What you stated was a backroom type conservation - not for the front room - the subject was light meant to strike innocent and fun conservation. However you chose to take it a different route.Quote:

Pussy!!! This old Air Force SSgt can do that and slam down 2 root beer floats with whip cream and a cherry on top with one hand tied behind my back. You Marines ain't got shit on us Chair Force boys!!! Aim High!!! ~DQuote:

God was not happy because he had no marine uniform, but He was happy with the thought that not anybody could be a marine
I am a marine so i'm one step above god

damn message too short..
also try to put your elbows closer to each other.
I did this the other night with my wife watching. 42, a far cry from the 80 or so I used to be able to do in my Ranger days.
Probably quite a few, seeing as my gym teacher gives over 25 pushups as warm-up, 10-100 for rule-breaking, and 10 for breaking a rule in a sport like traveling in basketball.

Thats an improvment apon 6 months ago, where I could not do any from anywhere.
I just did 54 in a max out set, moderate speed, touching my chest hairs, back straight and level, etc. When I work out I do 3 sets of 30, one set wide, one set normal, then one set in triangle. In the evening I elevate my feet on the couch and repeat.
This thread brought back a fun memory from my days as a counselor at a summer camp. The camp was up in the hills on the California coast, and it got very hot in the summer time. Sodas were a hot commodity up there, and a common unit of barter. I won many a bet with a new set of campers by claiming that I could do between 2 and 300 pushups in less than a minute (say it out loud). They thought I was saying 200-300 and said "no way! Prove it!!" I would drop and do three, and then claim my sodas. When I explained they would go red in the face and complain about being suckered, but I still got my sodas.
If you're a small to medium guy and want to put a big tough (big-mouthed, braggart) dude in his place, challenge him to a headstand push-up contest. Find a wall, do a hand stand against it, and do push ups, pushing your entire body weight up off the ground. I can still do 12 of these (used to be able to do 20, but I'm 42 now ...). Many big guys can't even do one. I'm not exactly sure why, but the bigger you are, the more difficult these are.
i can now only do like
12 diamonds
25 shoulder wide about 5 times
in a few hours
hehehe
pretty much sets all day
and i just started 3 weeks ago
i try for 100-130 pushups in a day
at the same time i can probably only do 30
update - in 2 mins i did 50
I just won a bet for a 6 pack last weekend by doing 100, but that really, really screwed up my rotator cuff. Honestly, how many I can do safely at one sitting... probably about 80.
in basic i had to do 200 at once, apparently i was a "smart ass", i sure felt that in the mornin.....and the next week :D
