I did my initial test yesterday and was only able to get out 20 push ups, so I have some work to go. I'm going to start the program tomorrow

Started at 2, lol. Currently 38 is my max.
>> Anonymous
I am the 3rd time in week 3 and dude it is getting fukken boring

I always fail at the last level, where you gotta do max or at least 25 push ups
I can barely do 15 in the end

shitsux, but I want to do 100 fucking push ups!

Anybody completed the program here? How long did it take you overall and maybe any tips? I don't seem to improve very much at all...

Starting at week four here. I'm gonna see how well the routine can scale aiming for 150+ by the end of my seventh week.

Took me 8 weeks in total, had to repeat a few weeks several times.

If you can't finish the week, do the week again. It's that, or you're going to fail to get the 100 push ups off at the end.

yeah but i don't seem to improve much with my push ups at the last level

The other levels I can do, they are hard, but i achieve the required amount of push ups.

I started this a while back, then quit when I was doing military service and had access to a good weightroom. Now I'm back in civilian life so I started doing it again. I decided to start where I left off, week 3. Day 1 was a breeze, but I don't know how the others will go.

I also started the same progression scheme with pullups, I don't know if that's a good idea or not but I'm giving it a few weeks before I decide. I started at the beginning for that one though.

i did this and i can do 100 now but i used to do 80 like nothing so i guess it works.

Can you give us the pullup scheme thing? I weight 190 lbs but can only do 10, 11 max. And the "do 80% of your max everytime you pass under the bar" thing is getting dull.

What's the point of doing 100 push ups? Do you ever see anyone at the gym bench pressing 120lbs 100 times? Add more resistance instead of adding more reps.

I'm actually doing the exact same scheme as for the pushups, from the same website. As I said, I have no idea if that will work out or not, the progression may get too steep after a while. It may well be a better idea to start doing weighted ones instead, but I'm giving this a try for now.

My dear sir, I'm sorry to announce it in this particular fashion, but you're just a bloody idiot.

So can I do the program without rest days?

Different strokes for different folks.
I find the idea of being able to churn out 100 pushups manly as fuck. Functional fitness all the way.

Shittt, I got to like week 3 and forgot all about it.

Might start it again, although its kinda pointless.

But why not add more weight instead of doing more reps?
I can't imagine someone using their pectoral so much they need to increase their endurance unless they are athletes.

No, it's not. Even if you're just going to bench press.

Body weight endurance exercises increase overall joint strength, which in the end allows you to set your plateau for bench press, squats, whatever composite lift quite a bit higher, then what you would have had, if you didn't do them.

It's a different goal to have. Your argument holds no water, most people who lift weights don't actually NEED the muscle.

Me I intend to be able to do 100 pushups. After that, 100 decline pushups. After that, 100 handstand pushups. Will this help me in my daily activities? Fuck no, but I want to be able to do it. I'm a functional fitness guy, I'd rather bang on an old tire with a sledge hammer and have the calluses to show for it then do lat pulldowns. And I prefer pushups to bench pressing, pullups to biceps curls.

you need to rest in order to build muscle. i did this and im able to do 100 however, i was able to do high reps before. i never trained on consecutive days because that is not conducive to muscle building. this concept is body building 101.

Some of us are athletes you know. More specific, I would be a boxer, we do a good ~300(6*50)+ total push ups each training day.

Muscle BUILDING.

Doing 100 push ups is an endurance exercise, not an exercise that will build muscle.

Why do you think that your endurance improves? There's a whole lot of muscle building going on or else there would be no progress. Are you really this stupid?

i do not concur. if you haven't done any kind of chest or triceps exercise you will build muscle with push ups. besides how would you explain that someone who only does push ups is able to press 400 + pounds... thats a friend of mine. according to max rep calculator i could do 300 lbs in my bench press and i seldom work out my chest with weights.

You obviously know nothing about building muscle. If you can do 15 reps of any exercise, add more weight if you're trying to build muscle. Endurance exercises build very little muscle.

Unless he does some form of hardcore planche pushups you're obviously lying

Try lifting 300 lbs if all you do are push ups. Heavy weight lifting is a job that is allocated to Type-II fiber muscles, endurance training is type Type-I fiber. These are completely different muscles being trained.

I call bullshit.

Right hand side.

And you're obviously talking out of your ass. To go from being able to do 15 pushups to being able to do 100 pushups requires muscle building. Obviously heavier reps build MORE muscle, but doing a progression builds muscle as well and rest days are a must, which is what this is about.

I wouldn't do 100 reps as a workout and expect to get XBOX HUEG pecs, but building up to that many reps obviously requires muscle growth.

Not really, you don't really "build" Type 1 muscle fiber. You just strengthen them, go look at the physiques of your average pro marathon runner.

No no. What he is saying is that it builds the two different muscle types. Slow twitch and fast twitch.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/body/factfiles/fastandslowtwitch/soleus.shtml
>Slow twitch muscle fibres: Contract slowly, but keep going for a long time
>Fast twitch muscle fibres: Contract quickly, but rapidly get tired
http://sportsmedicine.about.com/od/anatomyandphysiology/a/MuscleFiberType.htm

So basically not adding weight will plateau your FAST TWITCH muscle fibers, but continuing to use that same weight will increase your SLOW TWITCH muscle fibers.

I didn't say it doesn't build muscle. For a dude who never lifted before, pushups may be a good exercise to start building pecs but you can't compare it to benching heavy.

Simple case of misunderstanding then, we both meant pretty much the same thing and read things into each other's posts that weren't actually there.
