Nice job. 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).

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

I’m usually do a thing where I try to do 300 with in a routine, four variations while doing arms and something else in between, but never 100 in a 5 minutes. 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.

Perpecular difference would be if thrusting till the end will teach your body to really remember the weight because you are going to failure i.e building greater form and size – on the other hand x sets is for stamina… thinking about it, long and short energy release, so geasing the groove, x sets is optimal for now…

Your not scrawny actually probably a powerful metabolism mate…being thin you have advantage now you could say of being self tactical with your bodyweight! 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…..

Based on your sequence, try 15 a set all the way, you will get there, stamina forms to the more sets you can do… maxing to failure builds short progressive strength, more sets and you will carry yourself easier for longer – once you notice gains in stamina its a great idea to mix it up…. once you can fact it everyday, you will start to know your limits which you can begin to create and explore many ways of the strength in yourself including shaping your whole frame and posture- Dedication…. its the only way to gain stamina!!!!!

For “greasing the groove” is there any rep target or limits or is it best to just get as much as you can in while not going to complete failure? 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?

im a scrawny 14 year, but i managed around 63 at a two foot incline. I`m going to keep up this routine thow because i need to get bigger. Is this any good?

i checked it out but think that their idea of a push up is different to the ones noted, by the way, its physically impossible to get that amount on the human based energy and retreival??? think about it 300 seconds to do 441 thats an equivalent one and a half presses per second for 5 mins straight without rest.. and i know for sure a decent amount of rest makes it harder for the long distance thats why i do 12 sets and go a better time than 10 sets for me so far… all the way up and down, i did it over 12 sets of 25 with 6 seconds and under rest between each set that includes getting up off the floor then back down because the need of preliminary breathing and only got 5:57, my ribs and ankles become bruised for at least a day or two… so its hard to understand if you know what i mean. i reckon i get over 441 if i did a half thrust, all the vids i see at least make you think about it, although i read somewhere before that not only a handful of people in the world will get 300 in 5 flat so im following and chasing this, but no proof is kinda frustrating… help me!! i dont want to feel aimed

Wow. I think you just won this challenge! Nicely done. I think if you want a new challenge…go for one of these records next:

Apparently the world record for pushups in 5 minutes by a man is 441.
