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.

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
Do them every other day. This allows for recovery
You'll be fine. Just saved you 5+ minutes.

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..

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

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
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!

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.
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
You are an inspirational badass.
“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!

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.
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.
XD
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

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.
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👍
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!
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.
I agree, time under tension and making the push-ups harder is a lot better

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

Excellent advices I had ever heard from your channel!
1. breaks in sets of n sets of m reps.
2. sets of counter exercises
3. do the m reps shy of 5 from failure *key point!
And I would add (for me at least):
4. rest day(s): 1-2 rest days will be more beneficial than every day (for the same exercise) since if I do non-stop every day routine like that, I will eventually hurt myself (I'm not an athlete and I need more time to regen - listen to your body!).

The thing is, most of you (including the UA-camr) 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.
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.
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 don’t want gains I want the endurance and strength, don’t care to be big

Damn! So much good free advice from your videos and others! I wish I had UA-cam 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
The stabilizer movement at the end of each set is such a great tip. I've been training to failure with pushups and those muscles in my back have been killing me. To the point where I had to take a lot of time off. I've found doing reverse planks has helped alot, and I'll start doing this stabilizer move so it won't happen again.
Interesting. My back muscles haven't been in pain, but I've had two shoulder problems (not connected to push ups), and the main thing that troubles me is my shoulders when I do diamond push ups (that and my hands sometimes slip on the carpet, due to the angle).
I do 4 different types of push up.
Yes and no a pushup should also activate tbe stabilizers a lot, ulike something done on a bench.
how long is your pause between sets if you have them? I was doing 5x20 diamond push ups and 10x20 normal ones with a minute pause. It feels pretty easy now and I want to change that
@@aleksastankovic4808 A minute?
Maybe when I was young, but I'm in my 50s, so I leave 3 - 4 minutes in between.
@@aleksastankovic4808 Then again, I do more in a set.
I arrived early :D
When I saw the 100 push-ups, it reminded me of Saitama's challenge. 100 push-ups 100 squats 100 sit-ups and run 10 kilometers every day
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
So true! Been there and had my shoulder damaged. Used to do 100 a day most days and then shoulder gave out. It's been a long journey of yoga and shoulder rehabilitation. Look after yourself people! Thank you for the great content!
So is like 5 sets of 15 pushups good through out the day I’m 16 yrs old:)?
@@alexk17 bro, you can do like 200 push ups a day if you wanted and make gains, just make sure to hit your back with something really good like pull ups. a lot of people will call it bs but you’d be amazed by the results
Yes do more pushups. I only do push-ups to train my chest and just tested my 1rpm for a clean 255lb. I've never been strong on the bench in the first place I have more aerobic muscle fibers but for only training chest with push ups I'm very satisfied with the 255lbs.
Also I'm also 200lbs so yeah again not that impressive but very happy
Fuck that. Be proud. You’re doing better that a lot people. Keep up the good work.
only basic push ups or also other harder variations
Its good bro chill
Be proud bro! I’m not quite there yet, but trying to get there
As long as you can do your weight it's always impressive bro, majority of normal people can't do there body weight
100 push ups a day works for me.. it’s not for everyone!!
Facts bro
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
During my time of service in the army (mandatory service in my country), i used to do 200 push ups(there was no equipment), 5 days a week, devided to 10 sets of 20 each day, for a long period of time. Even though i gained muscle throughout my whole core and arms, after about a month I started to feel the stress on the shoulders and elbows, making the excercise very hard to perform..
Things like this or running in boots would seem to catch up to us as we get older.
If it’s not 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, 100 pull ups, and a 10km run every day then I don’t wanna hear it.

