push up competition

[sothex]

so i have had several pushup competitions with my english teacher and he creams me every time. I quit lifting just recently to do calisthenics and cardio, so i think this is a good time to train for a pushup competition. Before i could never do many because i was always doing very low reps with heavy weight.

right now i can probably do about 50 pushups in one set with difficulty. In about 8 weeks time i want to get it up to 200 in one set, otherwise i don't think i will be able to win. Does anyone have any advice on how i could get my pushups up in this short amount of time?

Back in the day I used to do push up's twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. Each time i would add one rep. I was up to 100 straight, no rest before I got bored.

going from 50 to 200 pushups is extreme. I can do about 80 myself.

get on the bench press and lift heavy. It will make each push up easier if you are stronger.

So a guy who benches the most weight has the most endurance in shoulder , tricep and chest muscles?

Are you for real dude?

Why are you trying to start shit by trying to put words in dabuffguy's mouth.

You follow him around and post worthless garbage in every post are you gay for him or something?

Don't be such a tool.

LOL!!!!!
I havin' fun at this


Seriously, prove that increasing weight on bench press will mean increase number of pushups. That's kinda like saying increasing squat means I should be able to run 1 mile farther at my current pace

Wow. Someone ban this guy, PLEASE.

i think pushups are more of a endurance thing id do what was previously said and do them and more sets.. maybe if you can do 50 straight now next try 2 sets of 50 and then 3 sets of 50 then jump back and try like 1 set of 60 then 2 sets of 60 or something on those lines. i know the more i did pushups the easier they got. bench doesnt hurt though since you are using those muscles as well i wouldnt throw them out all together

Show me on word in my post that said benching heavy will increase the amount of reps you can do. I don't see anything of the sort.

Is that what I said?


Did I say:

"The guy who benches the most weight has the most endurance in shoulder, tricep and chest muscle." ?

I didn't say that at all.
