100 Pressups, can you ?

[Davel]

I employ someone to do my pressups for me.

[Digger]

Aah had forgotten about this. Now reminded how it knackered a shoulder last year (my fault as had not warmed up at all!). Will lose a stone and give it another go in 4-6 weeks time.

[Mclovin]

what is the point....dont you need your arms when you get old...

[Onzlouk]

Easy peasy now.......whats next?
For those of you that are getting good now try clapping your hands between each press up, that should keep you busy for this year!

Or perhaps doing some leg work or core exercises.

Can someone translate this I am struggling...

Regarding the pressups I have done 90 in 60's if that counts...maybe not perfect form but you get some serious lactic doing it!

[Colonial]

I did this a few months back.

I started at 21 and finished up after 8 weeks at 73.

Really good way of doing things. But you gotta remember to do your core as well.

Yup just adding this to my workout routine. Doing the situps as well. Training as a runner and finding my lowerbody is beefing up a lot more than the upper!

I was up to 90-100 a year ago. I aim to get back to that in the upcoming weeks. Not sure aboot the time, it prolly got quite slow towards the end

[okgo]

Whats the point in this whole thing?

[bales]

I'd assumed it was so you can come onto PH and brag about something that no-one will ever know if you are telling the truth about or not

Bit like everything on here then

But if you coudl do 100, and a a few weeks off means you're back to Sq 1, I don't see why..

[K87]

Because he obviously didn't carry on training afterwards.

With any exercise if you stop following it you will get worse at it.

The whole point of the thing is to build up core body strength and get fit by getting into the mentality to want to do some excercise cheaply and quickly. Getting to 100 is a lot of work, and you can see a noticable difference along the way. It is an achievement, which is what exercise is all about.

Ha ha this made me chuckle, we could organise a verification of all claims on PH Health Matters at the gym I work in no problems. Or World Gym Challenge?

And for all the iPhone users, there's an app for this..(!)

I'm starting tomorrow. Was doing it last year and got up to about 60. Really noticed the difference in muscle tone/size. Felt better too.

100 is a good target to aim for.

[okgo]

whats the app called then?
