I am doing 50 pushups a day for August 2023. My goal is to do 50 pushups in a single set. So far I have made it to what I call the faux 50, where technically I do 50 pushups without resting but my form is sub-par. Today I backpedaled and did two higher-quality sets of 25 pushups, for only 50 quality pushups in total! I think this is the best approach overall to be able to do a real set of 50 by the end of August.
I did a 5-minute breath work session between the two sets and that is available to view after the two sets of pushups.
Then after that, I share my experience of leaving first thing in the morning to buy a water heater before my household wakes up and then installing the water heater with my dad at our rental property.

morning it’s 6 30 in the morning this is David Comer for improvement Dave arriving in the morning it’s to buy a water heater and then hopefully he can get take some time off work and get that put in so my tenant has hot water also I recently heard in a song silence brings the greatest creativity I think a lot of times in our world we’re so focused on doing the thing or getting ahead or becoming something greater we don’t realize that just doing nothing is actually sometimes what we really need to just empty ourselves calm down
find some stasis
hello this is David Comer with Improvement Dave day 21 of my 50 push-up a day challenge for Saint Jude Research Hospital so we had a water heater go out so I put in a water heater today it took about eight hours of cutting copper and working with black iron pipe and then I got to carry a 40 gallon water heater up a flight of stairs so I really felt that in my back today so we’re going to see how the push-ups go I’m feeling pretty totaled actually already and I haven’t even started so set number one
eight ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen 17 18 I think
34. oh it’s 34-25 very difficult
that hurts it’s a good pain right here he’s feeling today the back actually wasn’t as bad which is ironic because the back really hurt when I was pulling that 40-gallon tank up very short carpeted stairs with a two-wheel dolly
Right set two this set is standing between me and some fresh beef tacos I wanted to point that out I gotta get through this and keep it moving so I can regain some muscle mass by eating some cows that are seasoned with taco seasoning and I might add some extra oregano just because that’s how I roll and I’ll probably add some hot sauce and I got these tortillas made out of almonds they’re actually really good they’re really good I got them from Costco it’s where I get most of my things [Music] all right except for this shirt I got this shirt for free from St Jude because they’re awesome all right here we go step two
three
Oh five six seven eight [Music] one two three two fourteen fifteen Seventeen eighteen oh do it for the tacos man do it for the tacos Taco Time Monday Taco Monday could be one because I think I lost count all right [Applause] my name is David Comer and this is Improvement Dave thank you so much for watching up next you can see some footage of me doing some preparation in between sets I do some heavy breathing a little bit of the coffee grinder move it’s good stuff all right see you next time thanks so much for tuning in and take her easy
This is a preparation I do in between sets just some simple breathe breathing I was going to say breath work but then I almost said breathing work
Sometimes I find the second set is actually easier than the first set because I’ve done this as preparation and it’s ironic because I’ve already done 25 push-ups.s Why is another 25 push-ups easier it says a lot about the benefits of just simple breath work also I recently heard in a song silence brings the greatest creativity right I think a lot of times in our world we’re so focused on doing the thing or getting ahead or becoming something greater we don’t realize that just doing nothing is actually sometimes what we really need is to just empty ourselves calm down
find some stasis my name is David Comer this is Improvement Dave thank you so much for tuning in if you want to watch a little bit more I have a little bit of video and footage of me purchasing a water heater at Menards
morning it’s 6:30 in the morning This is David Kolmer for improvement Dave out here making the hustle out of water heater fail at a rental property we’re out here driving in the morning at six in the morning 6 29 to buy a water heater and then hopefully he can get taking some time off work and get that and put in so my tenant has hot water number 10 doesn’t seem overly concerned that there’s no hot water I mean it’s really hot out right now and they have a friend nearby or maybe family and they can go take showers but I’d much rather just get this taken care of the real issue is that the igniter doesn’t work on the water heater so you just can’t get it started we could replace the igniter but the water heater is nearly 20 years old it’s just under 20 years old so it’s pretty much the lifespan of the water heater and point we’re thinking let’s just get a new one so let’s do this let’s get out there let’s get that Hustle Hustle
thank you
This is David Kolmer for improvement Dave making it happen making it happen for the hustle
