My usual weightlifting such as bench press is much less reps. I'm typically doing 5-10 reps.
As previously stated I do extras here and there but it’s about the daily discipline and not so much about gaining strength. Unless it’s a regular routine and high volume push-ups aren’t a great way to increase strength. While I’d like to be stronger, I’m plenty strong physically and mentally. As the saying goes, “Direction is more important than speed.” My daily habits have me going in the right direction, and that’s my intent.
