Not the OP, but the method that worked for me when I was training for the military years ago was to (situation permitting) drop down and do five push ups every half hour for most of the day. Do that for a week, then the next week add five more. In a few weeks you’re doing 20-30 push ups every half hour and the maximum you become capable of doing if you have to take a fitness test goes through the roof.

- melling 7y agoHas anyone tried it? I believe you want to try for 50% of maximum. The technique is discussed here for pushups. http://www.100pushups.com/greasing-the-groove/ http://www.100pushups.com/greasing-the-groove/
