Pyramid Push Up Routine

Have you ever tried famous military scheme called ''the pyramid push up routine''? Most of you will think that this is some sort of a push up variation but actually this is an excellent workout routine which will gradually improve your maximum push up reps. Here is how it works:

Start with 1single push up and when you do it stand up like for a jumping jack and then do another 2 push ups and so on. When you reach the top of the pyramid (10 pushups) take a 30-60 seconds break and start going down the pyramid.

You can apply that schema to any exercise you want like chin ups or pull ups and you can ''play'' with the numbers so for ex. if you are, let's say, on an intermediate fitness level then you can start your routine with 5 push ups and see where this goes. Have fun!
