Are u into strength training and exercises? what do u think of this?

Question

helo all. do u consider yourself a fitness freak or something like that? im a fitness freak myself. i work out regularly. and just now i gave a try to something called "feats of strength". just push myself to the limit. in both muscular strength and muscular endurance. this is what i did just now, i weight 170lbs/77kg and i did 12 pushups in a row with a 120lbs/55kg person standing on my shoulder blades. all the way down all the way up. 12 pushups in a row with 120lbs standing on my back,. and then i rest and take a breath for less than 30 seconds and continue with 35 diamond pushups in a row. no more 120lbs on my back. just my bodyweight for 35 diamond pushups in a row. honestly, what do u think of my feats of strength for a guy who weights 170lbs/77kg and stands at 5'11/180cm. thanks and have a nice day.

Answer 1

Yeah, strength is nice, but it isn't everything. If you don't have a strong core then all that other muscle doesn't mean anything.

If you are truly interested in being a bad a**, then work on your speed and your core muscles.

The Reason Being: You could be Six Foot 8, 250 lbs and pure muscle. But if you aren't fast & you don't have a strong core, then you are just an enlarged version of a 5 Foot, 130lb lightweight.

Oh, and you might want to move on to free weights and such. Because push-ups is by far one of the slowest techniques to building and training muscles.

Answer 2

Seriously dude, what is wrong with you. Are you a computer. Because you asked this question like 20 times with different screen names. Lay off the crack, please.

Guess what?

Chicken Butt!

Answer 3

I only put on 60lb. back pack on me and do 60 push ups. I don't really do diamonds but I can do more than 50 of those. And I weigh more than 180lbs. So I'm not too sure but I think it's better than average people.

Answer 4

I like the idea of pushing the limits, too, but I'm not sure I like the idea of riding someone on your shoulder blades. If they slip, you could suffer some serious spinal repercussions.

Look in to either modified dips and chin ups and using either gravity boots or an inversion table.

Any weight you add to intensify your workout should be stabilized and secure.

Good luck.

Answer 5

Mate, give it a rest, you are strong, so what, a lot of people are. You bragging about how many push up's you can do just erodes what you have achieved. Instead of bragging about what you have done see if you can better your achievement.
