Quote from The Llama :
Right. Week 1 is week 3. Although she'll be on week 1. Which I assume means that 7 days in pushups for a man is like 21 for a woman.


I guess a better question is: Is 20 pound for the weight like 30 pounds if a guy lifts?
FTFY Whee

I guess a better question is: are we all going to start the program on Monday?
I was probably gonna start tomorrow (well, today), but I suppose we could all start on Monday.

You're all f'ing crazy to do any pushups at all without proper supervision. Did anyone sign a waiver? This website is dangerous and irresponsible. I'm reporting this thread to the FCC.

Wise choice bro. You might twist up your biceps so bad they become triceps!

Quote from tp4tissue :
Pushups are a terrible exercise because it's very very difficult to balance the load evenly between both arms.

Most people end up using their dominant arm way more than the other.

AND very often they engaged their shoulders and pivot on their weaker arm in a rotating motion. This leads to the upper and lower chest being unbalanced on the dominant arm.
What if their calves rest against their triceps? My wife does pushups that way.

Hey, it's none of your business what I do with my body. Pushups are no worse than the heroin I do, and I don't see you railing against that. This is the problem with America, people who want to get all nosy in other peoples lives.

And it's "brah" not "bro" noob.

I think I am going to try this, I have been thinking about it since OP. I did not think I could do 20 but I did 23 last night. (The last couple may have not been perfect form though) laugh out loud

I'm excited to see the responses! I'll definitely start tomorrow.

You just can't win with tp4tissue. Either girls are too fat and should put more time into exercise than their makeup or pushups, as easy as they are, are not good exercise and people shouldn't do them.

Ok, I'm in!

When I was working out all the time I could do about 30 at a time. Now.....not so much. Frown

It will be great to get back to that level. I don't have time to go to the gym every day, just on weekends. This will be a good way to keep up my fitness stuff during the week.

The boy is joining in as well. Whee

Pushup! It looks interesting but I am not going to strengthen my muscle as I did this much enough in high school. We even held competitions of pushups at that timeSmilie

Yay! Should I draw it out and do them over, say 45 minutes? Starting now? I like to do some of them on my knuckles and many of them (30-50) with my wrists rotated in the reverse position so it benefits my triceps more.

Oops....already done.


Sorry. Sadwalk

I can't wait to be able to do a push up again.. Frown




Good luck though! Would love to join if my wrist was all healed up. Perhaps in a few weeks once I'm out of the cast and into physical therapy.
Were you um.....yanking something when that happened???

I don't think damsel is just a girl though. She's a chick to be reckoned with! I recon I'd like to....oh wait....I got distracted.
