Day 80: Pushup Proof

We’ve worked on strength for at least 80 days. Your push-up game should be way stronger than it was 80 days ago when you tested them. Time to test them, now.

On Day 1, I had you do one single round. You will do that again, but will follow it up with additional sets.

Time Domain

  • 3 Rounds

    • Round 1: Execute pushups to failure.

    • Note the number of pushups completed.

    • Rest for as long as needed afterwards.

    • Then, do a set of 50% the total you did in set 1.

    • Rest for as long as needed afterwards.

    • Then do a set of 25% the total number you did in set 1.

    • Perform each push-up perfectly. Don’t rush. Enjoy the movement. It’s not a race to the end. Imagine your muscles working. Squeeze your glutes at the top of the pushup. Stay tight. Squeeze your abs to keep a firm trunk. Try to blast out of the bottom explosively.

Example: Let’s say you knock out 31 pushups in the set to failure (set 1). Rest immediately after, maybe 5:00. Then, do a set of 15-16 perfect strict pushups for set 2, rest again, then 7-8 perfect strict pushups, and you are done.

Workout Level Suggestions

  • Level 1, 2, & 3: All levels perform 11 pushups

    • Level 1: Knees

    • Level 2: Traditional

    • Level 3: Hand-release

Coaches Plan

Level 2 for me. I will report in comments.
