Diamond pushups?

Question

what do u think of a man who weights 170lbs/77 kg and is able to do 65-70 diamond pushups in a row. full range of motion. all the way down all the way. and which muscle of his is the most strongest? and do u think he throws deadly punches as well? if ure an expert, need your opinions. thanks.

Answer 1

stronger punches come from strong core muscles and proper technique. 65-70 diamond pushups in a row is great but what else are you doing with that? if it is just the push-ups then its not so great. you need to workout diferently every time so you don't ovver work the same muscles. over working your body will actually result in making you weaker.

you should also be doing sit-ups, knees to elbows (hang from Pull-up bar and bring your knees to your elbows), pull-ups, air squats, air lunges, running (long distance and sprints), box jumps, jump-rope, flutter kicks, wall ball shots (this is when you do a full squat while catching a medicine ball off the the wall), etc for more information on fitness and nutrition go to crossfit.com

as for weight lifting it is always advisable to Wait till you are at least 18 to start. not that 18 is any magic number in connection to lifting but rather your body won't get the full benefit from it before then. plus even then heavy weights are not useful to boxers. more important to do lots of reps like 50 or even eventually after years working your way up farther than that. good luck. send a a message if you have any more specific questions.
