How many pushups...

[soonerhubs]

can you do in a row?

I've been working on losing weight, yet once again, but this time, I'm doing all body weight exercises, and it's been going very well!

I ballooned out to 245 lbs over December, but I'm now down to 219 since January.

Oh, and I can now do 60 push-ups in a row.

How about you? :)

[Romulus]

Between 80-100

[SoCaliSooner]

Between 80-100

Pre injury, probably the same. Been trying to do it with only one leg and can get to 65.

[Mongo]

[olevetonahill]

[soonerhubs]

3
That's a start. ;)

[CrimsonRez]

last p.t. test i did 82 in 2 minutes...never really tried longer than 2 though...**** hurts man lol

[sanantoniosooner]

No. In a 2 minute period. :D

I just wanted to know when to stop.

[soonerhubs]

I just wanted to know when to stop.

I hate it when I get stuck in 24-hour loops of pushups. Those can be very painful. :)

[rekamrettuB]

I haven't done any in a while but I bet I could still complete 40 or so. Back and my younger days I could do 70 plus w/out getting a headache.

For the record Rez.......all of us old f'ers hate you. Just sayin out of sheer jealousy of not being as good as I thought I once was. Cause the older I get.....the better I was.


And I am amazing at push ups, just ask my wife. I can push up in that fine blonde beauty all night long. And at my age that is all that matters

[delhalew]

After getting up to 240, I was shocked I could crank out 45 straight. Pull ups on the other hand, I'd be shocked if I could get one.

How do we get hold of or is she on the board. If she is on the board...how do we know she's not lying?

I think it would be nice to know we are getting the truth.

[2121Sooner]

Please. That and a paypal account. Have a running challenge as to who can donate the most to me. And my pet dog.....who is sick and needs surgery.

Oh.....and since I am going to cowboy camp courtesy of mom and dad to learn how to be a real pistolero, any donations for a cowboy hat would be preciated!

Something like Woody from Toy Story, that would match the sheets on my bed in ma's basement

Well hell boy Ill have to think about that.

[StoopTroup]

Vet. Have him PM his Mom and Dad's Address and we can sent cash to the house. I'm sure they will gladly dole out what he needs once they start a trust fund. I could use another Tax write off.

It's crazy how many people need help....

[JDMT]

Don't know how many, but i know i bench 310.

[jk the sooner fan]

if we're talking a military standard pushup....not many, at least now - back in the day i could do about 80 in 2 minutes

if we're talking the non-military pushup......not many, at least now...

[rs.soonerfans]

Vet says he can't get any Mexicans to work for him. Would you work for him? He needs some rock moved....

vet needs to get over to the home depot parking lot early in the morning to find good, hard working people. if not, it's like wasting a first round draft pick.

[texaspokieokie]

in a row?
24ish
in 2 minutes
45ish

me too, when i was young & skinny.

[oudavid1]

me too, when i was young & skinny.

Im beyond skinny. im underweight.

and yes, i eat lots.

[2121Sooner]

Do you drink an incredible amount of soda too?

[jkjsooner]

I've done 80. I might be able to do a little more. If I'm trying to do that much they'll be a little more bouncy and less controlled so it might not satisfy a purist.

[StoopTroup]

25 minute run = 2.6 miles. It may not be much for others, but it's progress for this recovering big guy.

keep it up. it's not where you start, but where you finish

[Eielson]

What's the point of doing pushups?

[Peach Fuzz]

137! (seriously) kabachuwa bitches!

as for running i'd be able to jog a mile and then sit on my *** for an hour

Depends on the gurl under me.

It helps when your at Tailgates and your doing push-ups to please the ladies and crushing beer cans with your skull.

[stoopified]

DEpend on who is underneath me. Put Salma Hayek there and I'm good for 150.

[soonerhubs]

What's the point of doing pushups?

Increasing strength in your core, shoulders, arms, and chest.

[SoonerofAlabama]

It is just an upside-down bench press. You can go a bit deeper though.

[soonerhubs]

Also, much cheaper than bench presses. :)

[Mongo]

nope. a bench isolates your chest and tri's. pushups use upper body and core muscles

[Eielson]

Increasing strength in your core, shoulders, arms, and chest.

It doesn't increase strength when you're doing 60 reps. That only increases endurance.

[SoonerofAlabama]

Push Ups-
Pushups promote strength, balance and stability by developing several key muscles, including the pectoralis major in the chest, the deltoids or shoulder muscles, the scapular muscles and rotator cuff, the triceps located on the back of the upper arm and the upper back muscles.

Bench Press-
The bench press primarily works the pectorals (major/minor), but secondarily develops the triceps brachii (extends elbow), the anterior deltoid (flexes shoulder), and the coracobrachialis (assists shoulder flexion). More emphasis can be placed on secondary musculature by varying body angle and grip.

What do you do to increase resistance?

[soonerhubs]

Good point.

[Mongo]

What do you do to increase resistance?

get fatter

[soonerhubs]

I don't think pushups are the be all end all of workouts, but they definitely provide me with a strong foundation upon which other strength training will be built as I progress.

[SoonerofAlabama]

Put weight on your back to increase resistance. As in if you are up for it, a 45-lb weight.

[Eielson]

Pushups can be a good start for strength training. I know of a guy who trains people, and when he trains kids, he won't let them bench until they can do 10-20 (can't remember the exact number) pushups. Eventually it loses its value when it gets into really high numbers as far as a strength exercise. You either have to add resistance (possibly a vest or a backpack with stuff in it), or use it as an explosive exercise (something like plyometric pushups) for it to be all that effective.

[soonerhubs]

Well whatever. I'm building endurance then, which is what my trainer wants me to do.

Absolutely!! :hot:

[ouduckhunter]

I'm guessing about 40 in a row, but I don't know for sure. I've done 150 (not in a row) in a 45 minute class last summer, but I'm in better shape now!

[GKeeper316]

right now? not very many.

when i was in the corps.? a lot.

[fadada1]

17 years ago, i could do 95 in 2 minutes in the middle of a pretty demanding physical test. now... i might be able to get 95 done by x-mas. i'm still in decent shape for 40, but my how times have changed.

[Sooner Tri]

I do an hour run 3 times per week, then finish with a series of stretches. This includes doing 50 pushups. I had to work my way up to that number by starting with 20, then adding more each week. I'm not sure there is much benefit to doing more than that at one time, but there could be.
Oh, and I'm 46.

I'm proud to report that after 20 days of training for 1 hour each day, I can now do 5 push ups in a row.

[picasso]

What, no mention of doing a clap at the top? Whusses.

[OU Engineer]

over 9000

I do those first thing in the morning, but I don't use my arms and legs to launch myself

[soonerhubs]

82

[soonerhubs]

98 in a row, and I've lost 39 lbs since winter.

:)

[Mongo]

good job man

[soonerhubs]

good job man

Thanks! I've not felt this much energy in years!

[Mongo]

now get you a gym membership

[EnragedOUfan]

When I was 18-21, I could do 75-80 pushups in a timed two minute period without going to my knees. I would do about 50-55 non stop, then I would knock out the rest in intervals of 5 by periodically stopping and resting in the pushup position.

Now in my late twenties, I can do about 65 pushups in a two minute period without going to my knees. 40-45 non stop, then the rest in intervals of 5. It sucks...

[I Am Right]

15 Bombadier style

[soonerhubs]

101. I'm starting pullups next week. :)
