Workout Description
Maximum number of consecutive standard push-ups.
Why This Workout Is Easy
Basic test of upper body pressing endurance.
Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Stamina (7/10): A fundamental test of upper body pushing stamina. The ability to perform many consecutive standard push-ups before failure is key.
- Speed (3/10): Cycling reps efficiently without excessive rest at the top or bottom contributes to higher numbers, but it's not about maximal speed per rep if form is compromised.
- Endurance (2/10): Low cardiovascular demand. Primarily tests localized muscular endurance in the chest, shoulders, and triceps.
- Strength (2/10): Requires a baseline of relative upper body pressing strength. Max reps tests the endurance of this basic strength pattern.
- Flexibility (1/10): Basic shoulder, elbow, and wrist mobility is needed for full range of motion (chest to deck, full lockout).
- Power (1/10): While push-ups can be done explosively (e.g., clapping push-ups), standard max reps focus on endurance, not power per rep.
Modality Profile
A pure gymnastics workout, focused on max reps of a single movement.
