100 push ups a day

[mayankmatador]

push ups is the mother of all exercise, gaining wait totally depends on calorie intake... any muscle building exercise with proper diet will increase diet, and limit cardio only to warm up.

in my teens i used to do 120 push ups in one set.

and 70 push ups on my knuckles.

excercise is important but if you want to gain weight and muscle mass.. your MAIN goal should be to EAT EAT and EAT!!! Gym and workout come second to eating... eat 7-8 times a day... minimum 6 times a dayy ATLEAST!!!

food to eat.. eat lotss of eggs.. my breakfast is usually 7-8 eggs in the morning with atleast 4 Cajun chicken sandwiches (stuff them up with layers of chicken and loads of salad) and a nice big glass of orange juice.. i know its hard to eat a lot as soon as you wake up.. so when you do wake up first drink a glass or two of water.. it'll wake your whole system up than start making your food and eat it 10-15mins later.. if you're still finding it difficult to eat a lot.. break it down into two shifts.. eat half your breakfast than and rest 30-40mins later.. or whatever way suites you but know atleasttt eat that much for breakfast.. MINIMUM!! this will also mean you start going to bed early and start waking up early..

after that meal.. few hours later.. when everyone is up.. eat your normal family breakfast or whatever is cooking at home.. I usually take down 3-4 stuffed parathas with yogurt makhan or whatever else.. just increase your quantity.. drink lots of milk too.. i know when I was young I used to see my cousins take down a huge bowl of pure desi ghee which I tried but its pretty disgusting and hard to do lol... but you can try that also.. lunch.. again.. lots of rotis (lots of carbs) or bread or rice or pasta (they all are high carb foods.. if you are one of those whose household eats a lot of rice intensive meals than try switching to brown rice.. it has lots of carbs).. also with this.. eat a lot of chicken breast!! it is probably one of the highest protein meats you can find.. than again afternoon lunch around 3pm.. I usually again eat with rest of family whatever is cooking.. just take down more rotis and make sure there is something which is protein intensive.. in salan or sabzi whatever is cooking.. evening meal.. againn.. rice or pasta or some other carb intensive meal with I usually prefer a steak of beef (it has creatine in it which helps you give temporary strength to lift heavier plus speeds up your muscle recovery).. but if you prefer chicken than you can go with chicken breasts again (very high source of protein).. dinner.. again whatever is cooking at home.. just loads of it.. and ofcourse cut up a nice big plate or two of salad... when you're not sitting down and eating.. always have something healthy to eat.. like badaams or kajjus.. they are really good source of healthy oil.. think of it as healthy grease for your muscles

second comes weight training... first you have to understand your own body.. some people can recover faster after workouts and some take longer time.. everyone's body is different.. if you are naturally very skinny and have a high metobalism (that is no matter how much you eat you cant seem to put on weight).. than you should take longer rests.. maybe workout only 2 or 3 times a week.. and give your body more time to build muscles.. its very important you understand your body.. if you over work yourself you will not gain anything.. because muscles do not build when you're working out they build when you're resting.. so give yourself good rest be patient.. do notttt over work yourself which I know lot of people end up doing than they cry about not gaining anything..

the type of weight training.. if you want to get bigger than concentrate on your biggest muscles!! they are.. your lower back and your thighs... if these muscles grow.. your whole body grows.. concentrate on these.. you should do Squats.. and do Deadlift.. and also if you go to the gym.. work out your legs overall.. try to keep weights heavy and the reps low.. if you can do 10 reps with ease.. than you need to go higher!! because remember you're trying to gainn muscle.. not tone itt.. so go heavier until your reps come down.. i usually lift to about 5 reps.. once i start doing about 7-8 reps on the same weight.. i increase the weight... remember do these exercises firstt!! once you're done these than maybe can do smaller exercises like shoulders.. chest (probably easiest part of your body to build with fastest results).. neck, etc.. and mostt important thingg EAT and REST after workoutt!!!

Once you get into this routine.. you'll start to see results within 2 weeks I can guarantee.. but DO NOT quit!!! biggest fightt in working out if your psychological state.. if you get frustrated and you startt to think that you can never gain.. than you probably never will.. sooo keep going regularly to the gym.. keep eating good.. and rest..

and please keep us updated on your progress.. really would love to see you succeed.. goodluck!!


