Perfect Push-up Experiment Wrap Up

Remember to consult your doctor before starting any workout system. Okay here is my Perfect Push-up Experiment Wrap up. These are tips and tricks to help you get the most of your work out with this system they give you in the box. Stretch: Make sure you stretch out fully before starting up your routine. There were a couple of sets where I could have easily torn a muscle had I not caught myself fast enough. Make sure you focus on your shoulders  and back, those are going to be...

Perfect Push-up Experiment Day 11-15

Image via Wikipedia So it has been awhile since I have posted an updated on my Perfect Push-up status. That doesn't mean I haven't been following my routine. Quite the contrary, even when I was in Missouri for a vacation I did them. Which was very hard to do I might add. I did measurements last night at my parents house, and to a little dismay I haven't seen any growth in my arms or chest. However, my chest actually shrunk...I think this is do to fat being removed rather than a lack o...

Perfect Push-up Experiment Day 9

Day 9 was yesterday. Im trying to keep the intensity going. I get home from my farm work trip tomorrow and will be able to see if 10 days if perfect push-ups have done any work. That should get me motivated. Tip: I've found that putting 5 min of break time in between each set works really well. Basically that give you a 30 min workout. Being at 120 pushups feels pretty good. Can't wait to get to 200. Keep it lean!

Perfect Push-up Experiment Day 7

Sets for Today: 14, 10, 6 2 Regular 1 Wide 1 Close Total Push-ups: 120 So here is a tip: When you start getting up in days during this program, start doing your sets throughout the day. By the time I finished the close push-ups my arms felt like they were going to fall off. No exaggeration. By spacing them out you can get into the "burst" mode of exercise. If you do them too close together you aren't able to maintain a high level of intensity. Sure you feel the burn, but...

Perfect Push-up Experiment Day 5

So day 5 was very difficult for me. Again it was a day of; 1 regular 1 wide 1 close Total:90 push-ups However, I had a day of traveling for vacation and as a result have been up for 24 hours. I really shouldn't have been able to do the push-ups, but once I started I had to finish. Due to that, I am extremely tired. I totally felt a little bit of muscle growth though. I can visibly see changes in my chest and biceps, which is really cool. I am more interested in this expe...

Perfect Push-up Experiment Day 3

Sets: (14,10,6) 1 regular 1 wide 1 close Total push-ups: 90 So after a break yesterday I started up my routine. I waited to do them till around 10pm. Which I think was a mistake, I should have spaced my sets out more throughout the day. By the time I finished the final set my arms were killing me! I did my regular and wide sets back to back. Each set being done in 2 mins. I took a 30 minute break to watch stargate: universe (yeah, that's right) and then finished up. I can tell you that th...
