Hey Raynor, I have a 2 minute pushup test at school next friday I believe, I'm currently at 63 pushups in 2 minutes, I want to try to get in one workout or maybe 2 between now and then to hopefully beat my last test as significantly as possible which was 59, any tips for how I should go about these pushup specific workouts? Should I just do 2 minutes of pushups like the test itself or should I do multiple sets?
Unfortunately one week in advance is not really enough time to improve your pushups. The only thing I could suggest is for today for you to do as many reps of pushups as possible into 5 separate sets spread out by an hour each time.
So ...each hour, do a failure set of pushups.
On the day of the test, wear an under armour or other compression style shirt (this helps). Make sure you drink plenty of water and get enough sleep. You should be able to bang out a couple more without incident.