Is this a Rock Lee reference?
@@TraVenKrofT no.
Makes sense. I just started doing this and now i feel ive gain strength. And doing some shoulder workout right after
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
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:)
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 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
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 ?
For each smile Jeff makes on a day he also makes one crying face to avoid facial muscles imbalances
I use to do 300 a day(not all in one go but split the 100’s to morning, evening and night) personally nothing affected my body from lots of push ups and I had big muscles because of it. Stopped doing them because my schedule became too busy in the future
As a man weighing over 200lbs I was unable to completely do a knee push up. Started with 10 pushups a day did till I reached 30 gradually then one day pushed myself to 60 and now doing it 100 a day (30 full pushups and 70 knee push ups) it's been 20 days now and I have seen difference
Bravoo!
way to go man keep it up
progress?
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.
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
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).
For the past 2 months ive been doing a custom warmup consisting in 3 sets of 40 crunches and 20 push ups. Normally i do 60 push ups in the morning and in the late afternoon i do 40. This improved the overall strenght of my arms and it helped me bench a few more kilos
Same but I only do pushups
@@cyberanon2463I
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
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.
its not all about gains Jeff, not every guy is a bodybuilder. We are athletes. Muscle endurance is important. At the start doing 100 pushups a day gave me so much strenght for pullups dips and compound movements, got so much newbie gains and strenght.
Yeah probably because it was newbie gains. You could have done almost anything and gained strength.
Athletes keep their muscles in balance. And that is what Jeff is saying you should do...
I agree that increasing the difficulty of the pushup is a great way to increase your reps: Especially, varying the hand-width position.
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.
Well now I know why my posture has gone to hell. At one point I was doing a minimum of 300 a day but never took care of my rhomboids. You're doing God's work brother thank you!

I always liked starting with 5, then 10, then 15, etc everytime I walked through a door. Now, that was in college and the Army so a little different atmospheres
However, just the 5 everytime you walk through a doorway drastically increased my volume and ability rather than trying to knock out 250 in an hour or so. Had a Cpt who required 5 pullups everytime you came to see him.
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. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Good stuff. Will incorporate the Superman Press Out from now on to address some of my postural issues.
I've been following you for a long time, but recently used your band work to fix shoulder pain and impingement to get over some nasty tendinitis from too much desk jockeying. Pain is gone, rolled shoulders pulling back, feeling strong again. Thanks!
damn thanks you inspired me to fix my posture to now, and now i know this is fit for that and or could work many thanks from a junior friend to a senior 🙌👋
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
Currently I am doing 70-30-30 sets along with sit ups and belly workout. Goal is to do 100 pushups in one go.
I mean if your tryna get bigger then doing more than 30 pressups aint the way to go u geg to 30 and u add weights to get back to 10 reps n start again
That's how I've been doing every exercise I do. It started out as laziness counting my reps. Then I realized I can get awesome pumps just going till I can push another rep out. And was this is the way to go! I was building faster with less exercises. I've been doing this kind of work out for since the mid nineties.

For those that say they still doing 100 a day. It's all good just don't stop. But you should still do some of the other moves. You can look at someone's physic and tell what they can and cannot do no matter what kind of shape they're in. Just don't stop moving and remember everything works together. This dude is full of knowledge.
I use to do 1000 pushups a day and I received great results and had no problems with my tendons. But weight training everyday was where I experienced problems.
Damn, how long did this take? Were you in prison at the time?

@@jdklein033 everything is mental I couldn’t do a single push-up 4 months ago when I started training but with the ability to push trough the pain I do usually like 600 a day now and that’s not my only workout
I used to do this, and I actually got into the best shape in my life. I did slow reps going down and explode right back up. I only did this while playing a videos game like madden or ncaa. Everytime I scored, I did 10-25 push ups. Take that break, score again. Do another 10-25. Until basically failure. Or my pump is too crazy.
Yessir. Makes the video game session feel nice
I do strict pushups and pullups 3x per week on Tu/Th/Sun. This allows me enough volume/frequency to progress and decent recovery. I also run stairs 3x per week and walk 15-20K steps daily.
Covid eliminating gyms and lifting the past few years really made me switch mindsets of mastering my bodyweight and going back to basics. Truthfully I don't really miss lifting and feel better.
You are my hero.

