What is a good starting weekly goal for pushups and chin ups homework? I have been weight training consistently for over a year and can do at least one set of 25+ pushups and at least one set of 12 pullups. I could probably do 50 of each a day, but I don't know if I should start that high along with the weight training
50-60 a day of pushups in sets of 10-12
30 a day chins in sets of 4-5
All sets should be easy as hell.
Oh and 300g protein for is not that much for most guys. Martin berkham and Dante trudal have both posted plenty of studies showing why 3g/bw in kg up to 2* bw in lbs has substantial benifits. That's on top of the diet induced thermogenesis cause by protein.

Thanks. That's what I was wondering about. I was doing sets of 15 pushups and 10 chinups yesterday. I'll cut back on the reps and increase the frequency.

Like most things, it may work for certain people. I've seen a lot more research that shows anything more than 1.5 g of protein per pound just ends up getting burned as a less efficient form of energy and expelled in the urine. I do well to get 150-200g a day with food, but I don't use powders or anything.
At 148, I might not be maximizing my gains with that protein intake, but personally I don't want to spend my day trying to pack in extra protein with powders and shakes. I wonder how well those studies control for fat and caloric intake. Many high protein foods also are high in fats and calories which would also help get the most out of workouts and recovery, especially for large framed guys. I'll check them out when I have some time.
Thanks for the thread and info by the way. You put a lot of time into this. The rationale behind the training makes a lot of sense from both a physiological and psychological standpoint. I'm hoping this will push me past the plateau I've been on for the past few months.

Already got my pushups done for the day. I'll have to do double chins tomorrow, because I don't have a bar at work, and I have my first weight training workout tonight.

What if you are doing the burpees?
