Heres is a step by step outline of how someone may feel when doing this routine.
First deck
You'll have a big EGO and most likely rep them out senselessly thinking that push ups ain't shiet.Naturaly you'll get winded and want to quit by the 12-15th card.No biggie,every big headed dope does the same thing.You'll either quit or make up excuses of why you don't need to do them and go lift weights.No problems with that,but thanks for trying.
OR
You'll be smart enough to do them as you flip the card,comfortably at first..thinking to yourself..no sweat, I can do this..afterall they are only push ups.Then by the 20th card you will notice that they are becoming increasingly harder and harder.You maintain a constant effort but still doing so without getting winded.You notice that this is taking more and more effort and because you haven't rep them out like an idiot fueled by EGO you notice that your muscles are becoming increasingly pumped and you feel stronger.As the cards flip through you begin to feel soo pumped that you can't even move,but you do it anyways.You become tired and now winded,and it's taking more and more effort to do the next card.You rest,take a breather and then go on.Until the whole deck is done.When you are finaly done with the deck..that's where the real effect of the deck takes place..but I'll let you all experiance that on your own :rockon:
The next day you will be pretty sore..maybe soo sore you can't even move depending on your fitness level.You're not gonna want to move let alone do another push up.But it's vital that they are to be done.Because here's what is happening to your body.. you are experiancing a type of shock to the system,stimulation that's soo different from merely lifting weights for low reps or any other excersize you are doing.It's vital that you continue even if it feels like the muscle fibers are going to detach from your bones.It's all a part of a delicate process thats taking place,any modifications to the routine will screw it up. This is both an anabolic and cataboic state but it's a good stress.
Since you are not lifting heavy you do not zap your central nervous system though you are fatiguing your muscles it dosen't directly cause overtraining of the overall system.You'll be sore as heck,but that's the point.
You may feel extremly sore for the next 3 days but take in the weight gainer after as a post workout and you will notice that in about a weeks time, you will be noticably bigger then you once were.Not just bigger but more cut up and your entire upper body will be pretty pumped.
Will this blow you up overnight? NO
Is it an direct replacement for weights? NO
Can you still lift weights? Go for it
If you're repping them out and get winded then rest for 5 minutes between cards then rep them out and get winded again..you're not doing them right.
If you do half the deck and then rest ,then finish it off..you're not doing it right.
If you get winded and using speed as momentum..you are not doing it right.
You must do them as specificaly stated or else you will NOT reap the full benefits of the routine.
