Around the internet, that means something along the lines of "Good job" or "I give you credit", etc.

But it's also a good training technique. (Now that I've learned more, I'll specify that it's good for muscular endurance)

Right now, choose a bodyweight exercise(s) that you want to improve, preferrably one(s) you can already do a decent amount of times.

Lets say you choose push-ups.
Find out your limit.

Let's say you can do 30 push-ups for your limit.

The idea is simple. Do one more each day.

So, tomorrow, do 31. The day after, do 32. etc, etc.

Your body can handle it, and your mind knows your body can, so it's an attainable goal.

Before you know it, you'll be pushing your limit and (now that I know) increasing the endurance of your muscles.

Just a little tip I'd like to throw at you guys.

By limit, I didn't mean until failure. I meant close to. More like...a safe limit rather than your actual limit So, think of it as going one under you could do until you fail.

Sorry bout that, didn't mean to make that confusing. xD

Erm..What's the ammount of push-ups you do on a regular basis/If you were to just drop down and do some push-ups, enough to challenge you, but not really risk failure?

Awww that's a caring thing to do for your team members. =D

Okay, after thoroughly reading Steve's workout routine guide, I realized that yes, going to failure is acceptable when working for endurance. That's what this is.

So, when you first start, go to your failure. Let's say, for example, you got 27. That's all you have to worry about this particular workout/training technique for that day.
Then, the next day, do 28. Again, that's all you have to worry about for this particular workout.
The day after that, do 29, and so on.
Even on a rest day it's still good to keep this up to help make sure you stay on track and constantly, slowly, progressively, push your limit.
Obviously, if you're doing other workouts/physical activity (and you should), two things could result from it.
1) Your muscles are tired because of the work you've done that day. If you don't make it to the number you're reaching... rest, try it later that day. If you don't make it at all the entire day, try that same number the next day, don't go up one.
2) You get stronger. If you realize 2-3 days in a row that, even though you're increasing the number by 1 every day, it's more than 1-2 reps from failure, it's a sign that you're not quite doing enough. So, the next day increase by 2 instead, and then if it feels like failure or 1 away from it, then you're back on track, and continue with 1 every day afterwards.

This is mainly an endurance-raising technique. But, like any work out, that doesn't mean that the strength gain switches off. It will still give somewhat of an increase in strength, too.

(Steve I need your clearance on this next statement)
If you were to do your exercise explosively (such as....let's say clap push-ups instead of push-ups, or jump squats instead of regular squats), it'll also add some power (fast twitch fibers) into it, while if you do it specifically slowly, it'll add to the slow twitch fibers more.


Hope this helps you guys. =D

It's not optimal to go to failure EVERY time, but generally yes going to failure with endurance is fine. Too much and you'll burn yourself out just like with strength.

Anyway, yeah. I'd say grease the groove but that works too.
