100+ push ups

[krzychicano]

I can also do between 80 and a 100 in two minutes. When I was in the army the most I ever knocked out was 113 in 2 minutes. Needless to say after the PT test it was pukeville for me.

How much do fingertip and knuckle push-ups screw your hands up?

[martial-athlete]

The hundred push-up goal is impressive but you may want to ask yourself what it adds to your martial arts specfic skill and training. while 100 push-ups is a great goal it will only build your muscular endurance not your explosiveness...aka speed-strength. If your gola is to train with a sport-specific goal in mind look towards excercises that will help you achieve that goal

[SevenStar]

the thing about MA and fitness in general is that not everyone has fighting or ma specific goals. Actually, in this case though, it can be specific. endurance may be the MA specific skill that he wants. If you are fighting in a ring and lack leg endurance, your legs get wobbly. If you are a grappler, endurance in the chest and tris will be very helpful, making a case for the 100 push up program.

Don't forget...push-ups can be done explosively, I rarely do them slowly.

 

senna_trem- They don't if you do them correctly and in moderation.

Go down slow , go fast up => train explosiveness and endurance and that are 2 things that you need as a MA (personal opinion)

 

If you want to get to 100 there a many ways.

 

Day # 1 : do 1 push up

 

Day # 2 : do 2 push up's

 

...

 

Day # 100 : do 100 push up's (WHIEE)

 

Or you can start with sets and reps

 

like 4*15 then 4*20 then 4*25

 

then pull the sets together 3*33 , 2*50 then 60 + 40 and so on

 

I do now 5*25 push ups (1min rest in between) , if I do them straight after each other I can do 80 - 90

[CadetRay]

i can do 40 max on my p[alm righ now n i try to do the every monday n some other times n every week i add 5 more push ups to my goal. the best way should be just doing them.

Doing pushing while you clap 1 time in your hands.. is that good?

[CadetRay]

Ah I hate that ... if you want to make it harder you can also rease your feet.

 

Or do handstand push ups, I love those
