Not that impressive? Fuck that! You're doing something that takes work, which many people will never bother to do. What's not impressive?
Good job, comrade.

Thanks! I get a little down on myself sometimes because back in the day I was absolutely jacked. 100 pushups in a row was part of a warm up. But it's nice to see that as a realistic thing to get back too.
making us proud comrade keep it up
I am so proud of you.
Going for that One Punch Man workout routine?
It’s crazy how quick you can actually get there.
I was a skinny dude my whole life. I started doing 100 pushups a day, every day. Not at once, but like 100 throughout whole day. Wake up, and before I go to bed I do 100.
I typically did 20, 20, 10, 20, 20, 10.
Been 6 months and I can do 50 slow, good form pushups consecutively. Doesn’t take long if you do abit every day.
Now you just have to do 100 sit up.
100 squats.
And a 1k run.
EVERY DAY!!!
My old man knees don't do squats but I started adding situps a couple weeks ago.
It's impressive as hell, keep goin. I just did 10 sad ones so i could fully appreciate your strength now my arms will probably be sore
10 sad ones is how you start!
Nice comrade! For anyone else out there looking to get in shape but kind of intimidated by busy gyms with people lifting twice your body weight (me), calisthenics are an excellent solution.
