Wednesday 7 July 2010: 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)
Post results to Comments.

I did 20 one-minute sets with 5 regular PU, 5 knee PU, and 5 countertop PU, followed by a rest of however much time was remaining for that particular minute; the longer I took to do the push ups, the shorter my rest.
Great blog; I get excited to do something different every day.
