Chest & Arms

Inspired by all the reading i’ve been doing about Navy Seal training (currently reading The Warrior Elite by Dick Couch) I decided we needed to step it up today revert to some old-school methods of building a bigger chest: LOTS OF PUSH-UPS!!!

Over the course of a 100 minute Chest & Arm workout I did 559 push-ups with my feet elevated on a bench

Started the workout off with a quadruple drop set on incline smith machine

then 120 push-ups w/ feet elevated

followed by 4 sets D-Bell Flys on the swiss ball

then 120 push-ups w/ feet elevated

followed by numerous sets of Alt D-Bell Curls, with the last set being a triple drop set

then 100 push-ups w/ feet elevated

followed by Cable Flys supersetted with Dips (4 sets each)

then 117 push-ups w/ feet elevated

followed by lying cable curls supersetted w/ Tricep Rope pushdowns (5 sets)

Decline skull crushers (3 sets)

then 102 push-ups w/ feet elevated

  1. First of all, that is TREMENDOUS. There are days I decide to do “50″ of something in however many sets, but 559?!?! Secondly, is this a little heads-up that your training clients will be “enjoying” many more pushups ;-) Seriously, pushups are great – high reps always leave me sore.

    • what a great idea! I could just make you could push-ups for an hour…throw a bunch of other stuff in between
