Today I wanted to see if I could do 500 reps each for pushups, rows and squats. That's really a lot when you start to think about it. I shot for sets of 25 of each with less than strict form. I ended up with 325 reps for each exercise. That's 975 total reps. Volume.
Pushup: 30, 25, 20, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25
Squat: 20, 25, 30, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25
Row: 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25
This was tough and daunting. I think it's an extreme version of the full day muscle blast. I wouldn't recommend you do it very often. But we'll see what the effect is. Herschel Walker claims to do several thousand pushups a day and I wonder how that is even possible.
Doing this as made me become more interested in form versus volume. I bet I could get a much better workout on many many fewer reps if I focus on form.
