Stop Doing 100 Pushups a Day - I’m Begging You!!

- There are lots of 100 Pushups a Day Workouts available, but should you be doing them. That is the question that gets answered in today’s video. The attraction of a simple to follow, easy to remember exercise plan that has the ability to deliver bigger chest and arm gains is definitely something that cannot be denied. That said, is it the best use of your time?

To start, it’s important to realize just why 100 pushups a day is something that has been done and tried by many. Some perform this routine for 30 days, 60 days, 90 days or even an entire year. If there were no results to be had from doing it, it is hard to imagine that people would continue to spend their time doing it. But what if there were something better.
Here I’m going to show you something better than 100 pushups a day.
The first issue with making the number simply one hundred is that it will only match the ability levels of about 3 percent of those watching. In order for an exercise to be progressive, it should have the capacity to challenge the person that is doing it. Now, the benefits to this technique are almost wholly due to the dramatically increased volume of the pushup exercise that comes with doing them daily.
Over time, the sub maximal volume, done in much greater amounts, is enough to drive muscle adaptation and size gains in the chest, arms and shoulders. That said, not all increases in volume can do this. Many times, the excessive volume becomes simply junk volume. That is, an accumulation of reps that are so below your capability levels that they serve to do nothing to progress the muscles that you are trying to build and more often only cause irritation, inflammation and aggravation of the joints involved in the exercise.
No exception here with pushups.
People who engage in pushup routines that require daily pushups for more than 3 weeks will often times see a decrease in their muscle output and strength as well as development of poor posture from rounded shoulders. These are caused by the muscle imbalances that occur when focusing all of your efforts on chest development.
In my 22 Days to a Bigger Chest Routine, we not only propose plan involving pushups but important variations of the move that shift the focus more to your triceps or shoulders to offload some of the work being done by the chest. As always however, with the daily recommendation of doing face pulls you will be sure you have enough posterior chain training to counteract any postural issues that could come from an abundance of push ups.
Here, what is suggested is to not only perform your pushups in sets rather than as a firm fixed number of 100 but to shift that fixed number of reps to another exercise - the Superman Pressout - to avoid any of the imbalances that could come. So, with the fixed number of sets rather than pushups we are able to accommodate to a person’s ability level much better.
For example, someone that can do 60-75 reps of pushups in a given set is going to be far less challenged by a 100 pushups a day routine than someone who can only do 5-10 in a set. Here, we equalize the stress by having each person do 5 sets, 5 reps short of failure. It’s important to keep these sets short of all out muscle failure. This will help with the recovery from these workouts as the consecutive days start to pile up.
The next most important element however is that immediately following each of these 5 sets you will perform 20 reps of the Superman Pressout exercise shown. This will work the often overlooked and important muscles of the rotator cuff and rhomboids, helping to prevent postural shoulder rounding that could come from overworking the pecs.
You can perform these sets all at the same time or break them up over the course of the day. Just be sure to include the set of 20 reps of Superman Pressouts immediately following each of the sets to ensure that you get your 100 reps of that exercise in throughout the day.

I've been doing this for a week.. Breaking it up.. I'll do them for 2 days, break for a day and then do another day, break and go 2 days ect. A week and a half and I already can see small results.. Which is pushing me to get fully into this.. My brithday is in May.. I'll be 32.. By then, I plan on having the body I desire and probably will do it mostly with Push ups. I may join a gym when I can.. But 5 almost 6 months of doing this.. I should be fine.. At that point I'll join a Boxing gym to further my fitness appetite and keep up with it..

