Mathias Flækøy Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Hello!If i will improve my maximum number of pushups - how should i incorporate them with the WODs?Should I doing them in the warmups? I honestly dont think it will work, cause if i do, let's say, 3x15 pushups in the warmup, it will affect the WODs. So, would it be better for me to do some pushup training in the rings after the WODs, and which WODs ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashita Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Honestly, if 3*15 of push up tire you , you are not enough strong yet to train with rings........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathias Flækøy Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 I'm not saying it will tireing me, but effect the WODs - well, 3x15 was just an example, but that's not the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Moreen Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Depends on how bug of a focus pushups are for you. I'd personally test my max and do 1 set of half that every training day in the warmup and retest once a month or so. If its really important to you, then do more sets and training that focuses on horizontal pressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Miskelly Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 If you do your WOD's early in the day you could prob just work on your push up numbers seperately later on, its not like you need equipment or anything so wouldn't be much of a problem. Just an idea if you have the time and can handle a little extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Chan Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Ashita is right. Warm up gets your muscles ready for the harder stuff, it should not affect your performance. For example, if I try HSPU without warming up first, I'll probably won't get past 10 or 12, but if I warm up first I might even get up to say 20. Please test your max reps and we'll take it from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathias Flækøy Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Thanks guys.Unfortunately i can't do the WODs earlyer, I have a school to take care of. I already know my max, and it's probably around 50, MAX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairbob Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 GreaseTheGroove. http://humanmachine.wordpress.com/2007/06/22/grease-the-groove-for-strength/ Do 5-10 sets per day at 50% of max reps. Possibly something you can do while doing the GB program but I dunno. We always need guinea pigs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashita Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Yes grease the groove seem to be really good for increase your number, i heard good from it but never tried.Well an other idea i can suggest you if you aren't too hurry ton increase your push up , first i'm wondering why you want to increase it .? is it for a contest ?But you can do a few set of 50-60 % of your max in your warming up at each workout, and once or twice a week , do a set of max rep.
