pushup for military test

[ruffnready]

I have a military test in 50 days , to get a very good grade I have to do
70 pushups
100 situps
20 pullups
run 3 miles in 15 min


anybody knows a good technic to increase my pushups?
some of my friends told me to quit doing push exercise(like bensh press, shoulder press ect...) so I dont overtrain the muscle and keep the strenght for the pushups.

What kind of test is this for if you don't mind me asking?? Even thou it isn't right some higher ups might just be telling you that you need these scores to pass just to give you motivation to make sure you do get the score you really need.
If you need help with your pushups I suggest doing different kinds of elevated pushups and a ton of diamonds.. Also doing dips w/o any weight for endurance using a few chairs that you have laying around..

Its all about endurance, and what I read above, dont worry about over-training in pushups/situps/pullups

Also, that book stated above, I have it too, and its an excellenct book, wether military or just wanna get in shape, that book will turn you into a robot.

Do the pushups/situps/pullups everyday, and run 3 miles 3 days a week, and slowly increase the miles each week or 2.

Back when I ran cross country, I did 3 in 14:48, yeah, it is hell, but at some point, when people think its "endurance", it really becomes mind over matter.

Good luck with it all buddy, and stay strong, mentally and physically...
