[OC] Tracking my push-ups in 2020. My New Year’s resolution, was to do 100 push-ups in one go. It was a slow burn, took over 8 months and 48 attempts to build up my strength and stamina (Age 49)

Used excel and some basic formatting.

Hitting 100 made me look up the world record, I must be close right?

“The world record for the most number of non-stop push-ups is 10,507 by Minoru Yoshida of Japan, which was achieved in October 1980, breaking the record of 7,650 by Henry C. Marshal (USA) from 1977.”

Okay, maybe my next target should be 150 or 200.

If you are interested to know how many push-ups you should be able to do based on your age:

I'm 20 and know enough people my age who couldn't even do the 36 you started with, you can be proud

Am I strange that a single spreadsheet inspires me to do the same..?
