Started doing push ups

  • Loaded Butterfly: 20lbs x 2, 2x 50reps, 35min rest
  • Loaded groin stretch: 20lbs, 1x 5reps, 13m rest, 1x 10reps, 10m rest, 1x 6reps

  • Jefferson Curl: 32.5 lbs, 1.5" depth, 1x 15reps
At this point I approximated a rep system I thought up I call "The Howitzer Gamble";
  1. AMRAP, 30s rest, AMRAP, 30s rest, AMRAP, 30s rest
  2. AMRAP, 2m rest, AMRAP, 2m rest, AMRAP, 2m rest
  3. AMRAP, 10m rest, AMRAP, 10m rest, AMRAP, 10m rest
  4. AMRAP, 30m rest, AMRAP, 30m rest, AMRAP, 30m rest
  5. AMRAP, 10m rest, AMRAP, 10m rest, AMRAP, 10m rest
  6. AMRAP, 2m rest, AMRAP, 2m rest, AMRAP, 2m rest
  7. AMRAP, 30s rest, AMRAP, 30s rest, AMRAP, 30s rest
  8. AMRAP, 30s rest, AMRAP, 30s rest, AMRAP, 30s rest
Best cycled twice as I feel pretty fresh after the Howitzer Gamble Approximate and could get one of those second winds, but I'll save that for another day.
TOTAL: 94 push ups + 2 failed + 2 eccentric only
  • Push ups: Feet elevated 17", on Fists, 4" - 2" from floor each push up; full range
  • 10reps, 30s rest, 9reps, 35s rest
  • 4reps, 2m rest, 5reps, 2m rest
  • 5reps, 10m rest, 8reps, 10m rest, 8reps, 12.5m rest
  • 5reps, 37m rest, 5reps, 33m rest, 5reps, 31m rest
  • 5reps, 18m rest, 4reps, 15m rest, 3reps, 17m rest, 1rep, 12m rest
  • 2reps, 4m rest, 2reps, 3m rest, 1rep, 2m rest
  • 1rep, 40s rest, 1rep, 35s rest, failed rep, 30s rest
  • eccentric only, 35s rest, failed rep, 35s rest, eccentric only, END

I'm trying to prove that bodyweight 2 hand push ups can get bench up to 400+lbs, that doing a 1000 push ups in 1 set, every day isn't that bad or difficult even.

Furthermore, that you can add 5 lbs twice a month to push ups while doing 1000 a day (in the least sets, under 5) to have ~130 lbs on 1000 push ups in a year.

July 2021: Current bench max is 205 lbs and max push ups I've done recently is 34.

Am now also trying to prove that one can calf raise 1500lbs.
Secondarily, that one can reach this level of strength with unweighted calf raises, shin training, and possibly a foot curl with a DB between the feet.

July 2021: Current calf raise max is about 280 lbs.


Also I dry brush with cactus bristle brush most every day for 30 minutes or so. This includes face, eyelids, neck. Gotta get that thick steel skin and circulation. I'll upgrade to something rougher soon here.

I am convinced and it is my overarching goal to workout 12+ hours a day with high relative intensity, little rest. At this point I should only need perhaps 4 hours of sleep. After reaching my second overarching goal of working out 16 hours a day, I should only need 2 hours of sleep!

I also think training hands, wrists and grip allows you to actually knock most anyone out in one hit, thanks to how solid and strong your hands will be and how much power you can put through them.
My goal is 100 lb wrist curl for 20 reps each hand, and 50 lb wrist extensions for 20 reps each hand, wrist forward lever (inside of arm) 50 lbs for 20 reps each hand with lever length averaged at 3" (0 - 6" inch lever) due to plate thickness and individual weight, and similarly for reverse wrist lever (outside of arm). A plank on the back of my fingers in a claw or 'orb' form as well (such that I could hold an egg in each hand and it would not break).

July 2021: Currently I can do wrist curl: 32.5 lbs for 20 reps. wrist extension: 22.5 lbs for 10 reps. wrist lever: 20lbs, 1" lever, for 6 reps. reverse wrist lever: 20lbs, 1" lever, for 8 reps.

Am I reading this wrong or did this workout include an hour and 10 minutes of rest time?
 
You are reading correctly. I space out each exercise as well. I am currently training with meager intensity!
I put another workout program on hold but will starting it up again. It's one I designed myself as well but is methodical:
Relative Intensity Training Program! Exercise Selection: 1.
I will now integrate it into my workout. This is Level 4 of the Relative Intensity Training Program: GHOST PEPPER SOUP!
