Stop Doing "100 Pushups A Day" (I'M BEGGING YOU!)

From the creator

The classic 100 pushups a day workout has been tried by many, but should you be doing them? That is the question that gets answered in today’s video. The attraction of simple to follow, easy to remember exercise plan that has the ability to deliver a bigger, stronger chest is definitely something that cannot be denied. That being said, is doing 100 pushups a day worth your time? Stop Doing 100 Pushups A Day - http://athleanx.com/x/100-pushups-a-day Subscribe Here to This Channel Here - http://bit.ly/2b0coMW We have to look at the reasoning behind why people want to try this 100 pushup a day workout and it’s what appears to be an obvious answer; they want a bigger chest and / or a stronger chest. Let’s start with strength and where doing 100 pushups a day falls short of building strength. When you compare a pushup to a pure strength building exercise like a bench press, it simply doesn’t compare. Why? Well, we need to look at both exercises, especially the pushup. When it comes to the pushup, you are only lifting 60-75% of your bodyweight on each rep. That means a 160 lb person is only lifting 120 lbs of bodyweight (on the high end). Not to disparage anyone, but a 120 lb bench press is by far no means an impressive feat of strength. I understand we all start somewhere, but that would be considered beginning weight. Now, if you worked your way up to perform 20, 30, or 40 reps of that 120 lbs on the bench press, many would argue that that it is still not as impressive as if
