How to do 100 push-ups

Published: Tue, 11/03/15

What's the best upper body muscle building exercise that anyone can do anytime and anywhere?  

The answer is pushups.  

Pushups work the chest, shoulders, triceps, but due to the position  and the fact that you have to hold your body straight and rigid, they involve almost every muscle in the body.  

If you can do 20 that’s not too bad, if you can do 50 you’re above  average and if you want to join the elite club you'll want to  work up to 100 push ups without stopping.  

I'll bet even the strongest beach presser in your gym can't do 100 pushups in a row.  

Working up to this level will not only build up your chest but also give you awesome strength and endurance.  

Here is a simple program to help you reach the goal of 100 pushups.  

Do your pushups workouts 3 days a week such as Monday, Wednesday  and Friday.  

For your first set do as many pushup as you can, lets say for  example you do 30.  Rest 1 minute.  

Do another set of as many as you can, lets say for example you  do 20 this time.  So far you've done 50 total.  Rest 1 minute.  

Do another set and keep this up as many as you can followed by 1 minute rest and another set until you hit a total of 100 reps.  

Ok, now over the next several weeks you are going to work on  increasing the reps you can do each set while also decreasing the rest time by 10 seconds every week.  

In about 7 weeks you should be able to do 100 push ups without  stopping.  

If you missed that goal you still should be able to do more  pushups now then ever before, and to reach the goal of 100 just go back to week 1 and do the cycle all over again.
