How many push-ups can you do?
Don't lie either fuqqers.
I started doing them 2 weeks ago due to no gyms open. For chest, I been doing normal pushups, then pushups with feet up on a chair to mimic inclines, then flyes with 30lb db's laying on the floor. I do the flyes super slow to make it harder obviously since way too light. Anyways, the first day I did pushups I did 35 on the first set. I felt like a puss being that I used to be able to do 100 and felt like I could go on forever. But I was 17 haha! So my lame, pussified excuse for 35 - yet true - is that I haven't done them in 40 years since hitting the iron. Fast forward to today, on my 7th workout doing them. I got 62 on the first set, then 37, then 20 - resting about 90 seconds between sets. So the improvement is jamming, and my pecs now look like a young Arnold! (joke duh) Who's next? |

It depends on how fat the girl is and how badly I want out from under her.

I was going to send Alpha some reps but cant remember how to do it. So I'll just say utterly fantastic to go through that and still keeping on. Inspiring.

Push-up count today was 70, 45, 25. I found a more comfy way of doing them being they were causing my shoulders to hurt in conventional fashion. So when I start, instead of having my hands out around shoulder level, I move my hands down lower, as if benching in a PL style, so hands are down around mid-lower-pec level. Wow big diff - no pain in RC at all now. Since I've built up my reps to a decent level, next workout I'm gonna have my 8 y.o son get on my back and try them. He weighs 75 lbs, so should be much more intense. But I'm not giving up on reps just yet, I still would like to keep going until I can hit 100 again like eons ago.
