Training for Max Pushups, how would your chest workout change? (Military guys?)

[Superfecta]

If you were training for max pushups...and your usual chest day was Mondays, how would you train for pushups?

well personally what I've noticed with push-ups is that benching heavy wont really help your push-up numbers. If you wanna do a lot of push-ups I would suggest either doing a lot of push-ups or keeping the reps on bench relatively high.

Just my 2 cents.

No idea. My guess is that you train high reps doing push-ups with variable positioning of your hands. Maybe do CG bench or reverse-grip benching w/ your tris using high reps, too.

just keep doing pushups and dips will help as well....in recruit training for the marine we were slayed day in and day out with pushups and other exercises..i wasnt dying from the pushups like other guys were simply because i practiced them alot along with my pullups and situps before i shipped out

I think benh helps a little however when i was really doing alot of pushups for my pt test (65 in a min i could pull of 80 reps maybe more) i did the 10 pushups an hour thing.. every hour your awake at the 60 min mark do ten p/u, then next week 15, then 20, you will be pretty suprized.. i added chair pushups between 2 chairs with my feet suspended too.. in about a month to 6 weeks you will be popping out pushups effortlessly..
