- What's up, guys?
I've made many videos on doing 100 pushups a day
and how it's really effective at improving your physique
as well as increasing your strength and your reps.
But is it really?
For the next seven days,
I'm gonna be doing 100 pushups every single day
and putting it to the test
to see if it'll increase or decrease my max pushups
in the end.
I haven't done this in a while,
so first, let's see what my max pushups are currently.
(dramatic music)
All right, so there we have it,
55 pushups, that's where we're at currently.
Let's see if that's gonna be more or less
at the end of these next seven days.
So my plan to increase my max pushup repetitions
over the next seven days is to increase my reps
within a set, two more than yesterday,
and decrease the amount of sets required
to complete 100 pushups, if possible.
For example, as a beginner,
you can do 10 sets of 10 to reach 100.
That's what my son did with me to reach 100 pushups.
And as you develop strength over time,
you can do five sets of 20, four sets of 25,
and eventually two sets of 50.
And I'll also be using my secret weapon,
the Heria weight vest.
I've been saying for the longest,
wearing a weight vest while doing calisthenics exercises,
you'll eventually get used to the weight
and increase your strength,
and when you take off the vest, you'll be flying.
So we'll be putting that to the test as well.
Got my weight vest on, this one's about 30 pounds,
and if you need a weight vest
to take your training to the next level,
you can pick one up at chrisheria.com.
We have all different colors, shapes,
and sizes for all fitness levels.
So I'm just gonna do four sets of 25 for day one.
All right, first set, let's get it.
And for every pushup to count,
I have to be using full range of motion
that's all the way up and all the way down.
And I don't want to increase my bad form pushup reps,
I want to increase my good form pushup reps.
That's why every single rep has to be perfect form.
Now I'm gonna go for three more sets
and I'll see you guys tomorrow.
(energetic hip hop music)
That's a wrap.
All right, day two, you know what time it is.
Yesterday, I did four sets of 25.
Remember, the goal is to increase the reps
and decrease the sets if possible.
So my goal for today,
the first set I gotta be able to do at least 34 pushups,
second set, 33, and the third set 33, totaling 100 pushups.
If I feel really comfortable
doing the 34 pushups on the first set,
maybe I'll do a little bit more
and even out the rest of the sets,
but let's see what we got.
(mellow hip hop music)
So this first set, I hit 40 reps.
I'm gonna do two sets of 30, totaling 100.
Let's do it.
So I'm actually really not that sore
from yesterday's 100 set,
but let's see how I'm gonna feel after this set,
and tomorrow morning.
(mellow hip hop music)
All right, there we have it, 100 pushups in three sets.
Now I'm definitely feeling it in my shoulders,
my chest, and my arms.
My side quest during these next seven days
is being able to do as many pushups
as I could the first day without the vest,
eventually with the vest on.
So if I maxed out at 55 pushups without the vest,
imagine how much stronger I'm gonna be
when I can max out 55 with the vest on.
I'll see you tomorrow.
(engine rumbling)
All right, I just arrived.
I appreciate all you guys for showing up.
Got some gifts and goodies for you guys.
Guys, these are from the new collection.
These are some of my favorite shirts of all time.
- Thank you so much, dude.
- Guys, I have one pass for tomorrow's Young LA Block Party.
You can't get this, this is all sold out,
this is the only way to get into the convention
and the party this weekend.
Last person with a jumping squat is gonna win it.
All right, here we go.
We got some Thenx beasts out here.
- Come on, keep going!
- Manjoo's the winner.
- Yo, what's up!
- I actually want to give it to Riz.
- Whatever you want.
I mean, it's yours now.
- He waited for you for the whole day.
- He's your biggest fan, Chris!
- (indistinct) tomorrow? - Yes, sir.
- That's so nice of you.
(upbeat hip hop music)
- Finally just got back to our hotel.
It's been a long day.
And now, let's finally get these 100 pushups in.
Today's day three and this may be the day that I regress.
For my first set, I'm gonna do as many pushups as I can
and then that will determine how many reps I'll do
in the next sets to equal 100 pushups.
(melancholy piano music)
You think that's 40?
- [Camera Man] 39. - 39.
40, let's go.
10 more.
(melancholy piano music)
45.
That's where I was at yesterday, right?
- [Camera Man] Yep.
Or forty something like that.
Let's do five more.
(melancholy piano music)
That's not too bad.
We did more than we did yesterday again.
But the endurance is definitely increasing.
Just a couple seconds, we hit 50 weighted pushups
versus day one I maxed out 55 pushups without weight
and the strength and physique gains, the pump,
and the effective workout that you can get
in such a short amount of time, just a couple minutes.
Wearing a weight vest is insane.
Look how much progress we've made in just a couple days.
I highly recommend you pick one up for yourself
at chrisheria.com.
Now let's finish off the rest of our 100 pushups
with two sets of 25 each.
I didn't even feel the strongest today and we got to 50.
That's a good sign.
(intense music)
Just flying through 25 reps like it's nothing.
One more set to go.
All right, last set of 25.
Let's get it.
Oh, this feels a lot easier.
(intense music)
One for good luck.
Two more.
I did over 100 pushups.
Some days could just be weighted pushups as a whole workout.
My shoulders are pumped to my arms, my chest,
and even my abs.
Let's keep this going and see where we end up.
I'll see you on day four.
What's up, brother?
(upbeat hip hop music)
- Hey, I'm subbed to your YouTube!
I'll show you, right here, right here, I'm subbed, bro!
- Let's (beep) go!
Show that shit to the camera.
- Aye, I'm subbed!
Aye, sub to Chris Heria right now!