Always love and appreciate your videos. You've helped me many times overcoming injuries. I'm 62 years old and pretty fit. But over the summer I was doing my usual P96 routine (pushups, pull ups, bands) - and was trying o increase my reps and weight and frequency. Things were going very well, until one day - they weren't. I suffered either an impingement or slight tear - whatever it was (I've been to the doctor and they say it was't rotator cuff) - it took me OUT! And since then (September of 2023) I have been struggling with getting both shoulders able to return to doing some kind of training. SO FRUSTRATING. All that to say, I was glad to hear you talk in this video about not getting injured as we push forward. This old (though fit) body of mine is reminding me of how I need to be more patient and careful with my routines. So I REALLY appreciated finding this cool little routine of yours (the 100 a day thing was beginning to sound good too me). Thanks AGAIN for a great one. MUCH Appreciated!
As a man that ended up getting shoulder tendonitis because of the excessive volume and not training the minor muscles all I have to say it that Jeff is saving lives with videos like these
use to do that with weights after, and i did have shoulder problems
How did you recover from tendonitis
I had the same experience. I wasn’t training counter muscles like my back muscles and sitting all day at a computer. My arms were going numb every night, and the only solution was going to physical therapy and working on back muscles.
Because you didnt do face pulls ☝️
@@27Ashishnayak To clarify I also kickbox competitively. Together with my obsession with pushups( I love them because you can make them hard, do a lot of them and they are very useful to build discipline) I developed tendonitis in my left shoulder likely from all the repetitive movement. I have been out for like 2.5 months already but I'm getting close to a return. I have gotten plenty of massages, electric current therapy and ultrasounds(both really helpful) and have also gotten 2 plasma injections (game changers). Shoulders were always my strongest upper body part so I really missed my favourite exercises( handstands, presses etc) during rehab. Instead every day is a combination of leg workouts and corrective movements for my shoulders and upper back. I only wish I started doing those sooner. I was so focused on getting stronger that I got some muscles way stronger than others that are supposed to be working together. This imbalance led to the tendon getting involved more than it should. Learn from my mistake and do your corrective exercises before you get hurt. Also don't push your newfound strength too much, rather let the rest of your body catch up. It's easier to reach your fitness goals if you are healthy
Im 73 - I do (including my normal daily 90 minute workout everyday) 100 pushups everyday - 4 sets at 25 reps per set... I feel great - been a gym rat since I was 32.
Nice
And a " dont fix it if its not broken" well done Chris keep up the great old school method
Awesome man, well done keep up the good work. I´m starting late myself at around 40 and I hope I will keep on doing it until I die.
Hell yea. Stay blessed sir!
very good
This is the first video where it finally clicked for me with five sets to failure. I always felt terrible i couldnt get to full sets and this has made me realize if i hit that sore mark and stop there, im building up instead of pushing myself to far. Subscribed!
me too
Me three
Me 4
This channel is pure gold. Awesome. Thank a lot Jeff !!
10 min push ups workout. Max out number. Break into 3. Regular, wide, then diamond push ups, each set you break max number into 3. 30 second rest after each each set. 1 min rest before switching push up stance. I promise you this was the best workout. I was doing 500-1000 a night but this always challenged me, got me bigger. Yes I was in jail
Screenshotted ima take your word over a youtuber no cap 💯
Calisthenics is the way fuck weights
😳
i dont understand can somone pls explain 😅
Who asked if u was in jail brody 🤣🤣 no disrespect or hate but like cmon u could’ve said that between sentences
