My goal is to do 50 pushups in a single set. I am doing 50 pushups a day for August 2023. I reached a new record of 32 pushups in a single set.
In this video, I also delve into more of the preparation I am doing to be able to continuously do 50 pushups a day without taking a day off for repair.
Ice Baths
I have been taking ice baths every day after my pushups. Today I added all of the ice I had prepared. I hope it got down close to 10 degrees Celsius but I didn’t take a temperature. Previously I have only stayed in the ice bath for 4 minutes, but today I did the full 15 minutes of the cold plunge
Breathwork
In the video, I share that in between sets I have been doing some simple breathwork.
Breathe in for 4 counts. Hold for 4 counts and exhale for 4 counts. Normally you would hold for 4 after you exhale but I am finding that skipping that is beneficial to load more oxygen into my system. In the video I call this a “very calm hyperventilating,” and it has helped me do more pushups in my second set.
