Do them exactly in my instructions not the typical pushup. Athleticism has nothing to do with these puppies...You were estimating, do them how I said and prove to yourself

how do u think i do my pushups :roll:

You know what I don't know how many I could do. In high school I know I would do more than 50 in physical ed. class but now all I do is run or lift weights.

Voted too soon - said 51-60 but did not notice that I had to keep my head looking forward

. Makes it a lot harder.

Look at this crazy workout I endured today, for legs and abs.

-30 minutes, nonstop - i.e. only time to switch exercises.

-lay on back. put legs on top of medicine ball. hold butt up and using hamstrings, pull ball towards my head, then back out. 15 reps.
-Lunges, with 10 pound dumbells, each hand, across a basketball court and back.
-My trainer holds a rope, both ends. I grab the middle. I squat and using legs pull him while he's resisting some, across the court. On the way back I push him, with his weight on me (260 pounds) as hard and fast as possible.
-take an elastic rope and grab the two edges while sitting on knees, like a helped pushup position. Put the elastic rope (middle part) under my foot and kick outward and up. This works hams and gluts.

ALL OF THE ABOVE FOR A CYCLE OF 3. I was dripping sweat first time in my life and was only halfway finished.

THEN: Superset (3 sets, rotation) between these 2 for abs:

(A) Leg lifts. With a weighted ball between my feet. 12-15 reps.
(B) Sit on the edge of bench. Lean back some and hold feet straight ahead of you, in the air. Pull the legs towards the abs and back. 12 reps.

Damn. I'm going to be crippled tomorrow.

Try MMA training. Not only working on your physical condition, but as well as your fighting techniques and endurence (not only in running, but in stand up fighting, ground fighting, and grappling/wresrtling). Not to mention for fights you have to weigh a certain amount in order to go into the ring/cage.

hi and welcome,
the main reason why I have bad health is I sleep at about 11pm-12am and wake up at 6am to go school, which is the main reason why I sometimes hate my school

I don't know how many proper push-ups I can do but it's probably around 0

Not exactly something to be proud of there bud. Though, probably wouldn't hurt to try a few though.

by **wrestler1ump** on Mon Jun 16, 2008 3:42 pm

On a good day I can do 52. After that I can't seem to keep my form no matter how many I do.

Not sure what happend to the 5k time thread, but I did slightly over 3 kilometres in 8 minutes so not sure what my 5k time would be.

by **The Weird One** on Mon Jun 16, 2008 5:42 pm

In all honesty, I had to change my vote. I'm in worse shape than I thought I was. I can only manage one or two past fifty. :cry:

I can do 85 push ups at one time in 1 minute 30 secs...

my record is 4 sets of fifty push ups wit 30 seconds breaks inbetween that means i did 200 in under 10 minutes

i like sit ups and pull ups also

i go through phases of exersise but i started when i was 12 cause i want to be able to win against a bigger kid in a fight

by **chu816** on Tue Jun 24, 2008 1:28 am

Bullshit. You did not run close to 2 miles in 8 minutes. You do realize anything under 5 minutes for 1 mile means you are a world class athlete. And what you are telling me is that you nearly ran a 4 minute flat mile. Your name is not Roger Bannister. BTW the current world record is 3:43 for a mile. That means you are sprinting really! WOW!