I can remember going to Boot Camp as a 17yr old and struggling to get 25 pushups...now all these years later I can do 50 flat out, but I still do sets of 20 or 25 until 100 just like when I was a kid. It's really been a complement to my training routine over the years and a great way to start the day.
When I was 17 and joined the military. For whatever reason, I can do pushups all day.
Same here…. I start my day with doing 4-5 sets a day and feel great with no problems.
I always preferred to sets like that, between 20-25 reps. Like 3-4 sets, helped much more!
I joined at 19 and got in a lot of trouble. I think the most I did in one instance was 100. I always maxed my pushups on the APFT.
@@coldchillin8382 me too.. I could max out 82 push-ups In my sleep. I can still do it now. 20 yrs later
Much wiser approach, definitely leveled up my game. Blessings
Makes sense. I just started doing this and now i feel ive gain strength. And doing some shoulder workout right after
One of my biggest regrets with lifting the last 20 years is all the different muscles I have missed in my lifting routines. I appreciate Jeff's encouragement to hit different areas with different variations.
what muscles exactly
@@gsm6808 Calves and Forearms probably
@@gsm6808 muscles u didn’t even know u had
@@gsm6808back muscles
Very interesting combination: challenge+ balance of opposing muscle groups. Since I do pushups in perfect form (chest to ground, full extension of the elbows at the top, engagement of the core) I do way less than I used to do in the past in a single set... But they are so much more productive!!! In my case, achieving quality is a challenge in itself... Thank you for the great content👍
Followed your advice and results are showing. Posture is improving too. Thank you so much!!!
I've been working out with weights since was 19, always beginning my workouts with 100 pushups to warm up. I continued that regimen for countless years with great results, now at age 72, I continue my workouts, but as i got older i finally eliminated that routine. I recently just wanted to see how many i could still do consecutively and got to fifty. But of course not keeping up with them it became more difficult.
Now going 5 days to the gym, twice a week enjoy doing 3 sets of 20 pull-ups instead and love doing them. Regularity has always been the key to staying in shape and keeping my strength up! And Never givee up! Tim
Great advice. I've reduced most my shoulder pain by dividing my reps up like this. When I push myself to the brink, my bad shoulder acts up. Took me years to learn this. I've also reduced most of my back pain by regularly doing superman presses. It took me 8 months to even be able to do 1 without pain following a disc rupture. I had to work on tight and weak hip flexors/psoas for weeks, but the stronger I get the more the pain goes away.
Wow, I just stumbled upon this in my feed at random and am I ever grateful, thanks!
Haven't really worked out at all since I hurt my back years ago, and this was very encouraging to help ease myself back into any kind of routine (put back on a good chunk of the weight I'd previously lost and it's extremely distressing)
Man, I remember in the Army when I was 15 years younger being able to do 85 pushups in 2 minutes as my average. Now at 37 I can barely do 25 straight due to injuries. I have to get myself together. Good luck to you Brother. Merry Christmas.
Man I hope things get better
@@thetraveler1182 you get better results when you do them slow anyway.
Great explanation 👌 really changed my thought process and approach to this exercise.
I am aiming for 5 sets of 20 push ups a day, but with other exercises as well. For the last 6 years I did almost none, but 12 days ago I had to go over a 6 foot wall to help a hurt neighbor, adrenaline got me over fast, but getting back was when I realized that I had lost a lot of my strength. So I am now galvanized to become strong again, in 2 days my weights and protein powder will come and then I will be able to increase the amount of exercises I do. I retired at 63 and am 69 now.

