One Pull Up and One Pushup [Day 1] (theredpill)

submitted ago by Native

Clamhurt made a post 22 days ago, that was great and here is the reasoning:

"Clammy that's fucking gay I can do at least 10 pullups and 50 pushups."

Cool story, bro. Did you do any today? Yesterday?

If you do them every day, you're all set, you don't need this post.

If you haven't done any since last week, or last month, or last time there was a thread in here about doing them, then listen to this.

The working out might not be as hard as getting yourself to do it every day.

You know what's not hard? Flossing. I fucking hate flossing. It took some effort to get myself to floss every day. Flossing isn't difficult, making yourself floss is. The discipline of doing it every day might be what you actually need to work on.

1 pushup is BS. It's really, really hard to justify not doing even ONE pushup and ONE pullup. Do it literally every day. When you get overwhelmed by how dumb only one of each is, you're free to do more, but you are NEVER allowed to not do at least one.

I'm going to start doing this. Anybody else going to commit to at least ONE pullup and pushup every single day?

Or is that too big of a commitment for you?

So, i'm commiting to this and just did mine

Since making that post I have had the following missed days:

  1. The period between my wife going into labor and us being discharged from the hospital

  2. One day when I had a baby on me and got distracted from doing it right before bed.

I doubt my wife will go into labor again anytime soon (lol), plus it was a workout anyway. The amount of counterpressure needed was unreal....

So I only need to worry about the other thing. I've been doing them right before bed, but I think a better solution is do them in the morning. That way, if I miss that opportunity I have plenty of time left to make up for it.

I also bumped up my goal to at last 2 pullups, and five times as many pushups as pullups. Isn't it great? But I can still drop down to one if I need to.

Yup your household is quite active now isn’t it!

I’m with you on doing it in the morning because the adrenaline gets going and helps wake me up while doing it at night keeps me up.

I hope others see this and follow through