- What a long day.
It was really cool meeting all of you guys.
We gotta do that a lot more often.
If you wanna know more about my events,
just make sure you're following me on Instagram.
That's where I post it first.
And now let's get into this.
We got a mission to do.
Today's half way, day four.
The goal is to do at least 55 pushups,
which is basically how much I maxed
without the weight vest on day one.
Let's get into it
Then I'm gonna head to bed.
(bright electronic music)
40.
Let's get to 51.
(bright electronic music)
Two more.
One for good luck 'cause I always do more.
There we go, 56 pushups with the weight vest.
One more than I did without the weight vest on day one.
We are making gains, baby.
All right, I'm gonna finish with just two more sets.
I'm either gonna do 30, 15 or 25, 20.
What's that?
- [Camera Man] 27.
- 30.
All right.
I don't know, I could've probably done the whole thing.
Whatever, I'll just finish these 15 right now.
(upbeat hip hop music)
Nice and clean.
All right, that's 100.
Let's get this day started.
All I've been doing it all day,
'cause I've been so busy.
Just 100 pushups every single day.
I haven't even really worked out
in the past two, three days.
So just doing these weighted 100 pushups a day
is maintaining my physique
and it literally only takes like two minutes.
And now that I've passed my max
with the weight vest on, I'm really curious
and excited to see where I'm gonna be on the last day.
Another reason why this is so effective
is because we're utilizing progressive overload,
which has already been proven to build strength and muscle.
Even though I'm doing 100 reps every single day,
the first set is always increasing the reps.
As you can see, it's actually working.
I'm with my boy Brandon, let's head on inside.
You guys ready?
Dude, yesterday was slammed and we were swarmed, bro.
It was (beep) crazy.
- I support him so much.
He has helped me a lot doing no weights,
but just pure pull-ups and dips.
- Nobody's ever motivated me
to like make my life better than you.
- What, that's pretty awesome.
- And especially being in college now,
it's like a big change.
And you're like, would be the first person I would think of
whenever I would like hit a roadblock in life.
- His content was the reason that I got into working out
at seventh grade.
Like, you know, I wanted to get a personal trainer,
get into UFC. - [Chris] Seventh grade?
- Seventh grade, I'm 21 right now, dude.
But literally you were the reason single-handed.
I walked past here, I was like,
oh, my God, there's no way that's Chris Heria.
- All right, that's a wrap, let's get outta here quick.
All right, that's gonna wrap up
the last day of the block party.
Thank you to all of you guys that showed up.
We really shut that place down.
I know it was a really short notice last minute thing.
If we had more time to promote me,
it would've been even crazier.
But I can't thank you guys enough.
Hearing all your stories, getting to meet all of you guys
and it just motivates me even more
to keep making these videos and go harder
and that's what I'm about to do right now.
Today's day five of 100 pushups.
We gotta do at least 55 pushups,
which is what we did yesterday.
And my goal for day seven when we finally take off this vest
is to do 100 pushups in a row.
You guys are inspiring me today.
So let's just go for these 100 pushups.
I need some music for this.
(uplifting electronic music)
- [Camera Man] 49.
52.
55.
(lively music)
- All right, that was it.
How much was that?
- [Camera Man] 59.
- 59.
I thought I did 60, bro.
(beep)
Whatever.
That just shows that we're gonna do it even better tomorrow.
All right, let's finish off these reps
in the least amount of sets possible.
41 to go.
(lively music)
Let's go, 41.
See you tomorrow.
All right, day six, let's get these 100 pushups in.
I gotta hit at least 60 pushups on my first set.

All right, two more than yesterday.
I expected to do a little more, but I'm happy with that.
I'll see you guys tomorrow for the final results.

38, 100 pushups total.
We're gonna finish day seven back in Miami.
All right, so it's officially been seven days.
When I first started this on day one,
I maxed out on 55 pushups.
Every day after that, I used a weighted vest
and progressive overload,
increasing my max amount of pushups
in my first set each day and decreasing the amount of sets
to complete the 100 pushups.
And I had a mini goal to eventually be able
to do the same amount of reps that I maxed out with,
55 without the vest, with the vest on.
And we crushed that goal in just a couple of days.
Now that it's day seven,
let's see where I'm finally at with my max pushups.
(active electronic music)
(lively music)
101 pushups in a single set in just seven days
using a weight vest and progressive overload.
Just increasing the first set
and decreasing the amount of sets
to do 100 pushups each day.
So there you have it, I went from 55 pushups
to 101 pushups in like six, seven days.
So start doing 100 pushups a day,
start using progressive overload
and get yourself a weight vest to expedite the process.
Pictures up at chrisheria.com.
We have different colors and sizes
for all athletes and different fitness levels.
And start training smarter, not necessarily harder.
As you can see,
we just did 100 pushups every single day.
We just increased the first working set
using progressive overload, and of course the weight vest
to increase our overall max reps.
And this extra pushing power is only gonna translate
into every other pushing exercise that I do,
like the full planche pushup, handstand pushup,
90 degree handstand pushups, and so much more.

This is gonna be a really exciting series.
Let me know what you wanna see me do it with next.
I'll see you guys next Thursday
while I'll be continuing my body transformation vlog,
showing you the update on my pushing strength,
