hhmmmmm push ups (1 Viewer)

[mr EaZy]

how many can u do?

im talkin in one minute or otherwise

my personal best was 80 in one minute but they were all retarded

my math teacher in yr 10 happened to be a body builder and by that time i had stopped doing push ups. In front of him, i did 60 in one min


now, i dont time myself but i make sure (if ever i try again) to do 60-80 in groups of 20s and 10s

btw, how do i put up the kinda thread where voting is used?

 

[Jago]

groups of 20s and 10s? and here i thought you were huge.

exactly! try doin em non-stop

 

[velox]

the most i can do non stop is 40. But i only started like 2 days ago

 

[mack]

Yeah I can get to around 50 non stop until my arms become completely buggered. I usually try to get to 60-70 daily though.

I can get to around 150 situps now as well.

 

[velox]

i can do 100 sit ups. Started 2 days ago. I want to try to strengthen up a fair bit before rugby.

 

[mack]

100 situps after two days is pretty damn good. Increase it by 20 a day, thats what I used to do.

Do you benchpress? Most rugby players I know benchpress, and they have huge chests and arms.

 

[velox]

i cant benchpress for crap, i find it really weird. I just use those other random weights machines in the weights room.

 

[ezzy85]

at our year 10 fitness test i managed to do around 4. now i think i could do 15 non stop.

 

[mr EaZy]

exactly! try doin em non-stop

non stop? no probs bro!
infront of my math teacher i did 60 no stop in 60 secs

 

[mr EaZy]

but after the HSC i dunno if i can do 60 so i do 40 non stop and then 20s then 10s thats what i was tryin to say. i dont time myself nemore

 

[mr EaZy]

Shouldnt the average fit kid be able to do 50...thats what they made us do at high school


50 pushups and 60 situps

at our school we had to do 100 sit ups and as many push ups possible in one min

 

[mr EaZy]

lol, i just did 60 push ups right now (i cant prove this though )

im not huge. in fact im underweight. dunno why im 50 kg and around 170 cm.
in between our trials we had 3 days of partying.
after all that i actually lost 1 kg! amazing!

 

[ezzy85]

what are doing pushups for your maths teacher for?

 

[-a-s-h-i-]

yeah..i do 100 push ups and sit ups a day, trying to get big muscles, lol..not working thou

 

[mack]

It'll work if you keep at it, especially with 100 a day.

 

[mr EaZy]

my teacher was a MALE body builder (i think he's top in my regoin and third/4th in state or somethin like that, the guys in my class wanted to dsholw him wat kind of a terrorist i was

in yr 7 i did 33 in 60 sec. in yr 8-10 every one went crazy coz of push ups so i had to perform. so heres my secret:

i firstly started of in my room: i put a clock just above the place where my head goes down right. then i did as many push ups as i could (30). Wait exactly 5 sec, then do a as many as i could handle (20) then 5 sec and then 15 then 10 sec and then 5 and kept on going until i couldnt do not one push up. thats how i got started.

then i moved my self outdoors and only decided to do pushups in cold weather (windy too and at night) on my balcony (so that my sweat rapidly dries up and i feel comfortable and not sweaty. so i did push ups there and a few kicks and punches and jump up and down.

jumping up and down gives u great abs! i never do sit ups. ITs just a waste of time for me.
if i ever do sit ups, i do one or two really long ones. My teacher taught me this tech.

also, with push ups do one very long push up - ie: stay near to the ground for 10 sec. pretty good!. I dont do these things anymore though....this was all in the past

 

[mr EaZy]

also with push ups, u dont work ur biceps and all that, u need dumbbells for that.

but with push ups, u should adjust the place where u place ur arms so as to work out a diff part of ur chest, and forearm.
cheers!

 

[mr_speedy]

and plams really close together work triceps, similar to close grip bench press.

and to that guy who said he cant bench press very well, try dumbbell press, ie you have a weight in each hand, i think its more effective than barbell bench .

and also if you want to get big, push ups wont get you anywhere.

 

[z.co]

all u ppl are saying u can do so-and-so many pushups.. do u ever thikn that some ppl are doing it differently.?

if u try with ur plams on top of each other.. itse hardr..

if u do pushup- when u go down.. and your arms and elbows are parrallel to your body, its also harder.

try doing pushups slowly.. its harder.!

do pushups on 3- chairs and its also harder (one chair for each arm. and one for feet)
your body goes lower than ur usual point

i can do 40 pushups with palm of hands ontop of each other... going down about when my nose is about 4cm from ground... (my nose is not very big) doing it slowly tho...
