Ok, guys. who here can say they can do 100 Hindu squats followed by 100 Hindu Pushups.

I can. In the month of September, I performed 100 Hindu push ups. In the month of October, I performed 100 hindu squats.

Sadly, even that is not true.

I was doing that for a while (in a day, but not in one set). I'd do 20 of each in 5 sets. I'd love to be able to say that i could do 100 hindu pushups in a row, the squats I can easily manage to do 100.

hello,

I really hope this doesn't sound bad, but yes, I can do 100 hindu push-ups followed by 100 hindu squats. Yes, those are each in one set.

Take care,

Matt

Mattman,

You are the man!!! I can do about 40-50 and I am gassed. way to go.

I dont know if this counts, but today I was pressed for time so I did 1 set of 300 reps of the hindu squat, followed by 4 sets of 25 reps of the hindu push-ups, followed by 4 sets of pull-ups for 12- 9- 7- 6 repsand got it all done in 45 minutes, my problem is I want to increase my hindu push-up reps in my sets, but I just run out of gas, my shoulders seemed fried. any tips would be great, so I hope I might qualify for the 100-100 club.

I can do the squats but not the push-ups. But I think will start training to do 100 hindu push-ups. I would be a good goal. All the best everyone.

Joe do you use sets or count straight through? :highfive::dazed:

Maybe we can all count to 100 one day! :act-up:

I had to take a break at about 47 and go on-line to look up which number came next. But after that, I went straight on trough to 100!!! :highfive:

The reason I say this is because, in my humble opinion, that SHOULD BE the core of your bodyweight training accomplishments. I feel if you can't do that don't waste time doing other movements because those 2are HIGHLY productive. Once you master 100 Hindus, THEN you can branch off doing other things like DVR's, etc. Again, only my opinion.

Eeeh, I gotta disagree with you there, Mark. :thinking: l agree that those two exercises are extremely beneficial and yield great results and I agree that a goal of 100 of each in a single set is a good one. I think DSRs, DVRs, Isometrics and all of the other Power Cals deliver great development and strength. But more importantly, they're fun! I think just doing two moves day in and day out would be far too boring to stick with.

I really enjoy integrating all of the protocols into my workout routine.

Two summers ago I got where I could do 100 Tiger pushups followed by 100 Tiger Squats. I did this daily for about five months followed by the Tiger moves. Periodically I still test myself and so far I can still do both of those, although it is a push if you don't do them regularly.

Perhaps it was a knock off from my twenty rep squat days or perhaps purely in the genes, but I was getting too barrell chested and big in the stomach from all the deep breathing. I didn't start dropping inches from around the waist until I replaced those two movements as regular staples. That was my experience, but others will certainly differ in how they respond to those two exercises.

[marktb]

Greg, I feel the same but they GAVE YOU THE CORE OF TRUE STRENGTH. I never said continually only do those 2. Its damn hard work and I think that's part of the reason most people have a hard time achieving that goal.

Of course if you watch the Trinity of Fitness DVD you'll see JP is in the 300/300 club. :O

[Hopeful]

I truly want to do 100 Hindu push ups in one set but my best so far is 60. I always get side tracked with all the other push up variations like the Warrior T's. But I believe all the exercise types work together so hopefully one day 100 Hindu push ups in one set.

Hi Mark,

I'd have to say they laid the foundation for what came later. 100 reps are mentally tough and require a great deal of focus. Doing the high reps in those two exercises changed something in my mental makeup. It clicked for me as what John's system is truly all about and set the pattern for success in reaching other goals.

I can do 100 squats followed by 100 push ups, but not Hindu push ups due to an old shoulder injury.

Welcome back Mark. Haven't seen you around for a while. Have you got a pair of Power T's yet? If not, you really should. I think you would really enjoy them.

Same story, I can do the squats but i have never trained for high rep hindu pushups.

[Greg Newton]

Hey Guys,

I want to reiterate this point. After a time, the deep breathing from the pushups and squats were making my chest too big and along with a huge chest, the abdomen has a tendency to be large. However, there are several reasons behind this. One is my individual genetics. Second was my prior training history of ten years or more of 20-rep squats with a barbell which already set the foundation for big chest, big gut, and big butt. Third is a hietal hernia that restricted my breathing, hence the greater tendency to build a large chest to compensate.

I think Tiger Stretch pushups and Tiger Squats are excellent exercises, but I reached a point where I felt I would benefit by moving in a different direction for my individual training goals. I think these two movements done in high repetitions are a good starting off point for most people. They also set the foundation for the things I now do.
