Push Ups

Dzudi · 10-14-2006, 09:17 AM

Havent seen a competitive topic in here yet, so how many can you do? (push ups) I am currently involved in a contest with a friend thats lasted almost a month so far and I'm in the lead with 140 non-stop. I actually went to look at the world record because I thought I was so good but it turned out to be 10,507 non-stop; Minoru Yoshida (JAP), Oct 1980

so theres a blow to the ego. Any tips for pushing me into the lead would be appreciated.

Push ups are like running. You just have to build up your endurance to be able to do alot of them. The less you weigh the easier it is to do a whole bunch of push ups so dont feel bad that the record is over 10,000. That Japanese fucker probably weighed 80 pounds.

And had arms like Goliath.

Me and a few of my gym mates done something similar but with sit ups and how long you could squat in the seated position against a wall.

After a few months of training we tested it out and got like 400 odd pressups, over 1000 situps and 40 odd minutes . And to be fair the skinnier guys beat the buff dudes.

Hehe, one of my less sensitive female friends who works in a gym told me to drop the beer belly to win, you guys seem to agree with the getting lighter statement... Suppose its time I started doing somthing again anyway.

kdub · 10-15-2006, 08:41 AM

Well if a guy benches 200lbs for 4 reps and weigh 200lbs versus a guy who benches 200lbs for 4 reps and weighs 160lbs. The lighter guy is odds on favourite as his body strength is greater versus his body weight.

Also dzudi you hav eto have some damn strong shoulders to do alot of push ups so do some militarys to supplement the pushups. By the way man what kind of name is dzudi?

slickwillie · 10-16-2006, 03:52 AM

I agree with happy because I do a lot of pushups, pullups and dips and I sometimes increase my workout, but then decrease it too. The bottom line (at least for me) is to just do them as often as you can. As long as you're not hurting from the day prior or so, I would say build up to a good number and then work from there. I can range from 20 to 100 (mainly because I'm always changing my workout up), but not sure that I could come anywhere near 10k! :)
I wonder how long that took?

I'll tell you another thing to do and thats 1 handed pushups. Thatll put a lot of pressure on 1 shoulder at a time. How long do you have on this damn contest again?

He gets back in about 2 and half weeks, i figure we'll have the final showdown pretty quickly after. I always fall over after a few one handed pushups though

1 handed pushups are about leverage. You just have to get in a postion where your almost like a damn triangle with your legs spread out real wide and your arm underneath you. It takes practice but it will help you do more regular pushups.

See JonPop this is what I was trying to explain to you about these fuckers from Mississippi not being able to read and write. They also cant understand what they read. Hey want8 what the hell is jelqing gonna do for a guy trying to do pushups? Dzudi is trying to win a pushup contest. If he gets his dick strong enough is that supposed to help him do more pushups?

I can't believe I'm going to do this...........studly, want8 was making a funny about mass.

want8 · 10-19-2006, 02:37 PM

Yeah, and he wants to talk about who can't read and write!

happy stud · 10-20-2006, 04:26 AM

Hey Dzudi dont pay attention to these crazy fuckers. They either cant read or understand what the hell your trying to do or dont know a damn pushup from a pullup. Also man adjust where you put your hands. Try doing some with your hands as close into your body as you can. Doing them in different angles will help build up your shoulders also. By the way man what did ya'll bet?

Dzudi · 10-20-2006, 10:47 AM

With my friends it is assumed whenever someone loses somthing they buy lots of beer. I don't get the mass thing either.

88man · 10-20-2006, 04:11 PM

"MASS Thing" If you are talking about muscle mass? If you want to obtain muscle mass you must lift HEAVY weight. Most likely a "pyramid" type of program, or 5 sets of 5 type. Either one is good for gaining mass on your frame.

I won with 190, I basically focused on the shoulders getting stronger, did some sprinting on stairs to shave a few pounds off to lift, and dropped and did 5-10 whenever I had a minute so that my technique ended up flawless.

Glad you won the push up contest Dzudi. Now set your sites on winning a pussy contest.

Yea... Greg Valentino is a moron. His arms are that big because of Synthol not from steroids or working out. Synthol is basically sterile oil that bodybuilders use to enhance lagging bodyparts before a show. Greg just got too carried away and filled his arms and shoulder with it. With that much oil in his arms... it's only a matter of time before he gets an abcess.

The sad part about Valentino is that before he started using Synthol, he actually had a pretty good physique. Goes to show you how far some people will go for fame (or infamy)...

Dzudi · 12-23-2006, 02:37 AM

Quick update for you guys, I've been doing 50 pushups every day and maxing out every few days and I'm now past 200 and seriously considering working up to 300. Seems like my idea that technique was very important paid off.
