I failed my 20-pushups-a-day resolution in 2019. (Gave up in April after I couldn’t recover from a deficit.) Trying again for 2020. It’s a leap year so I’ve got 7,320 to do. I’m gonna use this thread and the hashtag #7320in2020 to keep track.
Day 2/366
Almost forgot because I’m not in the habit. Gonna try to do them first thing tomorrow. Did 10 and 10. Already feeling sore. Yikes.

Did them in the morning again. (Hey two days in a row!) Felt pretty good at 10 and 10, but I definitely hit my limit near 9 or 10 on a set. Trying to decrease time between sets to build up to 15 and 5.

Day 31
I’m a little behind. Didn’t do my pushups on Friday. Just made them up now on Saturday morning. But on the bright side, today was the first day I could do 20 straight instead of 10&10 and they were even good form. Went for 15&5 and made it to 20.

Day 34
(Should be 20 pushups for 2/3/20)
I have bronchitis and I think I may have also pulled a muscle in my chest. There’s some pain when I try to do pushups. Although I made up pushups yesterday, I didn’t do the pushups for that day.
