Can You Do Hindu Pushups Several Times a Day?
Dear Friend,
Today I'm going to answer one of those frequently
asked questions as well as one that is "less" frequently asked -
but darn good.
Many people write to ask me whether or not they can
do the exercises in Combat Conditioning on a daily
basis. My answer is the same today as it was five
years ago, when the first edition came out.
Yes.
"But in weight training they say ...."
Yes, I understand what they say in weight training. We're
not talking about that. We're talking about Combat Conditioning,
and ... just like gymnastics, it can be done daily.
You can choose to do it two or three times a week if you'd
like. Or you can do it everyday. I believe you get optimum
results when you do something everyday. Some days you
do a hard workout. Other days you go light - but you do
something everyday.
Now, with that in mind, let's look at an email from a man who
lives in the "Windy City."
Hello Matt,
My name is Richard Ramirez and i have a couple of questions
for you. First I purchased your Combat Conditioning package
and I love it. My question is can I do the Royal Court more than
once per day? Or can I do Hindu squats throughout the day before
or after the Royal Court? I am currently up to 50 Hindu Squats and
15 hindu push ups and I wall walk for three times almost touching
my chest to the wall. Do you think that this will slow me down because
I train the same exercise throughout the day?

M.F. Richard, the answer is "yes." Here's the deal: When first starting
out with the Royal Court, your maximum repetitions are not very high
on any of the main exercises. So one of the ways to build up strength
and endurance is doing a set of Hindu Pushups or Hindu squats - or
both - several times a day. It does not have to be a maximum rep
set. In fact, tis better if it's just a good push. If every hour on the
hour you do 10 Hindu pushups and 25 Hindu squats - and you do this eight
times during the day, you've increased the overall workload and you
will improve. This is one of those secrets Karl Gotch taught me when I
started. Key thing is that you don't max out each day. Just train and
enjoy the journey and go for a maximum goal a couple times a month.
You'll find this method quickly accelerates your progress.
Well, my friend, that's all for now.

P.S. Someone asked me about strengthening their hands and wrists
when they're hurt. My answer is do the same exercises in my Carpal
Tunnel Fix program - for information on that go to
