Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Seriously.

Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.

Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.

If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.

While I don’t recommend giving up sleep for a week and doing thousands of pushups (unless you have a thing for broken bones and screwed up joints), I challenge you to create your own Hell Week.