Not enough trainers and people training consider the possible side effects of exercise until they get injured. Considering we are primarily doing all this to improve our own health and well being it's mandatory to educate yourself. Great vids love your approach. Well done ☺️👍

this routine (100 push-ups a day) took me from barely 10 sloppy push-ups to 22 good form shoulder width push-ups in 15days

I agree that increasing the difficulty of the pushup is a great way to increase your reps: Especially, varying the hand-width position.
I really like how this guy gets right to the point. Somebody else would have made this video half an hour.
is 100 push ups a day with rest days and srteching good
@@Damso15 yes, I love it
5 minutes still feels too long... one guy here in the comments summarized the video as "just do them every other day". Good summary?
@@n1te That was a shitty summary. The guy in the video said much more than that and was very specific and to the point.
He makes a lot of good points, but I would not do one any one particular lifting exercise every day. The only thing I would do every day is stretching exercises. You need to break things up and give your muscles and joints time to rest and recover or you can wind up injured, like getting tendinitis, as the guy above, did.
It’s not a bad starting place. Hopefully most people doing this will quickly see the benefits and revise their routine to achieve much better results.
That’s how it worked for me. About 2 months in I realized how silly just doing one exercise was, but it got me started.
Aye man I go to the gym everyday and then every night I do 100 push-ups before I go to bed do u think this is okay
@@ryanbenedetti5387 push ups are the best home workouts keep doing them but if i were you since ur doing 100, I would recommend added other exercises to ur at night workout before going to bed. so like jumping jacks or jump rope so u can make sure your arms aren’t going to get any muscle tensions or future pain to ur arms
@@ryanbenedetti5387 kind of depends what your daily gym routine is, but I would say you’re probably overdoing it. You’ve got to give your body rest days to recuperate inbetween workouts. If you don’t, your really putting yourself at risk of injury.
@@ryanbenedetti5387 nah
I'm 3 months into the 100 a day routine, and I'm starting to see a plateau in muscle growth. It was great at first, and it really got me into the disciplined mindset of exercising every day, but I'm ready to add more to my routine.
It's funny, I remember people saying this same thing back when I started and I thought "nah I'll just keep doing it forever and it will be okay" but they were totally right. It's a wonderful challenge, but it's only just the beginning of a lifetime of physical aspiration.

“Stopping 5 shy of failure” glitch: when you can only do 5 pushups in total. You’re basically able to do this daily for the rest of your life. Now that’s a healthy habit. You’re welcome!
Lmao
I started to get back pain from a muscle imbalance. Started having to do other work outs to counteract the over development under development issue.
Thanks so much Jeff! Never thought of maximizing this workout in this way.
I started doing push-ups maybe 5 times a week when covid hit for the first time and gyms closed in Germany. I barely went back to the gym for almost a year. But was still doing my push-ups. Now that I have been hitting the gym again I can say that I am a stronger bencher than ever before. 1 year of almost daily push-ups made me stronger!
Update: in the past 3,4 weeks I started having shoulder pains whenever benching or also doing push-ups. I stopped doing any hurting exercises for 2 weeks (including push-ups) . Now I slowly started ağrın. I'm not doing push ups everyday anymore though (currently twice a week but not as many as before). My shoulder is recovering
yo when the gyms were closed in my country those times were so depressing bruh
*made you stronger in one specific exercise
How many reps and sets you were doing everyday? What's your current bench press weight?
@@wojtekostrowski456 No it works in general. Its not like Bodybuilding where its geared toward only specific muscles. Its very functional. Some trend studies are based for people like scientist just so they can get money for a publishing.
@@wojtekostrowski456 his upper body became stronger... that shit applies to real life too, not like he's pro bb who only lifts sleeps and competes.
Doing 100 Push-ups a day is what got me started because it was doable and rewarding. I started taking working out seriously way later, I did 100 Push-ups a day for months before and it helped a lot in getting me to a little base strength
Exactly, that's the real benefit. I also had to start very "easy" like this to make the habit stick. If you start "ALL THE WAY" from day one, your mind cant take it and you quit.
Starting with pulling exercises too would be better
100 reps in 1 set ?? Or more sets
@@NekrosWorld if i were to do it, i'd do 20 reps in 5 sets, 3 in the morning 2 in the evenening
Working my way to 200 5 times a week. At 150-75 transition. Just crank out 20-25 reps a set. If I need less I do it. Split morning/evening.
Always liked your perspective and to the point videos, thank-you. (Former power lifter, MMA, Dad... lol cheers)
Damn! So much good free advice from your videos and others! I wish I had CZcams growing up, when I was the strongest and most fit ever. Life and injury have gotten in the way... AND I'm sure I'm suffering from depression that I cannot seem to get over. Tired to make a little body weight/light weight gym in my garage a few weeks ago now, but cannot get over the feeling of "what's the use?"
I'm terribly out of shape and HATE the way I look/feel but cannot snap out of it. When I was in shape people were in awe whenever I took off my shirt but I never understood why because I was never going for that. I just worked out because I like it. I tried some super light workout the other day, but this cause my sciatica to act up and I was in physio/massage for a few days. That was there end of that. I used to work a lot (it was much fun!), so i know how to move properly to not hurt my self, but it would seem that my back is NO GOOD any more.
Hopefully I can get that feeling back some day so I can utilize all this to both advice! Thank you
I like to switch to working my abs while my arms recover but I like the recovery exercise you shared. I’ve gotten so much stronger without weights just body weight exercises!

