Em Dott Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 recently before my dissertation took over my life properly I was doing 200 pressups a day and chin ups every 3 days (can't do many chin ups ).Want to actually go to a gym regularly though and do that 5x5 routine but money is tight right now and along with the eating properly, I don't think I can afford to go gym alongside it.

Anyone got any good stretch routines to fix a mashed back?I personally think it's a case of you keep doing more them more and more and eventually your endurance goes up and up. There was a point I was struggling to do 30/40. Just persisted and got to where I just men tioned. It has gone down now though. Haven't done any for ages.

Em Dott Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 It's mad to think some people can't do press ups. I remember doing them when I was like 7/8 at some football scheme I used to go on. I didn't realise they were difficult for some people until I saw my housemates trying to do them and not making it back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear that makes you taller than Goliath!?I think you should still be able to do them at regular gyms though as the handles are quite high. Just bend your legs.And the press up thing is literally just a case of doing them more. Some hench guys can't do them because they don't.

djbmc Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 i rekon not being able to do press-ups is more to do with technique than strength Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Esquilax Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 if ure arms cant take ure body weight then you wont be able to do them, but i guess that goes without saying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djbmc Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 if ure arms cant take ure body weight then you wont be able to do them, but i guess that goes without sayingit's the backs of ur arms and ur chest, but also ur abs to hold u in the correct position, although ur only lifting the top half of ur body so everyone should be able to do at least one.

spiderman Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 weight distribution to arm muscle must be the main decider on if u can do press ups or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
