Introduction:

 

 

In Calisthenics there is many methods and training styles we use to improve our strength, Endurance.

and one of the most best method for increasing Reps is "Greasing the Grooves". In this technique we choose and exercise of which we are going to do as many sets as you can throughout the day which means longer rests, more frequency. This will also get you familiar with the new exercise you are trying to improve and in calisthenics, this means new skills like: handstand, pull ups, one arms pushups, etc

 

How It's Works: 

 Greasing the Grooves works in the following manner: 

1. Choose an Exercise you want to improve: Exercises like: Pushups for example. You can choose any exercise (like handstand, pull ups, muscle ups, some variations) you want to master.

2.  Half the Maximum Reps you can do: Like: I can do maximum 10 pushups so, 10/2 = 5. If you get a decimal value like 11/2 = 5.5 then simply round-off the numbers and make it 6.

3. Do the Half Maximum Reps throughout the day: So, my half maximum rep is 5 so, I will do 5 pushups every an hour or two or any time throughout the day. Keeping the track of my Sets I did in a day and Reps per Set

 

 Conclusion: 

 Here You go with this method you can practice and master that new calisthenic exercise or you can increase the reps of the exercise you want to improve. 

I, Personally increased my pushups reps from 8 to 20 in 1 weeks just by using this technique. I did total of 100 pushups everyday. 

You can feel sore after the day but do it and you can take a 1 day rest. Your body will quickly adapt to this stresses.

100 Push ups a Day: All Experiences

Doing 100 push ups a day is challenging at first but with time it becomes easier. So if you are a guy who watched some YouTube videos or read some articles about the benefits of doing it or want to know if it works or does it have some disadvantages. You know internet is full of opinions and some people don't actually do research or try it before giving you some advice over the topic so in this blog you are going to know the experience I've got.

EXPERIENCE: 

Pushups are great bodyweight exercise. It targets mainly chest and triceps. So has I started the first day was not so hard I did it easily but the second day, I felt soreness in my triceps and especially on shoulders and chest area. It was hard to do when you have pain in your muscles But I did it and comes the 3rd day which is quite challenging as same the soreness hasn't gone I did it anyway. Then After some days that 100 pushups a day became easy and boring. And I did more than 100 pushups a day it became that easy.

BENEFITS:

I noticed some benefits:

1. My Pushups reps increased

2. My Triceps strengthened

3. It motivated me to become stronger.
