| LuStaysTru said: You lift approximately ` of your bodyweight with each pushup, so just multiply you weight time .6 For example I weigh 140 pounds (skinny I know, I hear it all the time) so each pushup would be 84 pounds. I tested it by doing a push up on a scale and it came up exactly 84 pounds so I think it's pretty accurate. Right now just starting I can do 30 pushups but my goal is 100! Go to this site: http://www.hundredpushups.com/index.html if you want to reach that goal too. Then come back and post your progress. |
Well, when I was in shape, weighed 140 pounds and worked out 5 hours a day(I was skitzophrenic and manic), I could 150 pushups. Now that I weigh 220 pounds and am lazy and have no muscle tone... 20 pushups. I also used to be able to do 10 four fingered push ups( I was trying to work my way up to two fingered pushups like Bruce Lee), 10 one arm push ups with my right , and 3 one arm push ups with me left.
I can only do one four finger push up now, and it hurts like hell...
I also used to be as flexible as this guy and used to be able to do the thumb suspension like this guy...
I also used to be able to do the sidesplits and frontsplits and used to be able to kick like jean claude van damme
I WISH i never had got admitted to the mental hospital. I was better off crazy training five hours a day thinking I was a ninja.
