Master Jhoon Rhee is a real role model, indeed, who walks the walk as well as talking the talk! 1,000 pushups a day at 75 years young of age! He has inspired this youngster, a young 68 years of age, to emulate him, and in time to do 1,000 pushups a day. I am now holding for awhile at 500 per day, six sets of 50 reps. Whenever I feel that I'm not up to doing my routine, I just go to Youtube, and there I see Master Rhee knocking out 100 pushups like it is child's play! This inspires me to keep on going towards my goal.

Bob,

The image of him appeared in my forehead while pushing them out last month, as if he where watching. I will be up to 400 per day by the end of the month, but see in the near future that the shirts I wear will no longer fit, the belt needing another notch made. Many trainers suggest a day off for recovery. Hmmm. I have found that my metabolism is in high gear. I'm into boiled a beets. I love beets and drink the water it is boiled in. Enjoy its natural sweetness for lunch, cold or warm. I juice carrots, apples, celery, and beets as well - a glass for first breakfast . There is truth to Master Rhee's diet, heavy in vegetables, - not too much meat - that encourages the body to rebuild. I am trying to discover away to motivate my self first thing in the morning though. The stiffness doesn’t wear off till an hour or so pass. Then by mid morning I'm ready to push them out.

Master Rhee is truly amazing, not only can he do 100 pushups consecutively with ease, he can do ten sets of 100 or 1,000 per day!

I have been doing my pushups daily, but I know what you mean, a lot of my friends and trainers that I know advise me to do them every other day, as they feel doing high numbers daily will lead to burnout and overtraining, as well as joint problems down the road. But for me, so far so good, I feel fine.
