, you could clearly see my lateral tricep head and my chest had grown significantly larger, and I was also able to do a one hand pushup (still able to).
Respect bro im 14 and at 13 sheesh, you need pure discipline for that keep going
@@NpR222 thanks bro
god damnn bro i just started doing 100 push ups everyday 2 days ago
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.
Keep it up” big Kodak 👑
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 do about 80 to 100 pushups a day. I've been doing it for about 2 months now. My face and neck is thinner and my arms and chest have more definition. What's great about pushups is you can do it anywhere. I on my computer almost every hour and thus, when I need to do a break, I do pushups.
Samething for me. But after watching the video, I'll mix between high bar and push ups because I don't want to see me back lean forward 😂
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.
Been doing 100-250 puchups everyday since april, definitely seen results👍
