It's always awesome when there is a photo of a dude fucking a watermelon out of nowhere and someone I don't know walks by and looks at my screen at the very moment it appears  >:(

Dude, that happened to me at school. Someone posted a porno pic and people in the library saw it. They probably thought I was looking at porn or something  >:( >:( There really should be a filter or a warning.

Press ups yes and possibly 25 pull ups (Palms facing you), but not a chance if it was it was chins (palms facing away.) from a dead hang.
this. Amazed how many "bodybuilding enthusiasts" don't know the difference in a pull up and a chin up.

A chin is palms facing you. Pull up is palms facing away.

I have no idea. I could probaly manage 20 chins strict.

It's funny... you'll see some big dude doing lat pulldowns with 45s pinned to the rack but they can't do 10 decent bodyweight pull-ups.

I won't even start on fools yelling about chicken wings and shit, at the rack, before 8 good partials who can't even squat their own 20 or 30 times. :)

big dudes lift big weight, little fellas do pull-ups and chin-ups.

Chin-up = palms facing you
Pull-up = palms not facing you

Pulls/chins are cool I guess but push-ups are for pussies.

The Texas Push-Up Challenge
Picture if you will a furniture store in Texas. The crew is on break, standing around comparing pick-up trucks and loose women. The conversation wanes, until suddenly one of the crew — Big Bubba from the loading dock — makes a wager.

"Hey, Billy Joe, I bet you five beers you caint do something I can do."

The Testosterone surges and Billy Joe bows up. Sure, he worked the showroom floor selling recliners and had to wear slacks instead of Wranglers, but dammit, he was a man, just as much of a man as Bubba standing there in his steel-toe boots. There was nothin' — nothin'! — Bubba could do that he couldn't!

"Oh yeah, Bubba? What's that?"

Bubba goes on to challenge Billy Joe to a little physical test... and I'll tell you who won the free beers in a minute.

When I first heard this story, I laughed at the idea of a bunch of good ol' boys wagering beers and challenging each other to feats of fitness. But after I heard the challenge, I was struck quickly by this thought: "Hmm, I wonder how I'd do on that bet?"

So I tried it. Then my buddy tried it. Soon, half my gym wanted to see how they stacked up. So I decided to write up the little test and see how TMuscle readers do on it. You ready for a challenge? You got enough pocket money for five beers?

Here's how it works:

1. Begin in a standing position.

2. Drop to a push-up position and do one push-up.

3. Stand back up quickly.

4. Drop back down and do two push-ups.

5. Stand back up.

6. Drop back down and do three push-ups, then stand back up.

7. Repeat this pattern until you do 10 reps on the last set of push-ups.

So, you'll end up doing a total of 55 push-ups, standing up between sets, and trying not to rest. Or barf.


The Challenge
Goal #1: Just try to finish all the sets, ya wimp. If you do, then congratulations, you're adequate. Whoopie.

Goal #2: Finish all the sets in under two minutes. Do that and you can brag. A little.

Goal #3: Now it gets personal. From this point on, try to beat your previous time. Or, get a few buddies together and see who finishes first.


Tips and Guidelines
1. Use a full range of motion on the push-ups. None of that halfway horseshit.

2. Push-up bars are fine if you want to use them.

3. Most people "hit a wall" around the 7th or 8th set. So don't get too cocky when set #6 feels easy. Pride comes before the fall, hoss.

4. If you have to rest more than a few seconds between sets, you fail. Try again another time.

5. Take the Texas Push-Up Challenge on an off day, or do it first thing on the day you train chest or upper body. You may want to truncate your chest workout a bit though since you'll be doing 55 intense reps of push-ups at the beginning of your normal workout.

pretty sure chins are "palm out". Pull ups are "palm in".

FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no need. I am right. Y'all look it up. Pull ups are palm in and for kids in  gym class. Chins are a man's exercise and should only be done on back day prior to six sets of deads.

The man who took everything personally, folks.  

Better provide some proof or everyone will think less of you.

LOL. I don't care what anyone thinks Worm. Especially not here. Maybe I'm wrong, but I've ALWAYS known that chins are palm-out. Regardless they are harder palm-out and past 15 is a stretch for most quys over 200lbs. I just wanted us all on the same page. In retrospect it is ridiculous to argue about it.

I'd say you can do both chins and pull ups with your palms facing in or out - if you pull up to where your forehead is on level with the bar, it's a pull up, while if you actually get your chin on par with or slightly above the bar, it's a chin up. Most people do pull ups, which are hard as it is, while chins are a lot harder due to the additional ROM.
