anyone know how long that would take to acompolish, im trying to gain alot of brute strength, and i can only do reps at 50.

[Haas]

you will pass out be for you get to 250
do your 50 and every day add one more push up soo see if that works ^_^

but don't let it end there w8 like 5 minuets or so and do some pull ups and push ups endurance is half the battle

go for a run maybe swim, jump rope and stretch

then start punching things maybe get a punching bag or some jerk you dont like (j/k)

all in all 300 push ups is a Nobel effort but that alone isn't enough to feed your body or maybe it is I don't know

good luck

What's the point of doing 300 pushups (besides ego)?

Hit the gym and don?t be one of those guys who just work one muscle group day after day.

Edit: My apologies for being vague.

In lifting as in martial arts balance is essential. To train only one muscle group will have consequences. (Think of the guys at the gym who never work their legs. They have great upper bodies, but their legs are like toothpicks)

Don?t be a toothpick guy.

Why not? This is the most efficient way to work out - you get to hit the gym every day and still have enough rest time in between muscle groups to allow for hypertrophy.

See if you can find any info on Paddy Doyle or get his book and see how he did it. He is by no means a specialist but did 1.5 million pressups in a year (4000 a day) by being highly motivated.

If you really want to do it you can but you have to be determined within yourself. Its up to you really.

Did he do 4000 all at once?

I think he meant the same muscle group day after day. You know.....bench press one day, incline the next, decline the next, etc.....

A couple years back I tried the pushup thing.

I did what was said by someone earlier. I had a number I wanted to do at once. I tried for it and figured out how many I could do.

I divided the amount I could do at once by two. Then I did three sets of that number at the very least every day. If I felt like doing more I would. But once I did a certain amount on one day I did at least that many the next. I never let the number go down.

I don't do that anymore. I don't have the time.
