Hey guys it's Jared from Fight 4 Life and today I'm going to show you how you can smash your chest and be feeling results for days in this extremely simple 4 minute chest workout.

So this is actually one of the tests that I use for all of my clients during their fitness testing, and still love to have a go myself, just to keep track of where I am in regards to muscular endurance.

So we're doing a 4 minute Max push up test so you are going to need the following items. Stop watch or countdown timer, a chest to administer some pain and growth to, and the desire to not be known as a little bitch…

So what I would recommend is to knock out as many Reps as possible in the first hit, as your muscles will fill up with lactic acid as soon as you rest after your first attempt. You are allowed to stop as many times as you need, and it's a really good idea to shake your arms out in order to release some of the built up waste from your muscles. Continue until the end of the 4 minutes and then you will have your score.

If you cannot do more than 15 pushups in one hit, then you may attempt this on your knees, but only use your knees for this test until you are getting above 80 reps for the 4 minutes. After this it is time to step it up with the big boys and do proper push ups.

After completing this push up challenge, you are to expect some muscle soreness as you've just done them a world of good, and they'll need to repair. You can expect improvements in your muscular endurance within your chest, triceps, and core, and obtain yourself a benchmark that you can use in a couple of months to be able to track your own progress.

So pretty much what you need to do is set your timer for 4 minutes, bust out as many pushups as humanly possible, and then recover as you grow.

So now I challenge you to take on this challenge, so go and video yourself attempting your own 4 minute push up test, upload your video to youtube or facebook, and share the video URL to the comments section below and I can't wait to see your efforts.

So that's it for this week, next week I'll be taking you through an awesome 300 Rep Spartan Kettle Bell Challenge so make sure you tune in for that one. Until then, My name's Jared, have a fantastic week and I look forward to talking to you soon. Take care and Stay Motivated.
