Wednesday 25 August 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.

I propose a different variation:
Feet elevated pushup
Regular military pushup
Atlas Pushup (feet on floor, hands on two chairs)
(and if you still have some fight left in you)
Wall pushups
