Title: BIG L DAWG'S COUNT DOWN TO 100 PUSHUP'S
Post by: big L dawg on August 17, 2009, 08:19:36 AM
OK folks....a few years ago I could bust out around 100 pushups at once with pretty good form...I've always been addicted to pushup's it's actually what lead me to weight training over 15 years ago...but I got out of the habit of hitting them and now even though I currently bench 335lbs for a single I can only do 50 push up's.....this really pisses me off...So..I'm challenging myself.I will post a video On getbig within 1 month of me doing 100 pushup's if I fail I will delete my account and retire from GetBig forever.Something some of you would probably be happy about haha.Haters root against me..friends or acquaintances wish me luck(I'll need it)thanks.....

BTW....whats the most pushup's you have done in a single set?anyone did 100 or more?

I really need to loss weight not gain.I'm a 245lbs natural so I am overweight.I believe I will start a diet as well maybe if I lose 10lbs in a month The 100 pushup's will be more likely to happen...

the thread is now official as the great mars has blessed it with an inspirational picture^^^

So what's your plan of attack?

The plan is to do pushups at least everyother day....and clean up the diet in an attempt to get down to at least 235lbs.hopefully this will be enough to add another 50 pushups in one month....I will also do alot of pushups with my feet elevated and some in between chairs....

for those that say I'm a fool...thankyou for helping motivate me...

for those that wish me luck...thankyou for GetBig brotherhood....

100 pushups  fresh, is pretty simple...If you have good tricep power, they would be easy to bang out. Now, 100 thre-point push ups (with elbows out and hands together like two pssing cars) is very, very hard to do.

I had a friend in college, everynight he'd do 250 diamond pushups. He'd break them up in sets of 50. 5'5 built Nigerian dude, he had unreal triceps...too bad he let the weed get to him and he became lazy.

as you will see when my vid comes out I'm not lacking in the triceps department at all....however I disagree that 100 push up are "pretty simple".I've been around for a while and have only ran across a handfull of people that can do 100 or more....now I know the internet and getbig is different...anyone & everyone can do hundreds of them in a single set with perfect form on here...but you won't see them post up a vid though haha.....they will say things such as "I have nothing to prove" or "My camera is broke" or "I have better things to do with my time"...often these same people have post counts way higher than me...

not sure I see your logic...especially when you get into different body types and weights.like I said I'm a 245lbs natural...yea I know some 180lbs dudes that can do 100 straight but not to many 250lbs guys.

I've never tried 100 at one time, always broke them up in 50's...plus I'm lighter, which may have something to do with it...I'm sure, if you did them say, at 6 am, 6pm, with either a light meal or a empty stomach you could bang out 100 with ease...

I usually just drop and do as many as I can till failure...today that was 65....

chest should touch the ground a Little every rep and elbows should be fully locket out on top if only for 0.1sec

actually disagree on this if you go completely down until chest touches floor your putting an extream amount of pressure on the wrist.the classic hand position of a pushup is already an unnatural hand position.thats why you'll see alot of guys do them on there fist or use dumbells.And if you lock out as with any exercise you take the tension off the working muscle.

Yea I've always been able to do at least 50 pushups no matter how big I've gotton.But 100 is a different story.I would encourage anyone who hasn't tried 100 straight to do so.most people I've seen usually gas out around 75-80 and form defiantly goes out the window.

I think that's a bad program 'cause there is no progression to speak of...it's like you have to jump from easy to hard in like one week. I'd suggest if you want to do alot of pushups start with easy volume like 200 pushups a week. Do these in as many workouts and days you like, and don't care about reps and sets, just focus on the volume, keep the sets easy. Add about 10% to the volume each week. Take rest weeks as you see fit. That's the way I would do it.
