How to Do 100 Push Ups

by in Workouts

I love push ups!

They’re such a great exercise for the chest, shoulders, triceps, and core.

But for many people doing a proper push-up, let alone 100 of them, can be quite difficult.

However, if you want to test your strength endurance and want to see how fast you can get to doing 100 push ups, then I’m going to give you an easy-to-follow schedule right here in this post.

I was prompted to write this because I was recently at the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario and noticed that they had a huge banner dedicated to those who excelled in various physical endeavours.

One of them was dedicated to a guy who had done 130 push ups!

Pretty amazing.

Now, you may think that it’s impossible to do that many push-ups but in reality all it comes down to is practice and consistency.

With that in mind, the following program is dedicated to someone who can only do 1 push up (from their feet). In just 10 weeks, you should be able to do 100 of them if you follow these push-up guidelines.

Are you ready?

Here you go.

12-Week Push-Up Program to Get to 100 Push-Ups

How to Use This Program

In the above 12-week push-up program, each workout is described as “2 x 10″ for instance.

The first number = # of sets

The second number = # of reps

In general, the less rest you can take between sets the better, but for the latter weeks where you are doing close to 100 push-ups for a number of sets, you can take up to 5 minutes rest so that you can complete each set to the fullest.

If you cannot complete all reps in one go, then give yourself a few seconds rest and the continue until all reps have been completed.

Again, this program is for someone who can only do 1 push-up from their feet (starting today). It is designed for the absolute beginner. If you follow it though, you will be able to accomplish 100 push ups at once by the end of 12 weeks.

If You’re More Advanced…

If you can do more than 1 push-up (most likely you can), then simply test yourself right now by doing as reps as you can. How ever you complete, that’s where you’ll want to start in the 12-week program.

For instance, if you can do 50 push ups at once, then you’ll want to start off at the beginning of Week 9.

From there, simply following the last 4 weeks of the program should get you to 100 push ups!
