I've done a 1000 pushups in a day as part of boxing training.

What was the point of that? Same question to all others who have used a similar program. I just don't get it. The muscles need time to rest and recover to grow. I would assume you would get much better results by doing 1000 pushups one day, then 3 off days, then 1000 pushups again.

If you want to grow muscles, pushups are not the way to go.

Doing tons of pushups builds stamina boxers need to keep hitting hard.

Pushups are also very good for abs.
