Alright, what is the trick to stop falling behind. Today I was only able to do 17. Do I need to take a day or two off or just keep going? I recover way faster now to do another rep. Is it the mental part as I am forcing myself now? I also think it could be the morning reps?
 

Highly recommend the audio book if anyone enjoyed his college speech. His voice and delivery is awesome as he narrates his books. It only takes 1 person singing!

Being in the morning without being warmed up you won't be able to do as many as you did the 100 rep day. If you did 17 cold, you could probably eat breakfast get all your crap ready for work start your truck go back in and bust your 23 or whatever your number is out way easier the with your blood pumping some or your sore and not recovered......but you shouldnt be doing do your max number for a wake up set everyday. 1/2 to 3/4 your max for one set just to set your mind for the day. This is more to stay disciplined, but you will get stronger and used to it doing it daily and be sble to increase your number as the days go by. There is no trick of not falling behind, just doing it is the trick. The vast majority of men your age probably can't do 17 push ups. Good job
 
Fasted morning workouts will be drastically different than fed evening workouts. Recovery is not a bad idea at our age. If every day is the desire, do 25 a day for a couple weeks, then 35, and so on. Work your way to the goal of 100.