Used to watch him in my childhood (somewhere around 2013-2014 I think) and am happy to see that he is still going strong in 2021
This is exactly what i do to increase my potential in the amount of pushups i can accomplish. You do this the way he describes it and it will boost your overall outcome if you were to rest a day or two after some good amount of time training your arms. With that said, Ive been able to pump out 82 push ups in a minute by doing it this way and I was 35 yrs old at the time. I just didnt implement his superman variation he does in the end. A good tip also, is to do deep push ups (go down lower than normal) to compliment the regular push up, keep in mind this works the triceps more, but it ensures you are getting that full rep you should be looking for rather than doing half (noodle looking) push up motions. I would do 5 or even 6 sets throughout the day to accomplish this goal woth about two sets back to back and would hoose either the day or night to hit my reps put which helps with some rest needed to help you keep going. I would go to failure, but same time not completely burn out my arms since i wanted energy to do my next set i wanted to do as well. But ya, this method works for sure.
I really wish more people would discuss the importance of working your back if you do pushups like this. I had no clue and gave myself a month of bad posture and back pain. My pushups were looking pretty good though
I'm 70 and have included push-ups in my daily routine for decades and do them to failure once a week with going close to failure three times a week twice a day . I guess I'm lucky having had 30+ broken bones in my rough and tumble lifetime to have no bad affects from any of them so plan to continue on and do as much as I can for as long as I can .

Straight up! Stay focused 💯
Little over a month ago, I started a system similar to this to increase my number of quality reps. I've been quite happy with the results of doing 5 sets to sub failure and adding a couple reps to each set at the start of every new week. Its giving me results and that has been great for inspiring me to continue to improve. I was very discouraged with my pushups before.
I'm up to 300 pushups a Day over the last 8 weeks.
Barely was able to do 10 without giving up
Then I got to 10 over 5 reps a day.
then 20 and 5 reps
then 30 over 10 reps
Now this last week I did 50 over 6 reps
Just added situps and looking to push myself.
I'll add this to my workout thanks.
Nicely presented! Way to go.
I've been waiting to get your insight on these type of challenges; whether consecutive or sets. Your perspective is intriguing and I take it into consideration. I feel better with this knowledge to get started with it to not just complete it, but to spice things up with the approach.

I'm 71 years old and do two sets of 250 pushups daily with sets of 50 which I do five times at each workout. On a bad day, I'll break it down to 30 + 20 with a 30 second break between subsets. I use pushup bars which are 21 centimeters high with grips which are 7 cm diameter. My goal is to do 1,000 three times / week. I intersperse pushups with sit-ups, knee-bends and work with Rip-Cords. Anyone can do as many as they want if one is patient and consistent. Thanks for your ATHLEAN program.
I love your videos. They are so positive
This is good info. I am currently at the end of month 7 of a push up challenge I created. My daily push-ups equal the day of the month times the month of the year. March 5th equals 15. June tenth equals 60. October 20th equals 200. This has been helping me build up slowly and stay disciplined to do multiple sets every day. I’ve gone from barely being able to do 15 to now keeping my sets above 25 and doing 7 of those sets in a day.
I do think I need to be careful about going to failure, which I often do on the last few days of the month. Maybe I should reduce my reps per set but link my sets with less time in between. I also like the idea of doing another exercise while I’m down there already. Thanks for your help and encouragement.
So from Christmas to NYE...?
Nice challenge!
I just started doing your Pull Push Legs routine 2 weeks ago. I used to workout (not train) a lot and had it in my head that I need to do 6 days in a row with only one day off. Now that I'm in my 30's and currently fat, I have to admit I appreciate having the day off for conditioning cardio every 4th day. I think my body and my heart apreciate it too. 🤘🏼🤘🏼

