I use DB for shoulders and arms, but my best friend is a "dip belt" the belt that allows you to hang weight off of it.
At one point I was doing chins with 75lbs, dips with 110lbs with a BW of 175lbs.
I squat for three hours straight with a fifteen pound edge sander and shift around a room without rising while sawdust blows in my face. It's been a twenty-two year regimen. I hand sand all edges, so my fingers are strong to the point that a palm sander is a waste of my time. Then I drink beer, real beer, and eat ham, which you call backbacon out of fear of the real word.

My point with the push ups is if someone is using 100 push ups as a benchmark they are bragging about while others must cowtow to their superiority, they are living in a dream world. 100 is average for many martial arts. My routine should be a cakewalk for martial artists younger than me.
