How Does One Calculate The Decrements In A Push Up?

[Apin]

I'm new to this HST stuff ... I'm wondering how does one calculate Chin-Ups and Push Ups for 15rm, 10rm and 5rm?

For chins and dips, include bodyweight and the load you are adding. Use an assistance machine to be able to use loads lower than bodyweight.

I have a weighted vest that will hold up to 40 pounds in 2 pound increments.

What if one is to increase the number of push-ups as one goes from 15rm to 10rm to 5rm say from 15 push-ups to 20 push-ups to 25 push-ups?

If your intention is muscle endurance, that is fine.

You would be better off adding weight/tension rather than adding reps.

I picked up a weight belt that allows you to hang a weight from your hips. I think I can probably load 70lbs on it (way more than is effective for training for me) and it was pretty cheap.

Ditto, recently added 47.5kgs to my belt only problem is it digs in (cheapish belt) imagine it will take more (it is going to have to sooner or later so it had better take more)

Weight vests are the ideal investment for BW exercises IMO. Having said that, they obviously cost more than the cost of putting a DB b/t exercises or plate on a chain/back etc.