Great stuff as usual
Wow this is such a great video! Thank you for this expert insight!
Thank you Jeff, another helpful video and I’m going to try it out! Will be back after three months for feedbacks!
Thank you for continuing to make videos that are super easy to understand, allow us newbies to improve our health the right way and explain "why do it this way".
I genuinely appreciate it.
This guy goes straight to the point. 😊😊😊😊
I have a really mixed opinion about the whole hundred push-ups a day thing. I actually forced myself to do that with a weird routine for an entire year. Since I was going from zero workout in history I started off light at 30 and then I would do 30 everyday for the month and then the next month I would add on another 10. I started January of that year with 30 a day, and October 1st all the way through the new year I did 100 push-ups a day. It definitely absolutely trimmed out my shoulders and my arms and I got a ton of compliments for them, but I absolutely noticed that it really honestly just gave me good strength and definition but it did not bulk me up at all. I'm pretty sure that Annie and all of the calisthetic workouts you do can give you good actual muscular strength, but other than that all it really does is trim down your body fat and give you the definition that makes it all look good whereas when you actually get into the weight lifting that's where you actually get that strain and everything starts getting puffy and you start seeing the Mr Olympia type of people.
Im actually gonna try your method cuz i dont wanna bulk😄
Your missing 1 key part adding weight just doing it as body weight will not add the muscle you need to add weighted to it for bulk
I’ve been doing 100 burpees a day while also doing back routines to give balance. I suppose I needed to view this video so I can switch it up and avoid any injury. Thanks Jeff!
Na you were already doing it right
@@jsoliz1806 Now if he goes back to doing 100 burpees, he will most likely injure himself subconsciously or the nocebo effect
dude if yu do burpees a lot u gotta watch your back. the more fatigue kicks in the more one tends to slouch on the stomach and back muscles while dripin into a burpee pushup. i slipped a disc (hernia l4:( from doin too many of those sloppy and tired. so less burpees more core strength engaged = better workout. btw burpees are good mainly for heart/rate strength and caloric burn. not strength training.

Thanks for finally making sense of these 100 a day push up cause everyone is different and I also felt like I wasn't really gaining nothing by doing them.
Thank you. I'm going to start trying this routine out.
I did roughly 1000 press ups in sets of 50 or 75 and feet on floor and up on chair. I was off gym and did this for approximately 2 weeks and I increased my 1 rep max bench by nearly 20%. My size also increased.
Do you rest your pushups for every other day to recuperate or just do them daily with increases everyday??
@@kenmichaelson1047 not really. I just went hard everyday.
I run 5 km in 30 mins then work in 9 set of 60 each pushups(stretched) for regular 3 days followed by break for 1 day.Pushups took 1 hour for completion.So 90 mins +_ 5 for total exercise.
You give 1000 push ups in 50 times, you mean that?
Genetics is everything . That's what he doesn't tell y'all
My quarantine workout: 4 sets - Roll a section of the legs, Childs pose, 3 down dogs, 4 sets of ab rolls, 30 narrow pushups, 12 pull ups , 12 calf raises per calf, repeat 4 times rolling different sections of the legs each time. Next, the same 4 sets, however 12 chin ups, and 30 wide pushups. Follow this by 300 sit ups on an exercise ball. Got me through quarantine, and I still do this occasionally when I do not feel like going to the gym, BTW I am 65.
Ok so the point about that u want to say is u are 65years old

Dang Jeff, doing a set of Superman Press Outs after every set of Push-ups is now my new 1-2-Punch regimen, wow it feels amazing all the way around my chest, back, shoulders, rhomboids, up into my traps, and down into my lats and obliques. I will soon find out if I should do this before or after my 20-minute abb routing, lol, thank you Sir, great content.
I need to start incorporating the Superman Press after each set!

