Pseudonym Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 max pushups?It's a quick and easy comp to start 2015 with. Let's do it. There'll be a Gymnation shirt/singlet waiting for the winner.  Would have to be lockout at the top and chest to floor so everyone completes the same range of motionAgreed. So the video needs to be filmed from an angle that shows this. What other rules do we need? If it's all one continuous set, do we need to specify a maximum time between reps - ie, you can't go to failure, rest for 30 seconds, then squeeze out a few more reps. So maybe a maximum of 3 secs between reps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FellowshipOfTheRon Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 yeah try keep the rules simple like :film at an angle that can see tricep lockout / rom (chest touch witihin roughly1 fist off floor?)Â max 3 sec between reps neither arms nor legs allowed to leave floor during the set or its overwould be keen as to enter, simple thing to aim for getting back to gym in jan like reach 40+ pushups by end of jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanstyles Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97tpFfsPcx4&list=UU9hiBbUJ-xG62MbxwS-VhzgHeres some 60kg weighted push ups I did towards the end of last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Can we do one for men to after that with weights? Heh. Sure! It just takes a bit more organisation. The thing about pushups is that it's quick and easy to run. Not as scary as a bench comp for newbs, and more of a level playing field (because I suspect a big bench doesn't necessarily translate directly into lots of pushups). Or... to avoid long videos of people churning out hundreds of pushups, maybe it's a speed thing? Most pushups in a minute? ryancourt05 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FellowshipOfTheRon Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 i doubt there will be anyone churning out hundreds of proper pushups lol. especially not this time of year... would expect most to cap off at around 30-50 unless they've been specifically practicing them which haven't seen in anyones logs. bench day today i'll try remember to do it after my compounds or something. will enter the bench press comp too just for a weetbix participation award.

ryancourt05 Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 I like the sound of this but I'll probably wait until i see what the competitions like haha hey Andrew what if you win and you already have both prizes??? Also Andrew what should i call my push ups we should do a comp on those!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Oh yeah, I meant to tell you about this comp, Ryan - I thought it sounded like you. what should i call my push ups we should do a comp on those!!Hah! You mean the medicine ball pushups? I reckon you'd be lucky to get any of these guys entering that one. The only other person who might be crazy enough is Ryanstyles... perhaps it's a Ryan thing. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pseudonym Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 From memory, Ryan does them with 3 balls - one under each hand, and one under his feet. He secretly wants to be a circus seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
