This is my new goal. I can do around 30 right now (estimate). What would be the best way of achieving this goal quickly, rather than just doing pushups a lot?

Switch it up and do different types of pushups. Do clap pushups, wide arm pushups, diamond pushups, negatives. Benchpressing can help too.

But honestly I don 't see why you need to be able to do 100 pushups, unless you're planning to do some long term rock climbing or something.

Pushups are great for increasing punching strength. I'm a boxer, I'm sure you can see the correlation. So what are those different types of pushups about? Also, any tips on one handed pushups? I can't keep the balance for it, and my face takes the position of whatever arm I lifted up.

If you want more punching endurance for long rounds, 100 pushups will indeed help.

But if you want faster punches (and more powerful), clap pushups are best. There are also other types of plyometric pushups you can look up.

Quit being a pussy, girlie push-ups dont count Doerty.


Also ,the wider your legs are the easier it is to do one-handed pushups
Bruce lee used to be able to do 1 finger push-ups, think it has to do with breathing techniques , not sure.

Fucking zeus all up in my thread! and yes, hardman, I should do some claps, but that can come after my goal of 100 normal ones in a row.

Lose weight.

If you 'estimate' that you can do 30, then you clearly don't do pushups that often.

Shit most guys cant even do 15,let alone 30.

good to start slow and add in increments by 5 maybe 10,15.


Start with 20,then wait then 25 or 30 ,each day just keep adding more. Same formula as if you were lifting wieghts,you just slowly add more as your body gets used to it and developes the muscle.

Try it for one week, Im sure by the end of the week you can do 100, might be sore ,but still. that will wear off.

Or do 50 and then take a 20 min break and then do the other 50,

The next day do 50 and then take a 15 min,
The next day do 50 and then take a 10 min break,and so on.

Until you get to the point were you dont need a break,
and can finish with them all without stopping.
