7 Weeks to 100 Push-Ups: Strengthen and Sculpt Your Arms, Abs, Chest, Back and Glutes by Training to do 100 Consecutive Push-Ups

7 Weeks to 100 Push-Ups: Strengthen and Sculpt Your Arms, Abs, Chest, Back and Glutes by Training to do 100 Consecutive Push-Ups

It's the world's most recognizable, straight-forward exercise, but most people don't know it's actually a hardcore full-body workout. 7 Weeks to 100 Push-Ups is the ultimate program to train the body to go from just one push-up to 100 consecutive reps in under two months-sculpting muscles in the chest, abs, back, glutes and arms without a single piece of unwieldy equipment.

The book starts with detailed instructions on how to perform a proper push-up and how to maximize its benefit, breaking down the strength-building effects muscle by muscle. In addition there are day-by-day and week-by-week exercise plans that outline how to work up to 100 push-ups safely and effectively.

The program continues with push-up variations, alternating hand position and stance to effectively target specific muscles rarely developed by the average person. The book also prepares readers for strength training with specific diet and nutrition plans and additional aerobic work.

" I've read the book through the very first evening after I've received it. I always wanted to do a hundred pushups, but I never knew HOW to reach that magical figure. In this book, Steve Speirs shows you exactly how. Step-by-step (or should I say push-up by push-up!). All I can say is: Check out his 3 websites and if you like what you see ... buy this book!

    Great lens. The Hindu push-up looks like a sun-salutation/plank maneuver from Yoga, but very interesting. Thank you.

    My favorite push up with the brazillian push up. I personally LOVE push ups. Push ups are in my daily routine.

    Totally agree that using various equipment and pushup variations can enhance your pushup workout. What are your thoughts about performing the regular pushup to increase muscle tension but using different muscle actions (i.e. Static, Static – Dynamic, Dynamic Slow, Dynamic regular etc)?

    I work for a company YOUTRAINFITNESS, LLC and have created some pushup test cadences. If you think they would be useful to share with persons who are practicing for the maximum pushup performance, (e.g. 100 pushups) feel free to post the links below so that others can access.

    Check out a Free Pushup Test Cadence available via Youtube or the website of the company I work for https://youtrainfitness.com/

    Nice one! Push ups can really improve your body in a lot of ways! To progress, you can try harder variations such as hand-stand push ups. Keep up the good work!

    Modified Push Ups -As I read your blog post, I couldn’t help but think of the Push-Up Bench as the most effective way for people who struggle with push ups , to be able to do them correctly (with full range of motion). Most modified push-ups make them easier but only allow one or two variations. The Push Up Bench has 11 different levels to work through on the way to a full push-up.

    Really underated exercise. I am still aching from my last workout. I use a variety of angles and I also hold dumbbells and push up into a dumbbell row. Art, like the idea, but don't think I am tough enough for the cold showers just yet.

    Thanks For The kind comments, Shoulder expert!

    Excellent tips, Art!

    I'll have to try your method of hydration. Proper hydration is so important. I'm also going to give your ice cold showers technique a try!

    Good info about a basic and excellent exercise. Thanks for promoting this sometimes forgotten tool that should be in everyone's fitness arsenal!
  • Art Gonzalez May 14, 2008 @ 11:59 am | delete
    Excellent recommendations. I would emphasize though the importance of proper hydration. A technique I was taught about a year ago is to drink six glasses of water (it's difficult when you are starting!) first thing in the morning. Then wait about 45 minutes or an hour (while you are getting ready) to eat or drink anything else. Then continue drinking clean pure water the rest of the day as normal. This technique stimulates all the internal organs and brings them rapidly to prime condition. You will feel the difference in a few days. Also another tip is to take ice cold showers. It will feel you with super energy and also make you sleep better at night.

    I do the 10 minute push up routine which calls for 10 pushups in the first minute and then 10 the next minute and so on for 10 minutes for a total of 100 pushups. Try it you'll like it. Within 6 mos you will be doing 200 in 10 minutes.
