Dude, I'm so sexy!

[naut]

So for a while now I've been on my self-imposed regimen of at least 30 pushups every day (morning, midday, night, and usually several sets of 10 inbetween), and at least 60 sit-ups a day, all at once in the middle of the day.

Why are you warming up?

[Crazed Rabbit]

That's neat.

Back in high school, the girls on the cross country team would do 25 push ups. Two sets of 25, that is.

Man, I'm bad for getting muscled up. I pump weights every second night and ****, but genetics are keeping me slimmer than I would like. But I agree, I am looking sexier when I flex. I don't think push-ups help much, though; strike can confirm that.

Long muscles, if you have an athletic build it's really hard to gain any extra. Easy with the heavy weights it's kinda futile, use light dumbells instead 20 kilo a hand max, or go swimming if you have a pool nearby, swimming 20 minutes a few times a week is more than enough

The ability to do push ups seems to vary a lot between people of otherwise similar levels of fitness. I can now do 28, when the average men my age is 30. I started off doing just 13 about a year ago (took a break before I started again a couple of months ago, started off then at 22).

At school when we did them at PE, I could do about 8. And yet I was top of the class for badminton and tennis, I know its more coordination but I could hit powerful shots. And at football even though I was one of the smallest (I had a late growth spurt, lol) I could out-challenge anyone and out-run most people.

My brother is the same, he tried and managed 26 push ups the other day. And he goes mountain biking all the time, does cross country, hill running, wins events where they do mixes of long distance biking/running etc.

At boxing there are skinny, weak looking people that do 100+ push ups. And other ones that look much stronger that get stuck at around 20-30 before they have to change style.

So it's not all about push ups. My aim it to increase my max by about 5-10 a month.

Whaaaaat, swimming makes you muscley? For real?!

Not masswise, but as you noticed that's hard for you. Thing with swimming is that you practically use all muscles.

That's alright, because he's going to be judged on his pull ups, crunches, and 3 mile run time. Push ups are going to be his break time.

message me about the pft for any branch of the military or service academy ive taken them all. and you need a 300 to be competitive. i cant imagine gatting asnything lower myself.

and do more pushups and situps those numbers are disgustingly low. ive done more pushups with a 50 pound ruck.

i am an 18 year old male with a culture of fitness but still man only 30 pushups and 60 situps. and do pullups they are a good measure of strength and healthy weight ratio.


AND START RUNNING! NOW! you need that 18:00

Haha, very funny.

I do more than 30, thats just my minimum. and increasing by 5 per day every week. so this week its 35 minimum, almost certainly doing double that every day.

Pics or it didnt happen.

[Togakure]

Pecs or it didnt happen.

Fixed, as is the Eye of Sauron on this thread ....

[Prussian to the Iron]

haha, still working on the pecs, and abs are definitely a WIP, but the difference from before is incredible. I feel like I could just take my shirt off and not be badly judged. And I have some new muscles. those are nice too :D.

[Prussian to the Iron]

ah Hooah, I sincerely tried but my camera, despite supposedly being able to shoot in 1080P, was unable to take a picture with any definition capable of detailing muscles. I know because I could clearly see them in the mirror, but the camera just couldn't do it.

[Centurion1]

i do the pft you did fisher. it hasnt changed in the army yet.

This explains everything.

You're seeing what you want to see, not what is really there.

A likely story.
