push up competition

[DaveTSI]

What makes no sense is you saying someone who works 1RM on bench is automatically guaranteed 100 pushups. Show any science whatsoever that Type I muscle fiber plays a large part in bench 1RM. Or any other exercise for that matter.

Also show that strong type IIa,x,or b muscle fiber will enable one to do say 100 pushups while completely ignoring diet weight and bodyfat %

This is what makes no sense

wow you are an idiot

just keep putting words in peoples mouths throughout this thread so you can sound smart ok

you missed my point completely

Uuum
From what I read you didn't have a point

You said that you can do 80-100 pushups because you work bench 1RM.
Show anything whatsoever that bench press strength translates to 100 pushups.

Infact I just hinted that the answer is probably nothing

i have ZERO endurance, ive trained for 1RM's for the last 4 years, but i can still blow out 80-100 pushups easily becaue my benchpress is so strong.

Doublecheck your posts

He makes a habit of doing this, talks a lot tries to twist words but really says absolutley nothing. When people talk like that, try and twist words it;s a clear indication that they have absolutley no idea what they are talking about

I'm still waiting to see the video of his great deadlift he keeps talking about.

lol missing my point completely. whatever dude. again reading comprehension. the funny thing is that 99% of the people reading this thread know what i was saying, and you are arguing here with me(and others) twisting words around looking like an assholeand everyone can see it.

I gotta go with gjohnson on this one. When I graduated basic training I could rack out some push ups. 100+ but I couldn't bench more than 250. I've been able to bench 450+ for 3 years and I can't touch 100. It has to do with the ability to endure lactic acid. Breathing, technique (how you position your hands, elbows, and shoulders) are more important than strength. I'm not downplaying strength, but I didn't lift weights when I could do massive amounts of pushups. Body fat is also a factor. If you wanna get to 100+ pushups, do burnouts 10 times a day. We did sets of 25 over a hundred times a day. In 2 weeks I went from doing 55pushups in 2 minutes to doing 85 in 80 seconds.

ooh my God, I'm still trying to remember how many pushups we did getting "scuffed" just from fucking up fireguard... It's generally the skinny guys that do the most pushups because
1. they have the least body weight
2. they're relative VO2Max is higher due to point number 1
3. less LBM that needs blood pumped to it

It's not really a question of strength at all. But it's interesting hearing the weight room "talk" get thrown around the boards. Unfortunately most of it's wrong

 

[gjohnson5]

Anyway , I've been working endurance stuff (like pushup) because I do believe it can help lung capacity, heart muscle strength as well as skeletal muscle strength. These are military style workouts anyway, but I believe combined with regular 5x5 type work , I think both can be increased. So I'm trying it just to see if it's better then just doing a workout split 5x5 alone

LOL at you talking in circles...
"It will help those reps go easier"

What the heck does that mean?

I'll tell you what it means. It means pushing your body weight in push up position will be physically easier because your strength is greater, making your body weight seem lighter therefore easier to perform a repetition. It really shouldn't require an explanation to figure that out.
