biggles Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 30 well done with the elbows close to the torso and bending until the chest is near the floor. If you want to try some tough ones try doing with the tip of your fingers or closed fists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodhound Posted April 19, 2004 Author Share Posted April 19, 2004 nope , the really tough one is u push up from the floor and clap ur hands behind ur back and have to get them to the front again for the landing. and keep doing that 40 times at a go!! i saw that in a fitness mag. it was under "Harcore Exercises" i can manage to touch my hips. but no way i can clap my hands behind my back. it require to push urself up upto 45 degress. there was a sequece of pics in the mag where some guy was doing it. i used to do with close fists but cant be bothered nowadays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do push-ups claping hands but never heard of claping hands behind your back, I'll try that some day. But that trains your speed and reaction, doing push-ups on the tips of your fingers or with closed fists trains your finger and wrist strenght.

[Tycho?] Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Around 30. 20 triangle pushups, where you put your arms together so that your thumb and forefinger meet. I do those so my hands are around my stomach, pretty tough. Also 20 with closed fists. I usually stop those because my fists hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 What does how many pushups can you do? have anything to do with science. 40-50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radagast Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Probably around 35-40. Personally, I feel that using dumb bell excercise's work alot better, thus hardly ever do pushups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodhound Posted May 23, 2004 Author Share Posted May 23, 2004 ''] I usually stop those because my fists hurt. i have a pretty strong fist. i usually go round punching walls and stuff. I made a massive dent on my flats plaster. wish i had a camera. my wrist was out for a week. simple things like turning the door handle or turning the tap on was virtually impossible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloodhound Posted May 23, 2004 Author Share Posted May 23, 2004 there are actually two dents. the bigger one made by my Middle knuckle and the smaller one by the one on the right of the middle. The bigger one has approx dimensions. of 2 cm in diameter and about 4-5 mm in deep at its deepest the smaller has diameter of about 1.5cm and about 2-3 mm deep. But u have to see it to really appreciate how big it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
