Wednesday 18 Apr 2007: PU DROP SETS
PUSH-UP DROP SETS
Today we'll be applying a popular weightlifting technique to a bodyweight exercise. The concept is simple: perform a set of hard push-ups, then immediately perform a set of an easier push-up variation, then immediately perform a third set of an even easier version. This workout is tough; do not underestimate it. Keep the reps low, especially early in the session, to avoid burnout.
Complete as many drop sets as possible in twenty minutes.
Advanced:
- Feet Elevated PU
- Regular PU
- Knee PU
Intermediate:
- Regular PU
- Knee PU
- Countertop PU
- Knee PU
- Countertop PU
- Countertop PU (move feet closer to the countertop)

Damn you! Are you trying to kill me? My arms are dead. Startet with 3 elevated / 3 normal / 3 knee, then quickly dropped to 2 and then to 1 after 5 / 7 minutes. Then 1/1/1 the rest of the time. Didn't count though.
Fun thing: After this workout, try flexing your arms. Mine went straigt up because my triceps were burnt and the biceps were still working :)
Just a quick question for people doing the Push-up Challenge 2007.How are finding doing all the Push-ups plus the push-ups from the wod.Iam doing the challenge for Push-ups and Sit-ups but Iam finding the workouts catching up with me on my other training.Also how are breaking up the the sets for Push-up challenge?Shame we dont have a forum or blog just for the challenge.
