So I've started 30 pushups every 30 minutes. Starting at 9am and ending at midnight. Whenever the clock hits :00 or :30, I hit the ground and crank 'em out. If I'm at work, I just crank 'em out where no one can see and get back to work.
Honestly, this feels natural. I've been able to do 100 in a row for awhile, so this isn't exhausting, but gives an awesome soreness by bedtime. I think humans were meant more to be constantly expending moderate amounts energy than just dedicating an hour a day to a big burst of energy, but I'm still going about my regular gym routine in addition to this in background.

enjoy your high levels of cortisol (inhibits muscle growth) and your nostrength (dat muscular endurance, tho)

at least try to do some kind of progression where you start to elevate your feet as sets get too easy, or through on weight plates, or move to more difficult variations (i am a fan of archer push ups)
if you do that, you will actually make gains... but nowhere near as good as if you stopped with the calisthenic nonsense and picked up a barbell

I'm not really looking for gains, I just like being active

I did something like this for months when I didn't have access to a gym. All that happened was that I maintained my strength and ended up getting sore shoulders that stopped when I was able to go to the gym normally. If this is all you do, you'll also end up with a muscle imbalance unless you do horizontal pulling as well

Isn't cortisol released due to stress? Push-ups make me feel great, which is the opposite of stress.

Nah, this isn't the only thing I'm doing. I have a gym with all the barbells and dumbbells that I need, I just also do pushups every 30 minutes.
>doing stupid shit while trying to reinvent the wheel without looking up legit info
>>35096637
That's dumb and you're going to end up with lmao no chest since you're literally never letting that muscle recover

Pretty comfortable with my chest. Not trying to be a bodybuilder or anything, I just like to move and pushups are fun

i can understand you not wanting to be a bodybuilder or whatever, but why not progress to more and more difficult variations of push ups like
>>35096679 suggested, as you develop your strength?

>think humans were meant more to be constantly expending moderate amounts energy than just dedicating an hour a day to a big burst of energy
they also weren't meant to be aesthetic as FUUARK brah.
no but seriously the difference between aerobic and anaerobic exercise is DRASTIC
there is a reason anaerobics are preferred for strength and mass.
aerobics are great for cardio, though
