. His goal by the end: Crank out 100 unbroken pushups. At first, Symmonds struggles: After just one day, his chest is so sore that he decides to come up with a plan, breaking the pushups into small increments spread throughout the day, rather than all at once, with the goal of making the workouts less agonizing.
By day seven, things don’t seem to be getting much better, but as Symmonds says, “I guess I have to remind myself that sometimes when you’re doing these things, it gets harder before it’s easier,” recalling that he used to see a similar effect with his running workouts. Over the next three weeks, he tries to scale his pushups higher—aiming for 30 sets of 10 throughout the day.
After one final push, it’s time for the big reveal: Symmonds manages to add a modest amount of mass to his left bicep , but none to his right. As for his chest, he sees more impressive gains of two inches, putting him at 51. Finally, with thousands of pushups now behind him, he tries to make good on his original goal of 100 broken pushups. Watch the video above to see if he succeeds.
