Before we get to that, One of my lads was working with push ups and asked me to put up a few variations for him, always happy to oblige I gave him 10 including the standard push up.
He was kind enough to video this very quick demonstration:

Now back to the Push up challenge.
The program the guys downloaded looked unrealistic to me, but they’re a tough lot and had a crack at it anyhow. Most got stuck pretty quick and all progress stalled.
So here’s the method I’ve given then as an alternative:
Train five days per week using the undulating method.
Essentially it goes like this:
Monday – warm up and knock out a max set. We’ll call this 100%
Tuesday – 60%
Wednesday – 80%
Thursday – 70%
Friday – 95%
Next Monday go for a new maximum.
The percentages are variable, what is important is that you go all out on the Monday and vary the intensity over the rest of the week.
Have a play and see how you get on.
