I do a 100 M-F. Should probably do more but 100 5 days a week will keep you in good looking shape. I do 50 in a row. 1 min break. Then 30 and 20 the same break.

When I was in the military I did about 500-700 a day. Not all at once though, through a 24 hour day.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Should be easy. I don’t know what you do for work, but if you work from home you literally can do 25 every hour if you feel like it. Takes maybe a minute of your time.

If you're going to do a bunch of bodyweight, get a doorframe bar and do a bunch of chinups. Then add some overhead stuff. Pushups aren't needed.

Push-ups are the core to any bodyweight routine

When you do compound movements, the entire section of the body gets hit so you don't need a million different variations. Chinup + overhead = upper body done. Less movements = you can focus on incrementally increasing them without distractions.

You should do a pushup every other day, so 8 every two weeks.

When I am off weight training and only doing bodyweight stuff, I tend to do 250 press-ups every other day.

I start off with a 30 set, then rest, then 15-20...then sets of 10 when I am getting fatigued.

Go to a fucking gym. Feed off of the energy. Be social. Do -

3x15 - hammer curls, flat bench press, flyes, pull-ups, leg raises, leg press.

Start with light weight and keep increasing the weight every month. Progressive Overload.

Go 3+ days a week.
