What is the best way to increase the amount of push-ups you are able to do?
I know just keep doin em is the basic fact, but is there any excercise that will assist in gains with pectoral and deltoid endurance that is similar to doing a pushup?

try wieghted push ups, by having someone place some plates on your back as you do the push.

Put Up or Shut Up

MeLo

here's what ive learned...

Test the Max no. of reps you can do at one go
Let the no. be,say 20
And you want to do 40

Training
- 1st set - do 20 no. of reps(you should be at failure here)
- rest 10 secs
- do it until failure again(say maybe you did 8 here)
- rest 10 secs
- do it until failure agian(maybe 6 here)
- rest 10 secs
- do it until failure again(maybe 3 here)
- rest 10 secs
- complete the final '3' reps

You would do this twice a week.... this is basically just to let you do more push-ups here lol.

After 2 weeks or so. Test again.
