lateral raises
leg raises

Im doing either doing 4x8 or 3x10 im not sure yet, except on push ups i'll be doing 4x30.......
 
If you can do 30 push ups how about adding some weight to them somehow??

Also how about adding some squats to workout A?
 
i want to be able to do more push ups than i can right now, so adding weight would make me stronger yes, but i want more endurance. and i read from many pages that you should split deads and squats because theyare very taxing. what kind of rep/set should i use? i was leaning towards 4x8....
 
Somebody once told me 13-15 is best to increase your endurance but I personally don't believe that is true. I'm not sure what is best for endurance in terms of reps.

I would imagine so yes, but I would wait for somebody else to confirm that before just taking my word for it. But to me it makes sense that by doing weighted pushups it will help you do more without weight.
 
Not really, I can do a ****load of weighted push ups, but even unweighted theres a certain limit i can't break. Weighted just makes you stronger, didn't help me do more unweighted push ups.
 
There you go then sgt it may not actually work that way lol.
I just don't see how doing 30 pushups is challenging the body enough to make it adapt though.

Have you had a search on here to see if there are any other threads on increasing endurance??
 
Another option is to break the pushup into segments, i.e. go halfway down, hold for 2 seconds, all the way down then hold for 2 seconds, halfway up and hold for two seconds then all the way up etc etc...

I am sure you wont do 30 then! Plus it puts a bigger strain on the muscle which is what you want.
