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


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
