100 Pushups

[Herman]

Started this on another site, but got a job that required physical labor so had to stop doing them because I was too sore from working. Now that that's over, time to start back up again. You all probably don't care, but maybe if I keep track I will be motivated to finish the program and not look like a nitwit.

I did the initial test and ended up with 26 pushups before I fell to the ground. Not bad considering I haven't done a pushup in about 2 months. So I'll be starting in week 3 of the program.

Since I did 26 pushups, I should be starting in column 3, but I'm going to start in column two because I'm a bad ass. That will start Monday. So hopefully in 4-5 weeks, I will be able to make a video of myself doing 100 pushups. I'm setting the line at Yes +180/No -200 on that prop, though.

how do you not know?
thats like saying youre running a 11 flat 100. and then i ask if youre running a 100 meter or 100 yard sprint and you saying "beats the hell outta me"

I'm doing push-ups. Proper form push-ups. Don't make me think!

I did this last year. Got to the stage where I was doing like 5 sets:

56
45
42
60
as many as you can do (final set)

I ended up hurting my lower back though and quit.

But the last time I did "as many at once" as I could do I was at 72. The program works, for sure, just don't over-do it.

this is what i am asking. what form are you using?

 

[Cougar Bait]

It won't make a bit of difference unless you are doing them the correct way. Chest to floor, arms straight out.

I am doing this too. Nicky's thread got me started. Just doing 3 sets of 25 at this point. I am too lazy to go to the gym.

 

[Cougar Bait]

House it will work if you stick to the program. I used to do it while watching "The Dragon" movie. Weird, I know.

Herman this must be documented on film. Can't wait.

Does it matter how far your arms are out?

I'm infatuated with this new Herman for as long is it lasts. I hope this dream NEVER ends!!

Does it matter how far your arms are out?

It should just be your standard push up. Arms to the side, not directly beneath you. It's a lot of work, but if you do this I guarantee you'll eventually be able to do 100 pushups, unless you fuck your back up like I did.

Take a number, pally. I was on this twink train long before you even knew where the station was.

You should be doing 200 a day...do as many as you can in the first set (hopefully 50) and continue on....you keep going until you get all 200. You don't stop until you get them all even if it takes you an hour.