The thing is, most of you (including the CZcamsr) are doing too many exercises for each muscle. It doesn’t take that much to stimulate muscle growth, it’s all about consistency. For example, for a chest routine you only need about 4-6 sets as long as you’re keeping your form and the weight is optimal. You’ll go into a gym and see guys doing 20-30 sets of different chest exercises, that’s overkill and at a certain point you’re just plateauing.
Should be in and out of the gym (or wherever you exercise) in an hour, unless you’re incorporating a class or something.
Personal tip- I don't go up in sets of five, I increase my amount of reps exponentially using the fibonacci sequence- 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34 etc.
Really helps me in terms of seeing progress and the fact that the numbers aren't round always leaves me wanting more :)
Haha I love that, the fibonacci sequence ha! I'll definitely try that.
He’s lying
@@Dadaadad268 i'm not dude, it's honestly great! i recommend trying it :)
Bro by day 20 you will actually fucking die
@@randomstuff2848 I don't go up every day! My god you're right I would die XD nah I did 8 of each exercise repeatedly for multiple days in a row until I could manage 13, then 13 until I could do 21
Good stuff as usual
Well, I never was a active guy, but I recently started to do 3 times per day a set of 25 push ups, 25 crunches and 25 sit ups. So 75 of each in total per day. And honesly - feeling pretty refreshed. Never though that I would hook up onto doing anything at all, but here I do something.
Good for you man. Proud of ya. Let's get it ✨
Keep it up buddy
Well done 👍🏼
How is it working?
@@tofferooni4972 Well, I still do it. Increased to 30 now. Became easier to bring heavy bags from shops :)
Jeff, I fell into this. I like a challenge. I over did it. Elbows and shoulders did not like it and killed my gains. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Rip your gains
bro same, wish i saw this video earlier and had a perfect push up form from the start

I do 20 first thing in the AM to counter the dawn effect of T2D. Then 10 every two hours throughout the day, then 20 at 5pm. Mostly this is to build discipline and power slowly over time.
Exactly
T2D?

Can someone talk about how doing workouts in the Am counters T2D? Very interesting
I can attest to the shoulder issue / pain problem with trying to increase push-ups to 100 straight a day. I was following a program to get you to 100 push-ups straight through, but when I hit 40 straight, I started having shoulder pain on one side. Don't know if it was an imbalance or not, but I knew I couldn't continue doing what I was doing.
My wife and I have a hill workout we do every Saturday morning, with push-ups at the top and bottom of the hill. We do sets of 15, and by the time we finish the workout, we have usually done 105 push-ups.
So, this method Jeff is talking about definitely sounds like something worth trying. I'll be spacing out 5 sets of 20 push-ups throughout the day and see how this works for development as well as ease of completing them.
Do warmup lol
Back in 2017 I tried this 100 push-ups a day and hell, i just did it for like a half and a week because of the pain in my lower back, i was a very thin teeneger with bad posture and zero previous training. I injured myself.
You needed to do pull ups to correct that issue
If you want to get shredded just by pushups, you need to do 500-1000 a day and that means 100 rep sets at least.
@@quirinm. is that for beginners or is that for out of shape people ?
Great advice seriously,I ripped my shoulder cuff in martial arts so it’s been a slow process on the road to recovery so this video really helps . Big thumbs up and thank you 🙏🏼.
Twenty years ago I ripped my shoulder while replacing the weight on an incline bench. Years later I thought it would never heal completely. But reading this comment, it's the first time in my life I realized I haven't had trouble with it at all recently.
For a 46 year old who’s smoked ,drank too much with rotator cuff , achielies heel problems an operation for tennis elbow and a physical job the temptation to let my body go was strong .
My improvements are slow but they are still a big positive. I have to say these vids are massive for me especially the 10 min core ones .

