A simple 30-day structure
Start below your max, add reps gradually, and use rest days when your form starts to break. The goal is consistency first, volume second.
- Days 1-7: easy daily sets and form practice
- Days 8-20: gradual volume increases
- Days 21-30: test days, recovery days, and a final max set
Count the reps as you do them
A challenge gets messy when every day depends on memory. PUSHapp lets you count the set as it happens, then keeps the result in your progress history.
Make it competitive
Invite friends to a private leaderboard and the challenge becomes easier to stick with. The scoreboard handles the pressure for you.
Frequently asked questions
How many pushups should I start with?
Start with a number you can complete with clean form. For many beginners, that means several small sets instead of one max-effort set.
Should I do pushups every day for 30 days?
Some people can, but rest days are useful when your joints feel irritated or your form declines. Consistency does not require forcing max effort daily.
Can PUSHapp track the challenge?
Yes. You can use PUSHapp to count reps, track daily totals, and compete with friends during the challenge.
