100 Pushups a Day
We all did the Atlas course so we're familiar with this concept. Atlas said to work up to 200 a day for a great chest. Here's 2 videos I found on this. The guy on the 30 day one is my favorite.

Re: 100 Pushups a Day
You notice his one week improvement. That is a line from CA too. 'Give me seven days .....' The one month improvement is good. Like every course or system out there they all say to give them 90 days, three months, or 12 weeks. They are all the same thing. With a new program that is where you see the fastest and most improvement. I'd love to see him continue with this for the 3 month period and see the results. Three months is when everyone hits a plateau. The thing you have to learn then is how to get past the plateau. It can be done. I really like this guy's honesty.
One thing to keep in mind though. To improve on this, besides push ups add chins, or body rows. The push movement needs a pull movement also. Otherwise you will get a muscle imbalance and develop back aches.

Re: 100 Pushups a Day
we get a lot of un-named guests here. no telling who they are. Bernie sanders might be one of them.
atlas said to do 200 dips a day. but his biography claimed he did 300 a day. I always plateaued around every 3 to 4 weeks.
