you could start by doing sets of push ups and pull ups ie 10 x 10 then cut the rest periods down between the sets until you eventually end up doing your target.
the other way you could go is to do as many sets of 10 as you can but continue until you do all 10 sets ie 5 x 10, 1 x 9, 1 x8 etc add a rep to each set every workout until you hit your target.
the other way is to grease the groove, do submax sets throughout the day altering work load on a daily basis ie for the pull ups you may do sets of 5 on the hour then the next day do sets of 3 on the hour the third day only do a couple of sets the back to sets of 5 etc until you build the strength and stamina to hit you target.
Here you go that should keep you going for a while, I use all 3 methods to bust my training depending on what cycle I am on. I am GTGing on OAPU and used this method on pistols.
Have a good un, cheers John Murphy :wink:

im curious...how would my body respond if i were to do say one set of pullups or pushups to failure every waking hour in my day? would that have any significance on my one set maximum reps...or would it hinder my progress? :?
No failure

you dont do them to failure, you must always stop at least two reps short of that and remain fresh whilst training, if you start getting to tired back off and have an easy day. Build up to it, I was only giving examples in my previous post.
Do 10x10, then 5x20, 4x25 etc until you hit the 100 that youre after.
If you are training to failure all the time burnout looms very quickly.
Hope this helps some.
Cheers John Murphy :wink:
