@dimefractal you have a very rare advantage. also, OP asked if one can gain good gains with 6 -7 hours of sleep.

@dimefractal what a load of shit. you try to peddle your very rare ability to get good gains with 6 hours of sleep when there is a massive difference between 6 to 8 hours of sleep. and no, @wishwish55. you won't make good gains with 6-7 hours of sleep.

@yochanagrace yeah, it seems you have the necessary qualification to comment on the subject. i retract my statement. But i still think that doing 100 pushups/day is an inappropriate way to improve 1rm bench press. it is better to use a strength-training approach to increase the 1rm weighted...

@yochanagrace Strength adaptation are better induced by performing high-load resistance training. Doing high load exercises at low reps is certainly better at developing strength. What is the goal of OP? It is to do a 35 kg bench press. Doing 100 pushups per day in multiple sets when each set...

@ernestservant what a stupid advice. a recipe for overuse injury. rather than gradually increasing the intensity, why would anyone increase the reps to stupid amounts if the goal is to build strength?

@lucyt25 just do 4 sets of moderately hard pushup progression not to failure every other day. you will build strength incredibly faster than doing 50 pushups/day.

@chumleypm i dont think we are looking at hypertrophy here. but the research paper is very interesting. i think this quote accurately summarizes the strength part: at our current understanding, it is better to use lower reps/higher intensity type of strength training to increase 1rm max. so...

@chumleypm can you show that research. this tells me otherwise. there have multiple latest research on the repetition continuum.

@yochanagrace Why should anyone give sub-standard advice? everybody should strive to give the best advice to untrained novice who lack info like @lucyt25. They want to gain strength. Why would anyone recommend 50 pushups a day (high chance of overuse injury) unless the need to pass a fitness...

@debro what's the point of doing it other than to increase the max number of reps? Nobody is getting strength adaptations from doing 50 pushups/day.

@seth504 good advice like your gets buried in lots of shit replies. most of the threads where recognized bodyweight experts don't comment are like this.