In making overnight oats on the weekend for the work week, is it safe to put powdered creatine monohydrate in the overnight oats on the weekend, in other words will it destabilize from Monday to Friday in the fridge. Any safety issues. Thanks
Nice addition to do the superman press-out (20x) after each set of push-ups. Adds to range of muscle groups being trained without making it too complex to stick to (the biggest attraction of the '100 push-ups per day' regime is its simplicity - and anything is better than doing nothing).
While it always sounded like a pretty cool feat of strength, I always questioned in the back of my mind the true effectiveness of 100 push-ups a day. If I’m not mistaken, it would seem to invite opportunities for strength and muscle imbalances. I’m glad to hear your thoughts on this topic, Jeff. Very educating.
I used to do 30-40 every 2 hours with a 30lb backpack on. One day I dropped the back pack and felt like a feather
Out of curiosity what did you put in your backpack? I put a dumbell wrapped in a towel in mine and it was uncomfortable as hell because it slid to the bottom so the weight was resting like on my lower back and digging in.
@@Aatell764 i use a small backpack with disc weights on a book, and the straps tight so it's a comfortable flat weight high up between the shoulder blades
@@stratfol1 Oh nice I'll definitely try the book idea, I actually got a couple squares of plywood about the size of a book I'll try that out.

@@ericcarrillo1294 I'm sorry what
I do 220-500 but I do variations like traditional, wide, diamonds, knuckles, hallways, incline, decline, fingers, Mike Tyson’s, spider man’s, switches(jumping each rep switch grip from traditional to wide), pikes, and also cobra PUs (3-5 second holds). I’ll throw in ABC PUs for a nice cool off too.
I do 100 pushups a day. It was 150 a day prior to a hernia surgery in April. In previous years i have completed well more than 50,000 pushups a year. I only cut back by 50 a day only to add 100 body squats a day and my normal 100 core a day. I do like the approach laid out in this video. Will begin to incorporate the Superman exercise. Thanks
That new exercise looks a lot like swimming freestyle, which is what has been helping me heal tight shoulders from pushups. Thanks for a great idea!.
Breaststroke, but point made:)
He is absolutely right. In the beginning it was harder for me to accept what he said because I have been doing 100 kinda push ups my whole life but progress is through the way he teaches...
I totally agree brother. People Evan push it to the extent of several hundred in one set and preserve the notion of “go hard or go home” when the potentiality for growth is not in the reps at all…… well anything beyond 15 to 20 I mean. I employ resistant bands for push-ups and the intense effect they have on 1 set is mimicking a bench press stimulation and the reps are super intense as your kind of pushing away from you not up from you and it can be like a full body experience. You can also do body weight presses in between witch enhances the ability to do press-ups due to the previous contrast of more resistance. Praise don’t seem to wanna use intuition anymore they just substitute it for why the consensus norm is saying.
I think the point of 100 push-ups a day is to give people who don’t like working out a feasible goal.
Yeah there’s so many better ways to build muscle or strength but this is a good goal in developing consistency for newbies
Hello Jeff. Thank you for your content, it's been so useful to me over the last few years, especially being over 40. So huge thanks!
Just wanted to know if you did any videos for people in wheelchairs? I noticed a people who used the wheelchair and still muscle training. I imagine your perspective on training for someone wheel chair bound would be very different from someone who isn't wheelchair bound?
South African?
@@poisonousbadge126 hello, yes, well spotted
40s is not old
I do the following:
Set 1: 20 chair push-ups & 20 normal push-ups
Set 2: 15 chair push-ups & 15 normal push-ups
Set 3: 12 chair push-ups & 12 normal push-ups
Set 4 (3x) 10 chair push-ups & 10 normal push-ups
Short breaks between sets (30s to 1min). 150+ push-ups
