Pushups

“TBILISI, Georgia -- Dzhumber Lezhava returned to Tbilisi yesterday, ending a nine-year trip around the world by bicycle.

Lezhava, 63, began his journey on Aug. 13, 1993. He travelled 264,000 kilometres and wore out nine bicycles.

...he hoped to get his name mentioned in yet a second entry in the Guinness Book of World Records. It's there already for having done 3,000 pushups.

Solly, I don't know how to do links and stuff.”

“never tried...I do pushups in sets of 50, I try to do a set every hour during the day. 10 years ago, I was doing sets of 100...but I got away from it...in April, I was up to 60 -65, then I damaged my shoulder severly, am over that now...except when I get to the high 40's I can feel the ligaments pinching a bit. My goal is to get back to where I was 10 years ago...that is going to be hard...cause im not 33 anymore...but Im gonna try.”

“I keep seeing this thread pop up. Ok, I'm starting again. Its been a year or so since I quit doing them. Started off with 25 tonight. We'll see how long I can keep it up.”

“On your knees or on your toes snow nymph? If you did twenty five "man style" pushups, you are a STUD! (and I mean that in the best possible way ;))”

“thats great...I'm kind of stuck at 55. last 3 are tough...but Im gonna break it to 60 soon”

“Toes! I used to teach aerobics, and women hated when I had them do pushups!

Its been almost a year. We'll see how sore I am tomorrow.”

“Wow, I just surprised myself and did 12, on my toes. My shoulders crunched the whole time, that can't be good. Now, I must go to bed.”

“stikmon,
Nobody seems to listen here. Count every other pushup the next time and you will do over 30 which will be over 60.
It works.”

“thanks BS...I gotta crak this level...once to 60 the rest shold fall into place...also gotta start to do a solid ab work out...”

“but man was it hard...almost kissed the floor on the last one...took all my focus to lock the elbows.”

“The first time doing supersets I did 105 (5 full sets). My second time I was only able to do 4 sets (84) before running out of gas. Tonight, I did 4 1/2 (95), but could not hack out the last 10. Guess the muscles were pumped up with newbie enthusiasm the first time.

Made up for the poor performance the second time by doing a regular set of 49 a couple hours later. Think I'll do the same tonight.

With regular pups I'm hitting a wall around 53.”

“I just did two and threw up all over myself. Can we stop this??”

“Try pullups.”

“No thanks, I'm potty trained....”

“55 tonight”

“I know my foot is busted but i need to do something so im going to start pushups myself....on my knees of course....well maybe one knee if that hurts to much...I CANT SIT STILL ARGH!!!!!!!!”

“I feel for ya Spirit Coyote...I've a bum knee, I haven't done anything for over a month...I'm going crazy.”

“Feeling tired tonight, did 53.”

“60 last night!!!

55 tonight (lazy)”

“I won't be doing any for awhile....I was doing so well on those too!

Got a concussion this weekend. Guess this should go on the Injury thread.”

“Girls shouldn't be doing pushups.”

“Snow Nymph...from snowboarding?

Take care out there!!!”

“take 3 card style chairs (you know the ones that fold up) plase 2 of them back to back, then move them apart slightyly wider then shoulder distance, then take the third one and set it up so that the back of the chair faces the other 2, and put your toes on that one, and grab the backs of the other 2 and do your pushups so that your back becomes even with the tops of the backs of the chairs...have fun!!!did 30 of them 4 times last night and my pecks hurt like heck this morning...great feeling.

Make sure your balance on the chairs is solid as if not, you'll go crashing and really mess yourself up.”

“Stikmon...or stack 3 columns of 2 bricks using your pattern. Less distance to fall if you slip up.”

“Yesterday while doing my push-ups my daughter saw me and decided to sit on my legs/rear.She laughed and yelled bounce bounce, I had 10 complete and got 50 more (she weighs 27lbs) man was that hard!”

“birch, i know the feeling. i usually end up with paws on my back when i do pushups.”

“LOL ductape”

“Nasty!”

“WHen Khatru was a puppy, I was doing sit ups, and he put two paws across my chest and peed on me...you never saw a dog fly so fast and far!!!”

“I don';t own no bricks...so the chairs will have to do...the distance to the ground is my motivation to control my balance even better...I did 35 at lunch, so now the pain that I had in the am is now even more intense...gonna do more at dinner...gonna grow me some manboobs!”

“53 tonight. Broke the 60 mark over the weekend.

Funny thing about pups, they reproduce if you keep at it. Used to have 40 or so, now at least 50 come around each night. Damn that doggie sex is good!”

“up to 182 tonight. All the hard work is paying off!”

“paws on yourback? you must be getting it doggy style !”

“Wow, ductape... and that's no lightweight dog!”

“58 tonight. Coulda broke 60 again if I'd really pushed it.


ductape --

If you have paws on your back doin p'ups and you're getting it doggie style like lil#&%!$cat says, what exactly is going on. I can see a woman gettin it doggie in that position but, can you draw us a picture?”

“What's with this censorship thing, does matt the webmaster think p-u-s-s-y-cat is a bad word?”

“hehe, should have read that one before i hit submit.
i think you guys know what i mean. if not, just forget i said anything.”

“Long day today and tired, only did 51. Feel like a pussy for stopping short of 60.”

“Hey gear coach, YOU"RE RIGHT! I can say pussy! Wonder if I can say #&%!$CAT now.”

“Damn! Looks like it was that seed of doubt that stopped me from saying pussycat.”

“Five sets of 75 every third day”

“What's the timing between those sets?”

“cranked to 37 just now, almost got to 38, but couldn't make the arms lock. These puppies are hard...floor pushups Im up to 65. they're getting easier as I do more of the pushups on the chairbacks. started doing crunches again too.”

“Hello, Mr. Strong Arm?? hehehehe, will you flex for me??”

“this has got to be better than my gym workout. Stikon's tactic sounds like a good one. I'm gonna try it, but when I come crashing down, I'll be cursing you dude. lol!”

“my arms feel like rubber, 37, 35, 35 then cranked out 40 on the last set...sheesh...”

“what are the times between the breaks on your sets? And, if you don't mind me asking, are you taking any performance enhancing drugs (besides essence of lizs).

j/k!”

“I usually rest @15 minutes. My arms aren't sore this morning, which tells me that my endurance is increasing, but I feel like I pushed hard last night, which, of course, I did. I neglected to say that I also did @ 200 crunches too. Gotta get into monster shape before TC2. Don't wanna be no slacker on the trail in front of all the other hiking wizards.

My goal for all this excercising is not bulk...that's for steroid head idiots...it is for strength and endurance...one never knows when super strength and the tossing of a tree or rock might be necessary to save someones life, maybe even my own.”

“Intervals between sets are about ten minutes. I alternate 100 (fifty per arm) reps of 25 pound dumbell curls (sometime 75 reps of 35 pound dumbells)with the push-ups. But I run in spurts.

Sometimes I take off a week and do nothing but run. The lay-off of push-ups and arm curls is necessary every so often.”
