I got about 9½ pushups in before my arms gave out and I had to roll out of it and give up LOL!
I’m 43 years old for reference, but my main preferred exercise is BMX flatland, which generally exercises the legs more than the arms. I did make sure as best as I could to keep my back and legs straight for proper pushups.
I guess I’m getting old, I’m sore today…
Edit: Tonight I managed 10, yay me! I really should give my muscles a bit of a break for a few days or so…
Edit 2: Thank you kind strangers for the words of encouragement and motivation! I do think I need to take a bit of a break for a few days or so, but I do plan to work on more exercises as such every couple days or so at my convenience…
Truth be told, I just recovered from a right side thigh muscle pulled tendon, I almost couldn’t even walk for like 5 days.
The moment I realized that pain was fading, I’m like fuckit, I need to get out and try to stretch and flex all my muscles! By 2:30pm yesterday I was able to get out and walk our dog again. By about 7pm last night was when I tried pushups, got close to my goal too.
Today, about 6pm, even being sore, I managed to get 10 pushups in 👍
But yeah you’re right, I really should take a bit of a break…
