Three years ago I couldn’t even do 1 pushup. Today I did 60

@dawn16 I don’t know the exact science behind it but I feel like it conditions my body to handle more weight than what I weigh naturally. Sort of like if you lose weight, pull-ups and whatnot become easier

@jesscat How did you get from 0 to 40?

 

[jesscat]

@ari3l654 Negatives, pike push-ups to failure and regular push-ups till failure 3x a week

@jesscat What’s your warm up for this? I always liked doing push-ups, but could never figure out a warmup

 

[jesscat]

@justinonesixteen I usually just stretch to loosen up and do some light cardio to get my body going, really helps me not feel stiff on the first couple of sets.

@jesscat So you can do 60 non stop? What other exercises do you do?

 

[carlea]

@jesscat First of, congrats.

Second, hopefully you're doing them with a good form. Cause I used to do 40 pushups with a lousy form only to find out I struggle to do 10 pushups with a proper form and breathing.

 

[jesscat]

@carlea Thanks! And yes sir, I made sure form was paramount while training for a new max, the last 3-4 reps though are questionable haha!

@jesscat How fast did you start improving from when you did 1?

Did you take any long breaks during the last year?

How long did it take you to get from 40 to 60?

 

[rotbre]

@harr70517 I also would like to know more about the training

 

[jesscat]

@rotbre Just dropped it under my post sorry I should’ve included it!
