What Happens to Your Body When You Do 100 Push-Ups a Day

Push-ups are effective and simple, which is why they’re always a part of various workout programs. But have you ever wondered what truly happens to your body if you perform, say, 100 push-ups daily?
Will it improve your posture?
Or perhaps, will you overtrain your muscles?
Let’s find out in this video, so make sure to stick around until the end.

In a nutshell:

You get high endurance
Completing 100 push-ups will boost the number of blood vessels supplying the muscle with blood and nutrients.
This is massively beneficial, as it results in you having more energy and endurance during the exercise itself, and better recovery afterward.
The truth is endurance is also affected by the efficiency of your limbs and muscles.
How well supplied are these muscles with blood and nutrients?
Thus, high reps of push-ups will definitely build strength and endurance in your chest and arms.

Your core becomes stronger
In essence, the push-up is an anti-extension move like the plank.
When performing it properly, your core must stay flat and keep it from sagging.
Over long sets of push-ups, this becomes an endurance challenge, training you to keep a rigid core.
In turn, it helps prevent back pain and translates into more powerful and explosive moves.

Your muscle stretching is better
Another great benefit of doing push-ups, albeit usually overlooked or forgotten by some, is the stretch it provides to the biceps and back muscles.
When lowering yourself to the floor, your back muscles are stretched.
Likewise, as you push yourself to the initial position, your biceps get into a full stretch.
Ultimately, it improves your flexibility and creates a solid and attractive appearance.

Your physique significantly changes
Ever noticed how push-ups are recommended in different weight loss workout plans?
Yes, that’s because this exercise promotes the burning of calories.
As a result, you lose weight faster and safely.
Also, you will see changes in your arms, chest, and core muscles.
There might also be a good increase in your upper body muscle tone.

Your posture improves
Posture-wise, doing 100 push-ups a day will help correct poor posture.
This is especially beneficial for people who spend most of their time sitting.
The exercise activates and strengthens the core muscles, allowing for a better posture.

You risk overtraining your chest and triceps
Ask yourself this, “are 100 reps of push-ups hard for you”?
If yes, then your muscles will need a ton of recovery afterward.
To get the most out of your training, you should let your muscles recover for at least 48 hours.
If you keep on pushing yourself, you won’t just overtrain them but might also injure yourself.

You may have a muscular imbalance
Newbie or not, focusing only on one type of exercise is not the best idea if your goal is to get overall muscle development.
A good workout program involves targeting all major muscle groups to ensure a functional balance.
Push-ups work the anterior part of the body, so your back is left untrained.

I’m 66 years old and I’ve been doing 100 (50, 25, 25) every day for 5 years. My chest looks just as good as it did in my 20s.

[spaaaaace]

Pushups single-handedly got me back in shape, gave me muscles, and hyped me up to exercise more. I love pushups.

[encounterwithlife]

If your reading
This, I wish you achieve your body goals soon:))

I’ve been doing 100 to 150 push-ups a day as well as crunches and walking for 3 months now I’m seeing slow gains but I’m getting there.

[nathanshierd]

Jeff would say that it's killing your gains.

[Joshua-csrb]

Something I see a lot of people do, including some of the people in this video, is they don’t keep there hands directly below the shoulders. They start in a correct initial position, but while they do reps, they slide back, flaring out their elbows, and putting a lot more strain on the shoulders. You want to keep your hands directly below your shoulders. It’s harder, and you’ll need to do less reps, but it is much better for reducing the risk of shoulder injury, and you’ll build the same amount, or maybe even more muscle mass in the triceps with less reps. Be careful when you do pushups. Always have good posture, even if you need to sacrifice reps.

I used to do 70 push ups per day. Even though I didnt have weights, my triceps and chest started to grow a little. I stopped doing it 3 years ago but I still have a decently wide chest. Unfortunately, my triceps disappeared but I'll start doing push ups again in the morning and let y'all know how it goes

Week 1: Slowly went from 30 to 60 push ups + 30 reps of weights all in sets of 15. Skipped 2 days but feel pretty good

Week 2: Skipped few days but added in leg exercises: 15 squats, 10*3 calf raises, and the normal 60 push ups and 30 reps of weights. Don't see any major change but feel stronger

Week 3: Same exercise but push ups in sets of 20 now. Friend at school actually told me I looked better and asked if I go the gym

You forgot to add the fact that you can’t just start doing 100 push ups a day casually, you need to build up to that. I use to be able to do 250 a day in 5 reps back to back when I joined football, but after a while when I stopped working out I barely did 100 a day with reps of 10-20. The key is consistency and not overdoing it. Slowly build up to how much you can do and eventually you’ll train yourself to do more than you thought you can, but remember once you’ve got it you can also lose it if you don’t keep working out

[cokebenni]

I haven’t watched the video yet but I’m just going to answer the title, you become one punch man

[ishanparbhakar]

Quality matters over quantity.
If you do 50 with good form that will be better.

[JadesFitnessBucketList]

im definitely going to be doing this challenge. i already train all of my muscles with pull ups, dips etc but tend to neglect push ups so interested to see any differences (or lack of) after 30 days

[zessentials]

Im 16 and I’ve been doing pushups mostly everyday for the past like 2-3 years its very beneficial and helps you with other workouts especially in the gym

[GreyDuck]

As someone who was very obese. Part of losing weight I started doing push ups. First 3 weeks I did 50 a day. Gradually then 100 a day. A month later, 100 in 30 mins. Just dieting, biking, and daily push ups. I dont have a gym membership and I dont bike everyday and I do have cheat days. But 1 thing is constant is that I do my daily push ups. I'm down 70lbs from 2 years ago.

I urge people to try doing push ups. It's the most simple workout with little cost, time, and effort. But the results are rewarding

[beaugeste]

To not fatigue & continue to train 5 or 6 days a week, do 5 or 10 push ups at a time over the day to a 100. The same with pull ups, squats & shoulder presses, you don't have to do each on the same day, do separately or do 2 body parts a day. I squeeze the muscles on the concentric, eccentric movements & relax at the bottom. I'm 61 & train this way, with footwork as cardio. l'm apparently as healthy & fit as a athletic 30 yo a health practitioner commented, l can still do what l could do in my 20's, l keep it simple & with less stress on joints, tendons & muscles, plenty of stretching as well, it works for me 👍🙏
