why do we suck?

[sanjuro_ronin]

why do we suck?

Because we can't do them.
Well, I can, but you puny mortals can't !
:p

Wait, I can break someone's jaw, I can break someones nose, I can break someones arm and I can use a good grab bag of techniques with regularity and because I can't do what amounts to gymnastics I suck?

Well, back to the pommel horse for me I guess...*sigh*

A couple of weekends ago we had friends over and one of the guys there is doing that px90 thing and he was showing how he can do these "jumping push-ups".
So of course I get asked, can I do them?
Well, I pumped out 5 and then I showed them how REAL MEN do push-ups
:D
The g-rated version of course.

I first did some slap push-ups to warm up, then did a few one handed alternating jumping push ups and then pumped out 3 planche push-ups.
Everyone was thorughly impressed and all the women wanted me, of course.
:D

The next day I could barely move !
Glory days indeed.

A tad too heavy at 173.

[Frost]

A tad too heavy at 173.

i was only joking, my days of two finger one hand press ups, or one handed explosive puschups ended the day i tipped the scales at 220 :(

but hey on the plus side my deadlift and powerclean went up!

Yeah, the body weight ratio thing sucks !
I recall getting upset when I could only do 6 chins with 35lbs on a dip belt and before I could do 8 !
Of course that was @ 160 as opposed to 175, LOL !

[David Jamieson]

a man of 200 lbs would destroy any of those skinny ass fairies anyway.

so stuff your yoga pushups!

Ill be a monster in some other way! lol

good stuff man... although i noticed a wide a$$ in every related video list.

i want some rings. :(

[GeneChing]

Now I've got an extra 2 dozen pounds on that. :o

If you look at my old Sifu Wing Lam's Chin Na Training Methods and Tools DVD (http://www.wle.com/products/VCN06D.html), there's footage of me doing 3-finger push-ups while clapping in between dips. I used to train that as part of an iron finger regimen. Now all I can do is wear the letters off my keyboards with it.

I bet if I dropped those 2 dozen pounds I could do those again. :p

uh...I can do those. They are no where near the difficulty level of the planche push ups

[sanjuro_ronin]

hey, give me break, i'm trying here !
LOL !
:p

[kfson]

I hope to be able to do the first three before years end. Those rings will have to wait for my next life.

[uki]

that doopy guy who did the handstand push-ups can still have his purdy face torn off. :D

[goju]

i never got into push ups at all

just lift **** weights:D

[Dragonzbane76]

my days of two finger one hand press ups, or one handed explosive puschups ended the day i tipped the scales at 220

same here, i can still do some of the more 'exotic' calastinics but i just get more from lifting and my cardio routines.

[Frost]

pushups are a good way to teach you how to hold the core correctly and good for people new to lifting and can also be good for muscular endurance depending on how you do them... but i agree weights are better for most people
