orion82698 Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Really? I haven't gotten any pain form doing them, or bench pressing. Perhaps you should see your doctor about them. I get a popping noise every once in a while, but no pain.Two fingers you say? That might take me a while I don't have to be the best, just better than you!Working towards 11% BF and a Six pack
Meguro Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 eh. I figure it's overuse, too many reps. You're right, when I bench or do dips I don't feel pain, but then again I'm not doing nearly as many reps. Plus, I'm not getting any younger.

Aodhan Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 If you want an amazing difference, try putting a 15 lb weight on your back. I was to the point where I was doing 210 pushups in 3 sets of 70. I added a 15 lb dumbell, and immediately couldn't do more than 35-40ish.Aodhan There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.-Douglas Everett, American hockey player
Goju_boi Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 I just put on a back pack with a lot of magazines in it. https://www.samuraimartialsports.com for your source of Karate,Kobudo,Aikido,And Kung-Fu
orion82698 Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 I just put on a back pack with a lot of magazines in it.A buddy of mine had me place a 45lbs plate on his back, then proceded to 53 pushups. A killer tricep workout too! Remember, Biceps are only as good as your triceps! I don't have to be the best, just better than you!Working towards 11% BF and a Six pack
Meguro Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 I just put on a back pack with a lot of magazines in it.I do the same thing except with water bottles instead of magazine. I can fit about 8 liters of water in the back pack and am good for 4 sets of 20 reps of dips. Haven't tried the backpack with push-ups since doing them with feet on a chair is hard enough.
shogeri Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 The ability to do things, even push ups, takes time, and starts out small. Of course the meaning of small varies from person to person, but still implies it takes time, and continuous effort, input, and nurturing in which to make something grow.Don't give up.

Dont worry about competing with others for now. Be like water my friend!!
