Aodhan Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 As I understood it doing pushups slow had less benefit since you're not building explosive power (I've usually trained for speed. my record thusfar is 75 pushups in 45 some seconds)Depends on if you are trying to train the slow or the fast twitch portions of the muscle. 75 in 45 is pretty good.

Goju_boi Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 also the push ups done with the arms wide apart form u are easier than the push ups with your elbows closer to your body https://www.samuraimartialsports.com for your source of Karate,Kobudo,Aikido,And Kung-Fu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meguro Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 As I understood it doing pushups slow had less benefit since you're not building explosive power (I've usually trained for speed. my record thusfar is 75 pushups in 45 some seconds)It takes a lot of strength to do push-ups slowly, a lot more than it does to do them quickly. Try and do them at a steady pace: I Mississippi, 2 Mississippi. . . If you can do 75 reps at this rate, you'll be able to knock-off 100 at your faster rate.Explosive power comes from strength training not endurance training (push-ups are generally regarded as endurance buidling). However, you can increase the resitance, and thereby raise the strength building potential of the basic push-up by raising your feet, wearing a weight vest, or doing one-handed push-ups.
