A day is a long time... but for those who can only do five at a time, 20 daily pushups would be more realistic.

I'll just start doing X daily pushups, and leave it up to you to imagine how ripped I am.

Still five of five? I did 60 this morning but the day is still going?

Yep. Day three was the hump, now it's just an inconvenience time-wise. X is a reasonable number for me - not the same as your 10 set daily ordeal, or trying to get them done around weight training like @GoatsShadow.

I'm not in great shape myself, when I was doing this previously I was doing five sets of 10 in the morning and 10 when I got the chance through the work day. Welcome aboard and hey even if it's five 20 times it's 100 more than you did yesterday.

Thanks, I'll try to update that other comment daily and see how far I get before missing a day.

You should do the same using a comment under your post, so people can insult you when you skip days (include the actual number of pushups if you like). I think public humiliation/accountability is supposed to be a part of this sort of thing.
