Pressup Help.

[Youngblood]

Hey guys, Im joining the Royal marines and have my final fitness tests at the commando training centre at the end of july and I like your help with a program or tips on how to improve numbers of pressups done in a 2 minute period without stopping or putting knees down, sorry the questions not really boxing related, but you guys have helped loads with many of my boxing queries so thought you would be the best to ask Nice 1 in advance dudes.

2 mins of pushups without stopping? That is intense, you'd be doing like 150 pushups in that time period non stop :S I don't know if that even possible. Are you sure it's not 1 min?

But yeah like Donny has said just increase the time each week by 10 seconds starting from a low number (20) but do plenty of sets so that your doing over 2 mins of pushups, just not in a row. Or you could always do Tabata's 20 seconds of pushups, 10 seconds rest, repeat this 7 more times. Train hard mate.

Oh it's possible, but I doubt many if any would make it there unless they trained like a crazed trainaholic for it...like say, me.... Not sure what I could do now as I haven't done lots of push ups in a bit, but when I was doing them in big #'s...I did upper 90's in 1 min, and finished around 170 or so. But that was ridiculous and I wasn't mixing up routine so much at the time.

I'm guessing if it is true...they are talking about still holding yourself up after 2 mins, and not so much the numbers..prob. like 60-70.
