Back in 2023 for the month of May, a few of my basketball buddies and I decided to do a push-up challenge.

The goal: 3,000 push-ups total in a month

What I did: 3,100. 

I hit 100 per day. Sometimes I broke them down into multiple sets throughout the day (4-5 sets of 20-25 reps). Sometimes I sprinkled them into my main strength workouts like this:

• Band Pulls (8)
• Push-ups (10)
• Wall Sits (30 secs)
• Push-ups (10)

5 rounds, resting as needed

The results: 

Not bad, huh? Haters will say this is photoshopped. I'm so tired of hearing this.

I promise you, it's not! (It was done in an app called Canva lol). 

When it comes to push-ups, most people think those are for your shoulders and chest. Sure, this move does hit those muscles, but push-ups also:

• Improve your posture, making you look leaner!
   
• Improve core strength, preventing future low back issues
   
• Work your glutes in addition to your core, chest, shoulders, and arms (which means they burn more calories than a lot of other exercises

OK, you really know what I'm really tired of hearing?

"You need to cut carbs if you wanna lose weight."

Because the truth is... you can. Take a look here...

All carbs don't make you fat (how to get away with MORE carbs).

Enjoy,
