Push up bet- training assistance?

Question

Im fat and out of shape so my buddy bet me that i can't do 25 pushups. So here is how the money flows
if i can't do 25 pushups i lose $100
if i do 25 pushups, I get $100
for every pushup from 25 to 50- i get $20 per pushup
for every pushup from 51 to 99- i get $100 per pushup
for every pushup 100 and over- get $1000 per pushup

I just tried and did 28- i have until a week from tomorrow for the big day. any training advice other than doing as many pushups as i can as many times a day as i can?

Answer 1

The time of day you train can be important. Train at the same time as the event, to get the blood sugar up.

also, do other excersizes, like squats, jumping jacks, and jogging. They'll help you loose weight and strengthen your metabolism without over exhausting your arm muscles.

and on the big day, don't eat anything too heavy. Have plenty of fruit. And don't eat anything high in sugar until less than ten minutes before you have to do the pushups. Sugar gives you a burst of energy but in half an hour you get weaker than normal.

Answer 2

If you can find a backpack, fill it with as much weight as you can, books, rocks, anything up to the point where you can barely make the minimum number to win the bet.

Do as many push-ups as you can once every 4 hours, every other day. Increase the backpack weight a little every time. Give your muscles time to rest and recover. Rest 2 days before the event.

Then when you do your push-ups without the weight on your back you will feel light as a feather and maybe even surprise yourself.

Answer 3

Do elevated push-ups to devolope more upper body power,also do bench presses,hindu push-ups,squats and most importantly,eat lots of protein before contest and hype yourself up before trying,hyping yourself up physcially and mentally is the most important step.
