The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

You wont loose your strength so much as imo gain, and in transferable potential, unless you start bringing in weights simulataneously to doing that program meaning you'd start to loose your strength after 10-12 weeks . If hypertrophy is a goal of yours, that amount of volume isn't going to do massive things toward that without a follow up hypertrophy and lower volume cycle.
In the meantime, pending your diet, density is where you'll reap most additional to your over transferable strength. one hand one legged pushups and hindus and decline to handstand ( 1 arm opposite leg) hindus are a good advanced level version aswell. I personally can not do the 1 hand 1 leg handstand but there's always later if I want to test it out. i used to do 700 pushups a day and felt like i miight be good to get to 1000 but never did yet. I really like that build up sequence. 400 will be fun. I usually do mine though - as I do with most bwe's - for 4-6 x 50's. I just find it easier in counts of ten to go's and only 5 more to make a set. 2 sets = 100. Psychological preference I guess. Ive heard big wraps about the seal fitness levels. Sounds fun. my bwe regime is as follows squats ( and variations) calf raises chest raises tri cep dips and singles variations pushups and variations chest raises and level advancements lower back raises then 1000 - 3000 ab variations in army standard 118 ( / 120) sets. then finish with light weight 15-30-50- rep pyramids. Also find that morning cardio and a good solid callesthenic regime supports that immensely. |
