How Many Pushups Do You Think I Can Do One Month From Now?

[Space05us]

I say I'll ba able to do 80. What do you think?

[Dis]

sure if you practice.

pushups aren't hard, because they are proportional to your body weight. I'm not very strong, but I don't weigh much either.

The most I have done is 67, only because once you reach 67 you score 100 points for the Navy physical readiness test. There's no point doing more.

Diss has much confidence in me, I raise my bid to 100!

In what colour?

Illur already answered that.

You can't do 80 CLEAN push ups after a month. This means, your chest gently touches the floor, and up just before your eblows would lock. Though if you can, that's very good. nonclean push ups are easy, but what's the point?

that's not what a pushup is. Our only requirements were the upper arms had to at least go to a horizontal position (parallel to the floor/ground).

Diss, don't be an idiot. There are few definitions of a clean push up. Everyone has it diffenretly, basically meaning how much they want to cheat. Looks like navy boys like to cheat a lot. At least we had to do FULL CLEAN push ups. Don't be silly and go claim something that is BS. Hey you can do pull ups like that do, but everyone knows it's cheating. Except the navy I guess. But then again, their muscles are needed in the buttocks rather than anywehre else

Space,

When you get bored with doing all these pushups, try handstand pushups and hindu pushups.

Handstand pushups aren't as bad as they sound, you can use the wall to hold your legs up. I like them for an awesome shoulder workout, but all the blood rushing in my head was too much for me to handle.

bah! you aren't supposed to touch the ground. That allows for cheating. As some guys "bounce" off the ground. It takes more balance to get as low to the ground without actually touching it.

Ive tried those, once. I got a headache and I couldnt work out my arms for a week afterward because I tweaked my shoulder.

No, that's why I said GENTLY. Barely touch it. You¨'re just angry because I called the bluffers here right now. You can do push ups like the way you described and call them push ups which they are, but like I said, when you do CLEAN push ups, the real ones, that most people don't do because they barely get more than 30 and are embarrased, that's when the reality sets in. We call the others 'nytkyttäjät'. They are ****ing losers we like to laugh at. People who chuck the ass and chest out so much while doing the bench, and then they do 1 inch movement and call it 'hey I lifted it 20 times"!21'. They are 'nytkyttäjät'. The worst of them are revealed in pull ups and doing dips however. But hey, what ever, I can do a million push ups if the movement is minimized and BS it is more efficient to move your body half an inch. THis is the new age mumbo jumbo crap, that none of the pro's ever back up. Only doctor sanchez does.

So what is my point. my point is, this challenge started from cheating, and if Space wants do somethign real, he'll do CLEAN push ups. Not some regulation of the ****** society or how they do them in Minnesota. Because it's simple, clear, and the hardest form, and from starting position to finish position to starting position. Not from starting position to close ground to half way to close ground. No. Up, down, up, down. Pretty ****ing simple.
