Crazy Pushups

**kyjelly** · 04-19-2006, 07:11 AM

My friends dad, former US Marine Recon., is not a huge guy. hes not small, but not all bulky big either. But we just stood here for about 10 minutes, and he did 500 pushups! Is this muscle strength and endurance? its crazy, cuz he never touched a weight in his life, just those military training books.

It's a military thing. My son is in his third year at Valley Forge Military Academy and he does the same type of stuff. He will do 100 pushups in 60 seconds. Its cool to watch!

Definately military thing. My boss is like that too.

He didnt do them standing lol, I meant, that my buddy and I, stood there and watched his dad do them. lol it was crazy though. I mean, Ive seen people lift really heavy weights and all that stuff, but never before seen 500 pushups just put out with ease. Kinda makes me wanna start a military workout.

I'm into more endurance style workouts at the moment, having used the free weights to build a fair amount of size in the past. I'll probably bulk more now though, but try and keep the endurance. I can only do 80 pressups straight off though, but up to a high total in a number of sets.

That is cool.. They do condition you pretty good when it comes to things like that.

I personally can do between 5-600 pushups at one time.

**Liftnainez** · 04-19-2006, 06:05 PM

i have never seen anybody do close to that many.. what kind of routines do you do for these type of results??

**suckysucky** · 04-19-2006, 06:06 PM

Hoo-ra!

**oldman** · 04-19-2006, 07:26 PM

No I can't do 600 at once I can do between 5 and 600.. normally that is about 10 or 12

you would not believe how many bets I used to win at the bar with that scam.

Get a few guys drunk and bet them $20 you can do between 5-600 push ups.. You know they all know you can;t do that many so they slap $20 on the bar.. you hit the floor and do 6-7 and they laugh and say they won but NO.. your bet was you could do between "5" and 600 and 6-7 is between that amount.. Easy peazy money.. hahaha

Of course make sure you can either kick their arses, run faster or take a beating because they always get mad.

i had tried doing an 8x8 style workout last year and that really did build up my endurance. ALthough i was benching 40lb dumbbells (when i normally can do the 75s) and squatting about 135 lbs (when i can do 250). I also took 15 second breaks. Its the breaks that kill ya!

but my workouts were done in 15 minutes it was amazing
