Road to 100 Pushups: The Daily Program

This is the exact training protocol that I've used hundreds of times to help Students get to their goal of 100 consecutive men style pushups. Consult with a physician before starting this or any exercise program! After determining your present maximum of pushups, we use a little bit of math and get our "training number". This number is what you do once per day... ONE set... to stimulate the necessary processes in your body that will increase your endurance. If you do 30 pushups (max) without putting down your knees or doing "Pike's Peak", then 30 X .6 = 18... your daily training number. If you do 8 pushups (max) then multiply times .6 and drop the decimal to get your training number. 8 X .6 = 4.8... therefore your daily training number is 4. Do your training number everyday for a week. Then, on the seventh day begin adding ONE pushup per day. It's that simple. Once you pass your former "max", test yourself again. You will likely have a new, much better "max" number. This new max will be the basis for determing your new training number. Multiply your max times .6, drop any decimal, and add one pushup per day. I've personally coached dozens of people to over 100 pushups with this simple program. It works because of consistency with gradual but steady improvement. Another secret is that it avoids overtraining. Do only one set per day, even if you are tempted to do more. This reduces the possibility of injury and gives you the ability to recover even with daily output. Always check with a licensed physician first before starting this or any exercise program.
