That's actually how I started. I would do 10 pushups, 10 sets throughout the day. A week later, 15 pushups, 7 sets throughout the day. In that way, I think I was following the technique laid out in the article and heartily recommend it for someone starting out. I was also dealing with some level of tendonitis in my elbow when I started so doing it this way also helped deal with the pain and working on my form to eventually reduce it and remove pain from the process.

Eventually, I decided to work on building muscle as well and started doing them in a smaller time frame, within the morning, for example. Now I do the 100 within 10 minutes or so: 4 sets with a 3 minute rest in between. I feel like I've seen changes in my physique since entering this latest phase.
