Pushups Record at my School

Shmible · 01-12-2007, 11:09 PM

I was just wondering if you guys think it would be possible for me to set a new record at my school for pushups. Right now the record is around 127 pushups. I can do around 70. Do you think I can be able to break this record by June, 2008?

Hell yea the trick to cranking out alot of push ups is speed the faster you do the the easier they are push ups will make you a lil stronger and increase muscular endurance but it they wont do much very long for gaining mass unless you do weighted push ups. Inclined push ups do wonders for your shoulders.

I read somewhere on this forum that they're all mainly deltoid endurence, and you just do them really slow and hold it half-way down for as long as you can.

wow, you could have had the record at my school. I'm the current holder with 72.

I set it last year. My school is just full of terrible athletes i guess...

The record at my school was broken several times last year. First it was 100 then 101, then mabey 102, then it just kept going up. I'm hoping I can break it by a real significant amount so I can have the record for a long time.

What do you guys think about pullups? I think the record is 48. I'm not as determined to beat this record as I am with pushups, but it would be really awesome if I did. Are there any special tips for increacing pullups, besides doing more pullups?

I set the record for the Longest Flexed Arm Hang, At like 1 minute 4seconds everyone else dropped out at like 28seconds the second closest to me was 34. Extremely weak people at our school.

And hell yesyhhh brotherr!

Alfz · 01-13-2007, 04:28 AM

Whats flexed arm hold?

Holdng on the bar?

MedusaThrills · 01-13-2007, 04:51 AM

Yeah i didnt know at first either, i was like wtf?

As ive said before were a poor school, So we held onto a beam about 6ft up, a wooden one.
Basically you hold on with your arms at a 90degree angle to forearms, so your arms tensed. You just hold on really, see who can do for the longest.

Unfortnatly our term finished before we got onto chins and pulls.

Also in the gym it was quite funny, we have some bench press thing that says 18kg but i think its heavier because i can lift 15kg on a bicep curl one hand and that on bench press that on heaviest (18) i did like 2 reps, Straight after some 'really strong boy' did 2 on 10kg haha

Man im soo cool!

pushups dont have really much to do with muscluar strength. Some somwhat strong but small guy can probably do more than a big bodybuilder can. Its more about endruance than true strength

xStriker7 · 01-13-2007, 08:08 AM

Yeah it's deffinetly possible..imo pushups are the easiest to get good at. So why not be easy to get better

MedusaThrills · 01-13-2007, 09:28 AM

Yeah but you probably weighed like nothing lol

WE HAD THE DUMBEST EXERCISE IN FITNESS EVER!
It was

Who..

Could do the most pushups in 60 seconds. And i said to PE teacher, Hey surely this isnt right. When doing pushups you stay down for one second. Because some boy in our class apprently got 210 in 60 seconds where as i got like 70

vican20 · 01-13-2007, 09:30 AM

no its absoultly impossible so just give up...wtf man i hate questions like this...anything is possible dude just set and goal and bust ur ass...come june we'll know how bad u wanted it...

paintballproam · 01-13-2007, 09:34 AM

You dont have to stay down for 1 sec in PE. We just have some one make a fist under our chest and we just have to touch it and go back up for it to count as one. Our school record is like 75 in 2 mins.

ghostfacekilla · 01-13-2007, 09:38 AM

I used to do 150 in 2 minutes.

Train in sets of 20 X 20, then move it up to sets of 50.

Djankie · 01-13-2007, 10:09 AM

lol my schools record is 342

Spuddy · 01-13-2007, 10:14 AM

my friend went to the marines and can do over 120 from training like 5 months.. so yea, its definitely possible

but is it worth it? id say skip the wuss excercises that wont get you anywhere, and stick to the heavy lifts. set a new squat record or something

RomanGodOfWar · 01-13-2007, 10:27 AM

it's easy to gain in pushups. i started doing 30 in 30 seconds, and then every day i did 5 more. I stopped at 50 after 4 days though lol cause it wasn't seriously important to me or anything. If you keep adding 5 more to your max you should be able to do a buttload in notime.

RavensFan06 · 01-13-2007, 10:51 AM

Do you guys touch your chest to the ground everytime or fo u just go half-way down?

s_canter · 01-13-2007, 10:52 AM

me and this other guy in our school kinda rival over the 1 min push up record lol. hes a small mexican around 130 pounds benchin like 185. he got 72 in 1 min, and i got 68 in 1 min.

Mitsuomi · 01-13-2007, 11:03 AM

skinniest kid will win since hes so light. i could care aless about pushups. dips and pull-ups are a whole differesnt story though.

paintballproam · 01-13-2007, 11:09 AM

Skinniest kid does not always win, Ive ALWAYS been the skinniest up till this year and i never was able to do a push up till this year.

awahl63 · 01-13-2007, 11:12 AM

Just train for pushups...do push ups every night and I guarantee you will kill the record...keep trying to do more and more each night without stopping. Good luck man.
