So, what is the 16.5 pushups method?
16.5 is the average number of pushups required each minute to reach the 1000 pushup level within 1 hour
David Goggins accomplished this feat on many occasions, the first of which was in 2011
16.5 is split between 17 reps and 16 reps. Every 6 minutes equates to a total of 98 pushups
16.5 push-ups have been the focus of my personal training for the past few months.

Try it.