I counter my push-ups with at least 50 pull ups a day 5 days a week! Keeps my posture strong 💪
That’s so important 👍🏽
Yeah I don't get it why some people train only pushing muscles... you have also pulling muscles. Overall training almost anything "every day" is stupid, you are supposed to recover 48h and use a split. 2-way split at minimal, unless you're complete beginner, then you can get away with no split. But then you shouldn't train every day. Training the same muscle every day is so goddamn stupid (for other than maybe abs), just destroy the muscle, rest 48 hours, that's the best way for growth. Also best way to not get injured
You’re literally the best channel on here thank you for all the content
This man stays dropping gems, its videos like these why I've been subbed for years. Love all the content bro, we all appreciate you 🤘🏾✊🏾
I currently do 5 Sets / 50 Reps / 2.5 mins between sets / 3 days (750 push-ups) a week!
I could probably do more or increase my level of difficulty, but i think i’m good…for now…for a 58yr old man!
So you do fast push ups
Much wiser approach, definitely leveled up my game. Blessings
I developed wrist problems from doing pushups so I switched to using handle brackets on the floor. I’d love to see a video on proper technique with those for working various muscle groups.
If you haven't already, try working in regular wrist workouts to build those supporting muscles. I train calisthenics and used to get wrist pain until I started dedicating time to train them. I'd recommend checking out some of Chris Heria's stuff.

I recently started doing this. I was going to failure and actually developed some shoulder issues. I am back to 100% and am hoping to avoid this in the future
Me watching this video while not even being able to do 10 pushups properly: Hmmm, interesting🙂

don’t do 100 pushups a day, do 20 pushups 5 times a day 💪

It's really difficult to keep track of protein and nutrient intake at the best of times, so I've been looking for this advice for ages. Of course, I should have known Jeff would provide it eventually. Jeff, you're an absolute legend. Thank you!

@@alexandertye3244 basically stop about 5 pushups, before u feel "tired"
@@Angel-sd5nc and i didn’t understand why exactly
Hey Jeff even before watching the video I have a question. Is there good value in doing micro workouts in your opinion? For instance if I'm working at home the entire day and will only have a fullworkout in the evening then would it be wise to add some reverse planks or some other good stabilization exercise throughout the day? Or even do cardio throughout the day like jumping rope 2 minutes at a time multiple times a day. Will this be a good way to build your work capacity?
Pretty sure getting your heart rate up 2-3 times a day is good for you no matter what. Movement is life.
Movement is movement! Small things add up over time! It won’t be as effective as a longer workout in that moment, but it certainly burns some calories and gets you a little more active and that’s not a bad thing :)
Jeff has a video for people sitting alot; ua-cam.com/video/h3PZZyoXnKU/v-deo.html
Answer is yes those are absolutely valuable. In some ways better than one workout only a day. It increases your daily burn
I guess it depends on your end goal. I read that for increasing size or bulking that Cardio doesn’t need to be done every day but a few times a week. Not sure if that’s 100% correct or not. But if you just want to be fit and stamina, cardio either in long sessions or going hard in multiple short sessions will work. I used to do a few hours of cardio 3 minutes at a time then rest for a full minute then back at it. I had unlimited gas tank and could see every muscle I had but I wasn’t bulked up. So seems to ring true. Now I’m trying to trim fat and bulk which is a tricky combination. But what I’ve read and watched I’m gathering for that I need more lifting weights 4-5 days a week, cardio only a few days a week, and high Protein but slight calorie deficit diet.
A long time ago I was at the point where my best pr was 400 pushups in 14 minutes, and in retrospect after getting into legit building ( no creatine cycles ) I really started understanding how much of a toll the literal sheer volume of pushups and pullups I wad doing had on my shoulders particularly my left side. I found more creative like incline or specialized pushups in smaller volume with more focus on positioning was a sweet spot for calisthenics.
Worry about the gains boys not the numbers!
As someone who would warm up with 75 push ups straight and cool down with 75 push ups straight I feel you 🙄 my left shoulder is wrecked
Creatine is legit.But I eat a lot of steak so I don’t need it
Been doing pushups for 20+ years. At some point i was making 250 in 5 sets per day. It kills your shoulder joints. Now i make 48 in 4 sets and not raising all the way up(to protect shoulders), while going very slow down. Also mixed in some other exercises, the difference in muscle is very visible. I went from 65 to 73 kg with this change in pushups and it's mostly muscle
🧢
This is why i again feel 50x should be a max but instead do 5x10 reps of variations with good form instead.
Yeah, you didn’t gain 8kg of muscle from doing push ups more effectively…
Somebody come get this guy.
@@codylowe4791 ofc not, there's also food involved and i said i mixed in some other exercises. What are you trying to say?
@@powerup9035 that you didn’t add 8kg of muscle because you switched push up variation. I mean that’s pretty obvious. Props for gaining 8kg of muscle, but I don’t think you’re giving yourself credit if you think that came from a difference in push ups 😂
