ShotokanKid Posted March 16, 2005 Author Share Posted March 16, 2005 I'm doing a Navy Seal Workout System so it's 4 sets of 15 pushups, 4 sets of 20 sit ups and 3 sets of 3 pullups, non stop, just keep switching "What we do in life, echoes in eternity.""We must all fear evil men.

ShotokanKid Posted March 16, 2005 Author Share Posted March 16, 2005 It's also progressive "What we do in life, echoes in eternity.""We must all fear evil men.

dingyuan Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Non stop around 60 for open palm but only about 20+ for fist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Although the most pushups I have done in a row is 70, I'm pretty confident I could do more. Let me try right now[, starting off with a fairly wide stance pushup]... Eh, not absolutely perfect form, but close. 73. This is after a workout, so I might be able to beat this by ten or fifteen come sunday. There are other measures, for instance, how to do pyramid endurance pushups. It's an idea I got from Benny "The Jet" Urquadez' book. You do one pushup, stand up, turn around, one pushup, standup turn around and do two and so on up to ten, And so on down to one again. All told it's 200 pushups. The question is how fast you can do them and how much spring you put into pushing into a standing position. As of now, I can't do it too fast, but have never measured myself. It's too late to do them tonight, but I'll give that a shot come sunday evening. Frankly, I don't know how I compare statistically with the general population. But my main concern is "If I had to, could I use that strength in the seconds or moments when I really need it!!?"

Synaesthesia Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 A guy came up to me and id he could do 60 pushup, I watched and said to him do it properly he manged to do about 22, I can max out 35 - 52 Proper it depends, That's exactly what it's all about. I found my greatest strength gains occur when I really focus my mind on the technique. It allows you to apply greater power when you are really tired.

That will make me really dizzy, especially with my nystagmus. "What we do in life, echoes in eternity.""We must all fear evil men.

ravenzoom Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Oh boy I'm really not in your league!! If I do 15 really well done push-ups I'm done. I'm 5'11 200 lbs (weighed 185 last summer) and I could never have even imagined doing 50 real good push-ups at this weight. Not that I'm weak, I've always graded above average in strength tests (for hockey). I don't know I guess I ain't good at them. But I really do believe that push-ups are not really important for getting good at martial arts or earning a black belt - hell if this was the case I'd have no chance (and I hate doing push-ups!!!!!) p.s. Perhaps I should slack the beer a bit - ha Canadians!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckd-student Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 I can only do around 35 and it makes me mad I want to be able to do 100! Chunk Kuk Do in SC! I love Club Karate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sansoouser Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Just curious here, but when you guys doing pushups over 100 are you touching your chest to the floor each time? Or is it more of the 90 degree angle at the elbow bouncing style? I see some record breakers just dropping from the top and catching themselves at the bottom. The amateur shoots his hands out ferociously, but lacks any true power. A master is not so flamboyant, but his touch is as heavy as a mountain.
