I suppose you could ask that about anything, right? Why would anyone do a pull up with a kettlebell chained to their waist, why would anyone jump out of a plane with a parachute? I suppose you'd have to ask him but to me it is certainly a display of strength-endurance. I suspect like a lot of people, he's challenging himself, but I really can't know without asking him.
It Makes No SenseI suppose you could ask that about anything, right?
I could be wrong, but I guess he's using the push-ups as a training tool for the competition jerk.
This falls into the area of idiotic.
This method is counter productive for Competitive Jerk Training,
Jerks are a Power Movement, The foundation of Power is built on the development if Maximum Strength,.
A friend of Dan's (John) undertook a valiant effort of pushing his deadlift to 405 x 20. When he tested his 1RM, he got--425.
It's still a good work, for hypertrophy and strength. Maybe it's not optimal for developing maximum strength. But I think it's still useful in the long run.Pavel in Easy Strength:
So, not something I would dedicate time to
Rudnev is training for GS. He's not an Olympic Weightlifter.
Your reply should have been addressed to Period, who view 10 minute of Push Up "As a training tool for competition jerks".he's using the push-ups as a training tool for the competition jerk.

Performing Push Up for 10 Minutes
It idiotic regardless of who does it.
However, it along with $1.00 will get you a cup of coffee at McDonald's; which is good to know.
You're welcome.
I have @Kenny Croxdale in very high regard with his complete and extended awnsers in a lot of posts.Again, you have no idea what you're talking about.
People who tent to do longer work sets, have more difficulty to attain the tension which is needed for a single max effort. But still, page 80.Regarding the quote... I have a lot of respect for Dan John, I find it highly unlikely that someone can deadlift 405 for 20 and has a 1RM of 425. It completely defies logic.
@Jon_Frost, fair enough. My question was intended to both convey my own disinterest and to actually ask the question. I do get that it's a display of strength-endurance, and my personal preferences - we could call them prejudices just as well - are showing.I suppose you could ask that about anything, right?
