rountine good or bad?

[A_Munk3y]

well.. i started a daily program a while back

tell me if its good or not too good.. and if im not doing right cause someone said too much would stop being benefitial

anyway

i started this specific workout about a week ago

i do 1000 situps daily and 300 pushups.. throughout the while day

i do 50 situps every 10 minutes and 20 pushups every 10 minutes till i reach each one..then i stop

im not worried about cardio or upper body being stronger than lower caise

i play soccer for my school so i run every day and do excersizes and drills for 2 hours every weekday and sometimes saturday with my team.. i also play tennis( for fun with my brother).. so my cardio is really good.

but as for overloading.. idont think i am

ive been doing pushups forever and ive built up to these amounts

same for situps so i gradually got to 1000 and 300..

i started with 75 pushups and 200 situps and worked my way up over several months, so im not worried about overload

but someone toldme that by doing situps and pushups that much its not beneficial cause its only make those muscles stronger andnot the surrounding muscles

so i want your opinion on what i should do

thanks

Doesn't sound too bad, you should be in pretty good shape. You could at a weight lifting schedule in to make for the other muscle groups, if you feel the need.

i was thinking about that, but i really do nt like weight lifting...

i might try it tho..

i always liked just using my own weight..

You may already do this, but you may want to vary the types of situps you do to work the different abdominal muscles. Having a strong core is always a good thing. I was also told recently that where you place your hands while doing pushups will change the muscle groups you're working. I wish I had the time and dedication to do that many every day.

actually i just did normal situps but now that you mentioned it

ill try to vary different kinds of situps

thanks

just going on your sums there at 50 situps per 10 minutes and 20 push ups in 10 minutes it will take you nearly 6 hours to complete your routine, plus you have school, soccer, tennis and MA training as well?

do you sleep?

[A_Munk3y]

i dont do MA.. kinda weird why im no this site ^^

and ill be back from school, and after school soccer at 4:15.. 4:30

i play tennis but doesnt mean every day

and it only takes me about 3.5---4 hours

i dont know if u can multiply or not....

50 situps every 10 minutes

50x6 = 300 in an hour 300x3.33333= 100

so thats 3 hours and 3/10 of an hour

and situps 20 every 10 min.. so 20x6= 120 an hour

120x3= 360 so thats not even 3 hours to get 300

do you think i do situps then pushups to make it 6 hours?

i do them at the same time

so its about 3.5--4 cause of the time spent doing the excersize

so b4 and after school i have about 7-8 hours.....

yes i do sleep.. yes i have a life

[Zorbasan]

how can you do sit ups and push ups at the same time?

1000/50 = 20 * 10 mins = 200 mins

300 / 20 = 15 * 10 minutes = 150 minutes

= 350 minutes total

unless what you were saying that is in 10 minutes you do both 50 sit ups and 20 pushups, in which case yeh it would be about 3 hours.

was just a bit hard to see how you was doing all that every day thats all.

[A_Munk3y]

yes.. thats why im doing

i can see what you mean by its hard to really understand how i do it

but i really have nothing to do really most of the time when im home

I agree about varying the type of situp. This also applies to pushups. I can think of at least 13 different ways to do pushups. I know there are more, but here's the ones that I pulled off of the top of my head:

1)Regular

2)Close grip (make a triangle with your forefingers and thumbs in front of your chest)

3)Wide grip (wider than regular)

4)Feet elevated (put your feet in a chair)

5)Inverted (upside down against a wall)

6)Backwards (face up)

7)Knuckle

8)Fingerprints

9)Fingertips

10)Two knuckles

11)Clapping (clap your hands together on the up-stroke)

12)Superman (hands further out, above your head)

13)Opposite of Superman (hands closer to your waist than normal)
