100 push ups one set

[Rodel]

So is there any advice to how I can attain this in a week? I can currently do 65-70 straight but I'm leaving for the military in a week so I wanna get to the hundred mark by then. Help?

Why 100??
Push ups are a pretty easy exercise to improve just simply by doing more of them. If hitting 100 is your goal, then you are not far off if you are hitting 75.
What branch anyway??

Well, if you only have one week, or that is your goal, then I might be inclined (especially if you have been training them!?) to lay off them and then try a rep PR in a week or so totally fresh.
Maybe jumping in real fresh and rested, while perhaps not giving you another 25!?, may give you a bump of some kind.

Thanks guys, I'm actually joining the airforce as a combat controller. So I wanna be able to be ahead of the rest once I'm in cause CCT is no joke

how is your overall endurance? Cardio, muscular endurance, the whole shebang?? You're gonna need a lot more than push-ups in your bag of tricks bud!!

My mile and a half is 9:35. Swim 500 meters in 10:04. 16 full pull-ups, 70 push ups (2 mins.), and 80 sit-ups in 2 mins. I'm decent, and I already passed my test in front of the major. So I just really wanna be able to hit that hundred mark

Those are some pretty good #'s! How are you paying out the push-ups? Are you saving energy or going balls out 100%? If you pace out 55-60 for minute one, maybe you'll have enough gas left on minute 2.

That's probably where I mess up, I go balls out the first minuet and then struggle with a plank hold and burst of three until the two minuets are complete, maybe ill try pacing myself this time

I think 100 push ups are very hard to do in one set. It depends on us that how much we want to do push ups and can do in one set. However push ups are good exercise for strength.

I had this same goal about three years ago. I got there using an iphone app called "Pushup Fu" which is a program designed to get the user to a set of 100 consecutive pushups. Freaking brutal and will never go through that again! Definitely a great app though if 100 is your goal.
