P.S. 35!!!!!!!! DAAAAAAMN man. You be cray cray. What was your highest pushup numbers before you started snailing?

Really nice numbers!

I was pretty fit pre-pandemic but haven't excercised so much since (apart from cycling). That was mostly bouldering, so mostly "pull" exercises rather than push-ups.

35 in one set might be a PB for me!

bouldering

Still do it? How much do you weigh? You'd have watched the amazing "free solo" doc I assume!

Also what country are you from?

Oh I don't climb outside, there are indoor climbing gyms which are getting really popular here in the UK!

I am not lean enough to be a serious climber. I think when I was active I hovered around 85 kg, but my ideal weight for my size would be closer to 75-80 kg. Body fat puts a huge limit on what you can do - try doing pull-ups with a 10 kg weight strapped to your back...!

Did you say you were from India?

Your lats must be pumped with all the climbing. Also the grip strength.

I have soft hands and pencil fingers. Been working on my grip strength using this Can do 13 max pull ups. Have tried with 6kg added weight with max 6 pulls. I only weight about 65kg.

I'm Indian. Do let me know if you come to south india. Any day would love to meet a bitcoiner.

I'd say my grip strength is pretty good, but of course when you have to haul all my flab it counts for less...!

13 pull-ups is really good. I think my max reps per set was around 10.

After I hit 100 push-ups I was thinking of starting a similar challenge with bodyweight rows / pull-ups for the lats!

40 more days to 100 pushups..

Gut says the US ETF hype would be a nothingburger. Some entity with deep pockets seem to be funding the spam attack, one could only wonder if they are also keeping the prices stagnant!?

Adding on pulls would be great. Maybe a bit of horse stance for your legs and mind! :)
