About My Challenge

The first time I participated in this was in 2021. The same year I had shoulder surgery after seriously damaging it from swimming — I went through months of rehab, and still had a long list of things I simply couldn't do. Pushups were one of them. I hadn't been able to do a single one in years.

I signed up anyway. My shoulders were weak, my core was weak, and I had no idea if I'd make it through. But I did every single rep — around 3,000 in total — and by the end I felt like a different person.

That was four years ago. I haven't stopped since, i still do a significant number of pushups in my daily routine.
