Do 50 to 100 More Push Ups in as Little as 8 Weeks

Many physical qualifying tests require a max number of push ups for time. Whether you have one of these tests or just want to impress your friends. This routine can get you pumping out 100-200 push ups in a row in as little as 8 weeks.

This routine is simple to follow, but requires you to put out all of your effort every workout to see results. Even if you can only do 5 push ups right now, you will be doing 50-60 in 8 weeks. If you are already good at push ups and want to take your training higher stick with this
routine and see your push ups jump up over 100 reps.

The Miller Push Up Routine

Do 5 sets at 50% max effort with 1 minute rest between sets. So if you can normally only do 10, do 5 sets of 5. If you can normally do 100. Do 5 sets of 50.

After the last set stay in leaning rest position to failure. This means arms locked out, back strait, toes and hands touching the ground.

Rest 1 minute

Do 5 more sets at 75% max effort with 1 minute rest between sets. If your max is 10 do 7-8 per set. If your max is 100 do 75 per set.

After the last set stay in an iso push up to failure. This means arms at 90 degrees, triceps parallel to floor, only toes and hands touching the ground.

Rest 1 minute

Do 5 more sets at 100% max effort. Rest 1 minute between sets.

After the last set stay in leaning rest for 10 seconds, move to an iso push up for 10 seconds and back to leaning rest for 10 seconds. Continue to failure.

Start off doing this routine once a week on non-pressing days. After 2 weeks bump it up to 2 times per week. After 4 more weeks do this routine 3 times per week. At the end of 8 weeks, max out again on push ups. At this point you can change the numbers for 50% and 75% and continue the workout or be content at your current level of push ups. If you are testing, you should never be satisfied. There are men out there who can do over 300 push ups in 3 minutes. Work hard, put out and you will reach your goals.

creatine2Creatine: Friend or Foe

Creatine, a popular nutritional supplement used among athletes and weight lifters, is used primarily to increase muscle mass and improve recovery time. The use of creatine is a controversial issue in sports from the high school level through the professional level and even the Olympics. The International Olympic Committee and other sports regulating organizations have not banned creatine (Rouzier 526), but the effectiveness of this supplement is questioned. While some side effects are common in conjunction with creatine use, most can be prevented when the proper precautions are taken. When creatine is used for the appropriate reasons and the necessary precautions are taken it can be very beneficial to the user. Read More→

x2-couple450Weighted vests have been rising in popularity for good reason. A weighted vest is an excellent item to help you excel in muscle growth and weight management. It can be used by all kinds of people; it’s currently being used by professional athletes, firefighter, military personnel, and even regular people! Not only will a weighted vest be useful for those looking to lose weight, but it’s also valuable for those who do body resistance training and endurance training.

Basically, a weighted vest fulfills one vital role: It gives your body additional resistance. As you train with the weighted vest, your brain and muscle fibers adapt to the new body weight. Afterwards, when the vest is removed, your body still believes that the weight is on you. This allows you to have increased power, strength, and calorie consumption. Read More→

Natural Bodybuilding Regimen

It’s a truism that the ultimate goal of all gym-goers is bodybuilding. However, such sentence requires explanation: bodybuilding is not about sport bodybuilding. What we are talking about is a natural way of bodybuilding, where all the muscles are grown and trained in accordance with nature.

In other words, natural bodybuilding’s iron rules are very simple: zero steroids, zero drugs, and zero muscle enhancers. Natural bodybuilding is all made of plain exercise and a balanced diet.

It is obvious that no self-respecting bodybuilder will start training without some real training program. The natural bodybuilding training program includes three basic elements: weight training, good nutrition, and rest. Read More→
