I stopped doing the challenge a while back. Now I just do the ones included in my training. 120 push-ups on mondays 🫑

For tips:

Hands shoulder width apart

Brace your core

Brace the glutes

Breathe out when you go up

does bracing mean like fully tensing them up? or just keeping them a bit sturdier?

i know it's semantics, just out of curiosity

Contract the glutes and abs. (As you contract the glutes, the abs will contract a bit too). It’ll give you stability while you do the exercise

Ohh, that makes a ton of sense, thanks a lot bud

My pleasure

Don't contract glutes too hard because then the sphincter comes into play

every day is anyway wrong for resistance exercise, you need a day off between work or you overtrain

I get that. The challenge was 100 pushups per day until bitcoin his 100k. 100 push ups is not a lot of volume compared to my regular training though. But totally agree with you on the fact that the challenge is not an optimal way to train.

Be sure to tuck your shoulderjoint into its socket and keep it there

i am not quite sure what you mean by that tbh, like tuck my elbows more in or my shoulders further back
