Bodyweight Training – Pushup 300 A long time ago I heard of a boxer that would challenge his friends to try and do 300 pushups in 5 minutes. This is doing a lot of pushups in a short period of time.
The world record for the most pushups in 5 minutes is 441 pushups. These are staggering numbers and I can hear it now, that it's impossible to do that many, they are probably not doing them right.
People get good at what they practice getting good at, you never get better by discounting others abilities.
Another thing I hate hearing is when someone pulls the injury card out, doing that many pushups will wreck the shoulder or your body can't handle that many in a short period of time, your body needs rest.
Remember the body will respond to whatever you push on it, think weakness and get weakness, think injury get injury, think lack get lack.
Instead of thinking about how is that possible, work a little harder on it, and you might surprise yourself. What if you set a goal to be able to do
300 in 5 minutes and kept on pushing and sweating and got to the point of doing 200 or 250 in 5 minutes, how would that make you feel.
You might not ever get to 300 in 5 minutes but to get to 200 or 250 in
5 minutes is something not many men could ever do, not to mention most men won't put themselves through the physical and mental toughness training it takes to push to a higher level.
Try to see where you’re at, push hard and fast and do as many as possible when the lactic acid starts to build up (The Burn ) don't quit, keep pushing that's where the big gains are made and the winners are born.
