As Lauren said, and you no doubt realise, this is as much of a mental exercise as a physical one. I did a push-up challenge a (long) while ago with a few guys from my company gym. We started about 15 feet from a wall. Did one push-up, stood up and walked over to touch the wall, returned to start point, did two push-ups, touch the wall, return, three push-ups, etc... counting through to a final set of 15. This is a total of 120 push-ups. (Note: I was the only girl, but did "real" push ups on my toes.) The first time we tried the challenge, none of us finished (not even the PT who ran the gym, was a triathlete, and came up with the challenge). Once we realised it was a mental block around the 11 or 12 rep set, we were able to push through and finish on the next try a week later. Maybe try this method to break up the monotony and give your arms a (TINY) break to avoid cramping? Funny thing after that trial - it was my abs that hurt moreso than my arms. :-) Good luck.

But it takes a crazy man to even think about the goals you have set for yourself. So far you are on the right track, you have the right mindset. Thats basically where it all begins, So as long as you get in there and train everyday you will be fine. When I was in 8th grade we had physical fitness testing. These tests were spaced about 6 weeks apart. One of the hings you had to do for the testing was push ups. In the first go around I only was able to bust out about forty. Which was like top five in the class. But I strived for more. Everyday for there on out I did merely three sets of push ups till failure. By the time the next one rolled around I did 101. So go get it done Hey Scott, You are one crazy dude. But it takes a crazy man to even think about the goals you have set for yourself. So far you are on the right track, you have the right mindset.

But there is nothing to lose by going for it! It will _not_ be "disaster" if you fall short, just human. :-) Keep up the good work, Joe Scott,

I hear a lot of negative self talk: "potential disaster looming"... "I'm a little worried..." "Am I crazy?" So, I want to ask you, where do you think all that negative self talk is coming from? What belief, opinion, or judgement of yourself could you be reinforcing? How do you think you can reframe your thoughts to think "AMAZING GOAL WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED"... "I AM ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED I CAN..." "I AM KNOWINGLY SURE OF MY ABILITY TO DO THIS!" Having a mindset that is committed to failure, will unfortunately lead to failure. Change the way you look at this goal, Scott. All things are possible if you believe. I will be rooting in your corner. Check out my website... I would love to give you a free coaching session... you really helped me on the boot camp call the other day. Thanks. Hey Scott,

There are many ways to build for numbers in push ups and pull ups. I am a fan of the greasing the groove method and ladders as it makes it easier to get a lot of volume in without as much fatigue. The NASA 100 push up method is a great way to get there!! If you need any other methods or tips, please let me know. Choose a tactic and put it to work and you will get the numbers!!!

I will surfing the website and came across this link, http://pull-ups-training.com. Not sure how effective it is but it may be good to give it a shot. The other thing that can be done is to adopt Charles Staley's EDT as I have received a few mailers on it. His workout focuses on building strength and I personally think that this should be the way. Short and intense. I hope you all the best and thanked you for the wonderful audio clips that you have provided. In fact, I was just listening your audio on "How to Build a Six-Figure Bootcamp Business". I do think that it is not a crazy stunt but it is possible for you to achieve the objectives.

Waters Thu, 09 Oct 2008 22:20:58 +0000 http://theabsexpert.com/blog/?p=180#comment-3085 Ed Bass, a renowned fitness expert (now in his 70s), made reference to a system he learned about on how to improve the number of pull-ups by using a system using called Constant Repetition, which uses reasonably intense stimulation that strengthens the nerve impulse to the muscles involved, making them stronger and more enduring (the technical term is synaptic facilitation). The premise is to do several repetitions throughout the day, several times a week, which in the long run will allow for an increase in the number of pull-ups you can do. It would probably work as well with push-ups. You can read about Ed's results at http://www.cbass.com/Synaptic.htm which were quite remarkable. Good luck with your quest, and I hope you are able to achieve your goals.
