Okay, I am trying to get up to that 100 pushups mark (where you can do 100 straight pushups). I know that is a decent amount of muscular endurance for the arm muscles. However, I also want to be able to strength train good.
So my question is, should I train one, then the other, switching back and forth every few weeks? I read in an article by Pavel, where he says to rotate weight training with pushups every two weeks (so two weeks weights then two weeks pushups and so forth). Should I do that to "simulatenously" build strength and endurance in my arms, or can one do pushups and weight training pretty much at the same time and still get results for both?
According to Pavel in his article, if you do both it will confuse the body, but I mean I am sure people like Army Rangers and so forth (guys with large physiques) are also plenty capable of lots of pushups, so I am sure they must both weight train and do pushups and other calisthenics all the time.
But then again, I am no Ranger or elite soldier right now, so you get my drift I suppose. Any help appreciated. At the moment, I am just following the "two weeks pushups/two weeks weights" method at the moment. But I love weight training, so if I can still do it all the time (and get results), I'd like to.
