Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Here is my push-up story. I decided to commit myself to pushups several years ago. There wasn’t a gym that I could access and pushups were my best bet. I remember my first attempt, and I could barely do any. I think my personal high had been just shy of 20 and that was a struggle.
So, 3 times a week I committed myself to doing them. Also, I tried to do five equal sets. So, I started at like 10, but then with a rest in between each, tried to do 5 sets of 10. Well, over the course of two years, I got to a point where I was doing 120 pushups per set. 120 x 5 sets, so roughly 600 pushups per session. Eventually my living situation changed and I was able to go to a gym, so I tried other routines.
But, I wanted to say, if you want to get good at pushups, all you gotta do is stick with it. That said, I never noticed pushups to be the thing that made a very noticeable difference to my physique. It did help a bit, but I also just looked kinda the same as I had previously. It’s very possible to be able to do a lot of pushups, but also to not look jacked.
