Welcome!
The aim of this log is to follow detailed approach to complete the 100 Push-up goal.
1. The background (in short).
I'm 40, active duty officer in Polish Air Forces. Actively spending most of my time. In the vast majority I train with kettlebells, lastly incorporated barbell RELOAD plan, thus from this Monday I also practice Deadlift and Squats. I also do Pull-up in RELOAD format, two times a week with added one session of Pull-up Partial Reps from SF Newsletter. After Timed Simple was achieved I switched to Q&D and incorporated 40-kg bell Swings and Tactical Getups. For more info if someone is interested in how my trainings look like you may see my main log here
2. The aim.
After some trial and errors and finally following the last plan about Push-ups ( Bodyweight - 30-Day Pushup Challenge + Simple & Sinister?) I increased my RM from 42 to 65. But that is not enough. My goal is to complete 100 Push-ups in a single set. Why? First, it is a great feat of strong endurance, second it gives a lot points in any qualification to SF (please, do not critique the goal, everyone has its own reasons).
3. Approach.
As I mentioned above, I followed 30-day Push-up Plan with success. Than @korcun mentioned the SF article about Strength in Numbers: A Case for Pushup Endurance Training | StrongFirst
"Once you are in the 50RM range, you may want to begin adding banded pushups as I did per Pavel’s guidance. Use a band that would bring your max to 20-25 explosive reps. Use GTG and perform 2 sets of 10 reps, resting 30 seconds between. Perform each pushup as explosively as possible. You will have to generate more tension with these to maintain a strong body position. Vary your pushup volume by 20% each day. I am currently rotating between cycles of banded work and high rep ladder sets."
So, I started to do ladder GTG Push-ups in the following manner: reps: 20 (30%), 25 (38%), 32 (50%)
That would be all. I hope you will enjoy reading.
Stay Strong. Stay Hard. Get After It.
