1000 Reps?

Does 1000 reps seem feasible? Not in one workout but in 1 week.

If you are not an experienced weight lifter, I urge you to pass on this article. This is only for someone who is experienced and maybe wants to get past a plateau or is looking for a challenge. All others need not apply and I'm very serious about that.

About 15 years ago I made a New Year's resolution that I was going to do 50,000 push ups that year. Well I did it but it was awfully tough and I swore I'd never do anything like that again. And I won't. I don't have a desire at my age to try this type of challenge again.

But I am an affiliate of Vince (I get a commission selling his products) and he has excellent products, so I decided to at least pass this on as I know there are many experienced body builders who visit here and may not have heard of this and just might be intrigued. I have a few of Vince's workouts so am always interested in seeing his newest ideas.

I do something maybe similar which is to extend my reps throughout the day. That way I end up with a lot of reps (not 1000 :-)) by the end of the day. I have a perfect pull up bar in my doorway and on my pull up days, I start with 5 sets of as many as I can perform. Then as the day goes by I might go up there another 8 or 10 times and knock out as many reps as possible. By the end of the day my arms and shoulders and back are screaming for mercy.

I know it works. I'm just not sure there are many out there who can do this and this is NOT meant to entice you to buy the product. It's just to get your mind thinking that maybe you can come up with some new challenges in your workouts.
