you are correct in the lay off time...when I do that I feel all rested and better off.

but there are days that I just push to the vibration stage...like the past 3 days and probly tonight...although I gotta pack the pack. and I do stretches and yoga in my tent when Im camping...very relaxing.

30/30 supersets -- 125
Did 30/30 super sets just now (30 pups followed by 30 second rest, repeat sequence). Started feeling it in my arms a little after the second set but did the third with no problem. Then on the fourth, ran out of steam at 25. Gotta be a way to keep crankin when you feel like you're gonna fall on your face with the next one, so I'll crack that next time.

Math error, should be 115 total. Which is the same total of my last 21/20 sets. Barrier's gotta fall.

Four complete sets 30/30
Did four full sets tonight, total 120. Started out slower than last night and thought I'd have a tougher time, but after the first two sets the third was easier. Then on the fourth, did a mental trick. Started them out thinking like when I'm fresh and they go quick. They didn't go that fast, but kept my mind off the number and before you know it I was at 30.

Another barrier falls!

I don't have "guns" but I can allways bench, lift, pull, push my own weight many times.

I do 100 sit up a day. Minimum, if I have time I keep going to 300

I got so mad after Matt banned my sign-in name, that I did five 21/20 supersets plus one. After doing 55 easy ones earlier tonight.

Why the hell matt has something against Bude is beyond me. He's probably green with envy and spouting steam cause he can't even crank out 20.

hey ............... maybe matt is SGT. HARTMAN.

The woman who teaches one of my exercise classes is a body builder. Monday night she led us in 70 pushups, 55 of those in a pyramid. I love that class, and someday I hope to be able to do just one of those pushups. =D

Is this really a thread???? You have gotta be kidding me. This site is becoming a waste of time.

When I saw push-ups, I guess I shoulda thought bras, but I thought sets. I can do 35 or so, but I usually just do sets of 20. When I take the boys camping, we have a ritual push-up contest. I'll die trying before I let those boys beat me! But it's only a matter of time....

I'm with you, Bude, never sacrifice form for quantity.

I can't do push ups any more. There is a shooting pain from the outside of my wrist that radiates up my forearm. I don't know what it is.

Tango, perhaps some words of wisdom spoken by my former squad leader can help..." if you arent bleeding out of at least three different holes, you arent sick

I totally agree!

Squad leaders are like that. We editors want reporters to get the story, but I tell mine to be careful because dead reporters don't write very good stories.

What the hell?? Are your reporters getting "offed" in suburban Philly?

YIKES!!! (so is that in your job description, "Must show extreme care in the line of fire... errr, we mean reportering.")

"Reportering."

65 easy ones tonight.

Matt bans me whenever I brag too much about my ups, and I think I know why. See when I come on here and tell how easy it is to do 60+ pups and supersets and brag about how much of a STUD I am, matt who prolly does no pushups is sittin there thinkin, this Bude's making me look bad. And he cant stand to look bad cause he's the webMASTER, so he blocks me from posting and braggin. But I just do more pushups and get right back on.

I just did 70, but the last 5 were a struggle.

Thanks for the compliment! Its kinda funny, when I was 18-20 in the service I never could do nearly as many as I do now. Prolly did em too often back then. I am halfway to my goal...

haha...
not too impressive...it knocks the heck out of me...70 is really pushing it...I have to take a back stretch at 60, 65 and then crunch to 70. knees never hit the ground though. and it is pratically straight through, I'll get there though.

Me jealous? I'm WORKING on my pups. Matt is just sitting on his lazy ass behind a keyboard trying to ban people he thinks are making him "look bad."

HEY MATT --

I'm a pushups STUD. Let's see you drop to the floor and give us 60. No wait, 50. No, for you 35. Too much? Okay, give us 20. Still too much ??????????
