How many Pushups can you do?

What exactly do you do with that thing? I can't quite figure out how it translates into exercise.

It's anaerobic, not aerobic.

The value comes from strengthening the abdomen (but I'm sure you know this already), which in turn helps support the back. During strenuous aerobic exercise, having a strong back is useful.

I also do 20 reps with one of those ab wheels, which makes your triceps burn a little bit, not to mention your abs.

With a what?

Pic plz.

You can pick one up at pretty much any sporting goods store (at least here in the USA).

you sit on your knees and rolls forward and back...it works but kind of made for fat people to lazy to do good ole american crunches and sit-ups

I still do some crunches, to work different muscles that don't get worked with the wheel, but the wheel gets more muscle groups in one rep than most (if not all) forms of crunches do.

Meaning, you'd have to numerous reps of different kinds of crunches to work all of the muscle groups that the wheel works at once.

bicycle crunches have been proven to work the entire abdominal region while not punishing ones back...many people have trouble do standard sit-up or even regular crunches because of the strain placed upon the back...5min of bicycle crunches will do wonders for you ab's...when first starting out I would recommend spacing those 5min out into secremented sets...once one feels comfortable with the sets then expand your sets...healthy diets, plenty of water, not juice or soda, and regular excersice is all one needs...

I can do about 65 in two minutes, but FYI it's not impossible to do more than 75. There are guys in my unit who can do 109 (the max) in two minutes. My score is considered low. (but I make up for it by kicking their butts on the run time )

Typical workout doesn't just involve pushups though, that's just the test. Benching is a really good way to get those muscles stronger, along with other variants (incline, etc). A good hour at the gym every other day and you'll find that 70+ isn't as impossible as you thought

What exactly is a 'bicycle crunch' exactly? I'm having some problems envisaging what such a thing might be...

legs 6" off floors while on back hands at side of head...bring knee towards chest while touching with opposite elbow...work legs in a peddling motion while trying to touch elbow to knee...leg that is not in chest area should remain 6" above ground...can googled if one wishes to view proper form

Just envision the hottest gay-porn you can think of, combined with a workout.
