BODYBUILDING WITH PUSH UPS WORKOUT SECRET TIPS

Working towards 100 + Pushups

by Robert C. Shouse DISCLAIMER: Below are the things I have practiced and the results I've achieved. The same results/effects will not necessarily be achieved by anyone practicing the same way. No physical responsibility is assumed for anyone attempting this routine. From past experience with martial arts one way to increase the amount of push-ups you can do is by doing partials while alternating with different types of push-ups. This routine assumes that you are able to do 30 complete push-ups with out resting. By partials I mean restricting the range of motion to just under 1/2 of a complete rep. Always touch the floor with your chest (when possible) and come up almost half-way then back down. A sample routine would look like this: Week 1 & 2 Every other day POSITION #1 Triangle push-ups (you should touch your thumbs to your xiphoid process (lightly!) when trying to touch your chest to the ground) 5 partials 5 complete 7 partials 7 complete rest 90 seconds POSITION #2 Move hands to shoulder length apart (the tips of your fingers should be aligned with the tops of your sholders) 5 partials 5 complete 7 partials 7 complete rest 90 seconds POSITION #3 Move your hands out until, during mid rep, your upper arms will be perpendicular to your forearms. The hands should remain in the same position relative to the shoulders (ie move them "out" in a straight line) 5 partials 5 complete 7 partials 7 complete Week 3 2 days on, 1 off; 2 on, 1 off; 1 on POSITION #1 Until failure Week 4 & 5 1 on, 2 off; 2 on, 1 off; 1 on, 2 off; 1 on, 2 off; 1 on, 1 off POSITION #1 7 partials 7 complete 12 partials 12 complete rest 120 seconds POSITION #2 7 partials 7 complete 12 partials 12 complete rest 120 seconds POSITION #3 7 partials 7 complete 12 partials 12 complete Week 6 2 on, 1 off; 2 on, 1 off; 1 on POSITION #1 Until failure rest 240 seconds POSITION #2 Until failure Week 7 & 8 1 off, 1 on; 2 off, 1 on; 1 off, 1 on; 2 off, 2 on; 1 off, 1 on; 1 off POSITION #1 15 partials 15 complete rest 90 seconds 40 complete rest 240 seconds POSITION #2 15 partials 15 complete rest 90 seconds 40 complete rest 240 seconds POSITION #3 15 partials 15 complete rest 90 seconds 40 complete rest 240 seconds Week 9 2 on, 1 off; 2 on, 1 off; 1 on POSITION #1 Until failure rest 240 seconds POSITION #2 Until failure rest 240 seconds POSITION #3 Until failure rest 240 seconds Week 10 1 off, 1 on; 2 off, 1 on; 1 off, 1 on POSITION #2 100 complete Do 100 push-ups in POSITION #2 at least twice a week for maintenance.