(and wow thats a long response lol just noticed.. but am really passionate about this stuff and would love to help you outt )

OP - Now u have made clear u wanna gain weight, stop Cardio, its overhyped! Its good for lean body, aesthetics but not good if you want to be strong (powerlifter).

Some fat reserve in middle body part is not bad, it gives us strength to lift heavy.

You should try GOMAD program (Gallon Of Milk A Day), our desi pehalwan have awesome physique. Milk has Protein, Fat, Carb. Increases testosterone levels, which means more muscle & strength. Don’t believe the cholesterol myths: saturated fat is healthy. You need protein to build muscle & prevent muscle loss. 1 gallon of whole milk contains 120g protein. 20% whey, 80% casein. The dextrose in whole milk spikes insulin, a muscle building hormone which tells your body to move the proteins into your muscles.

Its cheap (1 gallon whole milk contains 2400kcal, 200g carbs, 120g fat, 120g protein and lots of vitamins & minerals for a relative low price.), its natural (better than steroids for beginners), its easy (liquid food), its fast (zero preparation, digets fast).

25lbs (11kg) weight gain during the 1st month is common on GOMAD.

Also check StrongLifts 5×5 program -
StrongLifts 5x5: The Ultimate Strength and Muscle Program | StrongLifts.com

Eat eat eat, just avoid refined sugar and refined oil. Prefer Desi Ghee, and its winters so consume Dates (Iron), Wallnuts/Cashew/Almonds/Peanuts, 1 banana a day, avoid bread, rice. Prefer cold water bath even in winters, squat style toilet seat, minimum 8hr sleep.

I started doing pushups back in january, I started with 10..then progressed to 15,25,36,43 and from past one week doing 50,just now finished on 51.I was doing since january but gave a gap from april till august,When i finished,i was on 36,when i started i am doing 50 to 51.


Any advice how can i make my chest along with muscle with simple exercise.

I think you are a lean/skinny type. I suggest you to eat meat, run, and stick with push ups. Advantage with you is that you are lean/skinny and not fat.

@ sports people

will 10 sets of 10 push ups and little over 1 hour of exercise help you get in better shape? My goal is to gain 10 pounds in 8 weeks... will this exercise help?

If you want to gain weight, just do nothing, you will gain weight automatically and when you pass 26-28 age, you will automatically gain weight. Just keep the running and do some weight excercise. Thats it.

When I was in early 20s, I desperately tried to gain weight. And now trying to loose it.

Thx

There is so much information available on the internet about work-out, why would you ask the members here instead of going directly to the source?

GOMAD (milk) would destroy me! Many people have lactose intolerance. Milk would make me very ill. But I agree that people are going insane over things like eggs and whole milk. The human body needs fats as part of a normal diet. Just not too much.

Eggs still have a bad rep for cholesterol, which confuses me. Maybe an M.D. can clarify... but your cholesterol is made by your own body. It's not like the cholesterol in eggs magically passes through your stomach lining to enter your blood.

Does twiddling my fingers count as exercise! :/

i don't like fast metabolism. it keeps me skinny.

 

[Last Hope]

Maybe 3 sets would help!

My Gym trainer says that its better to do push ups against a platform like a table or wash basin.
You can easily carry out around 60-70 in this.
And the resultant effect is just like 30-40 ground push ups.
Well i prefer this and it does work.
It takes time but the over all effect is good.
I can do around 300-400 push ups a day against a wash basin or a table or any platform!

Actually you need to do it in all angles.

Against the Ground, Legs straight (rested on a chest level stool) and legs raised a little.

Or you can butch up an do some bench presses (flat, incline, decline). Although the jury is out on the decline bench press being any good.

The pectoral muscle can take a beating and you need to exercise it in so many ways. Also a Push is just for your chest you won't bulk up by fixating on chest muscles alone.

If you can go to a gym do that. Do 2 or three days workout on your chest. 3 really good workouts with rest days in between is infinitely better than 7 sissy workouts.

And you need to do everything

Bench Press, Dumble Press, Dumble flyes, Chest Dips (better than decline bench press).

Use free weights more than machines wherever you can. You will be able to lift more with machines than compared to free weights, but I personally think better size and shape develops through doing free weights right since your muscle is not only buff but also strong.
