Good idea for the push up workout.

I tried it out today and got to 40.

I think I will do this 5 minute workout each time I feel like going to the fridge.

Regards

Don

For an added challenge you could start adding additional weight or use a resistance band (looped around your body and secured with your hands on the floor). Nice job.

Will depend on how often you "grease the groove", but 50-70% of # reps max is a good place. Start with about 50% of what you think your “max” # reps would be.

I went for it the first day, got 110 on normal width then 109 on wide at the end of my workout. Wasn't a huge challenge but it was a lot of fun and was pumped when I was able to complete them. Can't wait for the atomic push ups and 200 squats make me their bitch.

Your young although paying keen interest is top objective, try close grip pushups close to what they call a diamond push up, pump till failure then with less than 5 seconds rest spread to shoulder or wider and go till failure once again, repeat this 4 times with any desired gap...Eat your meals AFTER workout ( milk is good ) Its not as profound as you think, i was once too thin as well.....

In other words, should one set a goal of "X" reps, or just let things happen over the course of the day, perhaps some days getting a little, some getting a lot?
