    Wow im stoked i did that many! I am going to be starting a new pushup challenge here pretty soon i will put a link here when i do. I based this challenge on how much i think i could do so the next one will probably be 2,300 pushups in 30 days. You do not have to do all 1,500 or the 2,300 they are just what i want to hit in 30 days; how ever many you can do is all that counts!

    I am going to start a new one tomorrow but you can finish this 1,500 one before you start the other theres no rush or you can stop this one and start the new one up to you. I was wondering if you stopped or not and good job! your almost done!

    For me yes. This is only my second month of doing pushups since i began losing weight (600 the first month and 2100 the second) my strength has increased greatly. The back of my arms are way more toned and muscular, my shoulders are more toned and my chest has more muscles when i flex it. All this with only two months i can't wait to see what a couple more months of being consistent brings.

    Hi @nuvia4 ,

    For me, it hasn't really changed me physically in itself.

    I am fairly lean and I have good delts and pecs. I've been doing push-ups for a few years but I used to do 3 sets of 15 every other day, never pushing myself to do more. I do lift heavy 3 times a week and am fairly active otherwise.

    This challenge has made me push myself to increase my endurance and it does make me feel like a badass that I will have been able to do 1500 in a month although honestly I think next month I will need to make sure I take one day rest between push-up days to recover.

    I haven't finished this one yet. I have 5 more days to go and I'm at 1250 for the month. I've done 50 push-ups each of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday this week.

    While I've lost 6 pounds since beginning the push-up challenge, I can say with certainty that my muscle groups used in the push-up have strengthened. 3 weeks ago I could barely do 20 push-ups in a set. Now I can barely do 25.

    I'm still doing 50 each day. I'm going to wrap up the May challenge with a couple hundred tomorrow then start the June challenge Sunday.
