How many push-ups can you do?

[macaroni tony]

^ Yep - those are all butt-tocks sports

 

[i_got_a_mohawk]

Apologies and point taken. I was at different times a shotputter, Olympic weightlifter and football player and in those sports - really most terrestrial sports I guess - leg strength is more important.

Would still say that you are right about it being 'most'

 

[jmattbassplaya]

Wow, so we are about the same size. Well, height anyway. Cool man - we can both push over carlos, Matticus or aborg with an index finger. Short guys rule

Now I just need to convince all the girls at my school to start thinking that

You wish, go ahead and push me... Ive got a wide stance.

 

[macaroni tony]

^^ You just need to play tailback or something. That's the only arena in which chicks dig the short guy. Or equestrian sports...

^ Chile, please....

I was thinking the same thing, just come on and give me a push see what happens!

Since 80% of my bodyweight is in my legs - I'm not very easy to push over. Now arm wrestling...

Not only that, but I can also reach a basketball out at the extent of my arms, over tony's head, while he tries to jump for it and laugh.

I haven't seen Gard around here in a while, so I'll assume his e-muscles. Ahem...

If the three of you line up and brace yourselves by placing one leg behind the other, I could still push you over without the advantage of stepping into it! And I'll armwrestle aborg with both arms tied behind my back - and still win!

Apparently you haven't seen Tony's vertical leap

All right, you've got me there

Jmatt...when there is no one around for comparison, and I have all the time in the world to power up, I can make it look like I can jump pretty high

Chicks did dig me as a soccer player back in the day. Then again, I also had the hair of an angel back then lol.

I am at my ideal weight.....I just haven't reached my ideal height yet.....(I'm 35)

Yeah, 2 inches aint nothing to shake a stick at...

I don't know, let's see:

33 incline - feet on chair
13 - four on the floor
6 decline - hands on chair

Back when I was doing a lot of pushups, I used to do three sets of 50 pushups with my feet on a weight bench, that was part of my cool down on chest day. I could probably do 60 in 60 seconds.

I still do 40 every morning and night before bed. That was the go/no go line when I was a soldier 30 years ago

How many push ups can I do in a minute?

With or without my hands?

Word of warning to the moobed, push ups will not get rid of moobs. You will only grow muscles under your moobs, making moobs look perkier. A good bit of cardio is the only way to go to burn that fat. For awhile I was on the 100 push-up schedule, but then noticed that my chest wasn't getting any smaller, just perkier, so I started running instead. Then my knee started giving me alot of troubles, and the whole thing went down the crapshoot.

Try cycling. In my experiences it's a lot easier on the knee. Or if you'd prefer you can also trying swimming, though I find this one to be hard to stick with as it wears your whole body out quickly. It's a great exercise though.
