I just remember the Drill Sgt sticking his fist down there so my chest would hit it.
But we used to cheat and spread our arms out wide so we would not have to go down as far.

So the Drill Sgts caught on and just added 50 to our count:(

Post by: Steve on March 02, 2004, 02:40:07 AM: I could probably do some pushups but I'm at the point in my life that unless I enjoy the physcial labor(fiddling w/ one of the cars or boats... garage stuff) I'd just hire someone to do it. If you want, I will slip one of my nephews a fiver and have him do some.
Title: How many pushups can you still do?
Post by: Nilsen on March 02, 2004, 02:40:30 AM: I do 50 with my legs up on a chair every evning except on weekends. Could do more but ive settled for 50. My hands are on the floor about an inch wider than my shoulders and the first 25 are on my fingertips. The last 25 are on my knuckles.

Done it this way for years.
Title: How many pushups can you still do?
Post by: deSelys on March 02, 2004, 03:50:41 AM: Just did 120 this morning. Agreed, I don't touch the ground. Could prolly do 60 touching the ground.

I began to do pushups again about 1 year ago, 1 session every 2 days. After a little more of a month, I was doing 100. It's no that hard if you do it regularly.

Yup i do. Only for fun now a few days a week. Used to do it everyday when i was "young"

I trained under Dave Campbell at a Jon Park gym here for about five years. Dave was a world ITF champion for a few years during the Dennis Alexio and Benny the Jet era.

Great teacher with strong 2.5 hour classes, primarly oreintated around the full contact aspect of Tae with alot of Akido hand techniques for in close. He would teach practical applications of the Art not the gay and usless point sparing you find in 99% of marshal arts gyms.

Lots of full contact with open and closed 16 oz gloves, just no inner or outter leg kicks. Regardless my legs were all black and blue and often i could barely walk down a flight of stairs.

Funny thing is my inseam is the same as my reach. :rofl

cheers...

Post by: Capt. Pork on March 02, 2004, 03:05:45 PM: I can do about 50 before my arms give out--takes about two minutes, I'm guessing.

Here's an interesting exersise though, try doing 10 per minute for 15 minutes. Starts off pretty easy, but gets pretty difficult.

I was doing them for in a min.

I got to 28 before I stretched a muscle in my neck, this is after my surgery though, and my neck has been tight..

Post by: Ripsnort on March 02, 2004, 06:56:46 PM: Seriously, I haven't done a push up in at least 10 years, but I bench press (max, 1 rep) 315 and work out regularly with 225-275 (Progressive pyramid, 4X10 to fatigue) Push ups are very hard on the shoulders as one poster proclaimed above, and I've had surgery on one shoulder, so push ups are off limits (Doctors orders, and definately no Military press weight lifting). You'd think that Bench press would be a similiar motion to push ups, but bench press doesn't affect my bum shoulder at all. Considering how much I weigh (200 lbs) I *should* be benching 350 max, but I'm getting old...:(

For you Cali Folks...that may be 20 toes down:rofl

Nope. But FTR, I'm 6 ft 1" (Or was, probably 6' now) and 15% body fat (checked last year, calipers) 10 years ago I was 180 lbs with 7% body fat. :(

I think Sirloin is talking about the excercise where you do a pull up, but stop half way up and hold it.

Post by: Saurdaukar on March 03, 2004, 09:29:42 AM: Not too big on pushups. Even during my peak physical condition I was only able to bang out around 40-50 in one sitting.

Dead hangs (pull ups) were my deal. Could do them all day long (the correct way - all the way up, all the way down).

Currently 6'0 170. Then, 6'0 185. Got to get back in the gym. :(
Title: How many pushups can you still do?
Post by: Wlfgng on March 03, 2004, 10:20:29 AM: lol 6'0" and 185 is very thin.

o'course it depdends on body type but that tends to be the runner-type... like long-distance runner type...
