Single plane exercises are overrated

 

[*L*E*G*A*C*Y*]

200. That's what I've been able to do now easily since I started working out again.

So y'all nikkas gonna let this nikka come through with the duck tales and not say nuffin?

Not necessarily lying.

If he's only 5'4 and 160 he's pretty big for his height. No homo

Here's the most important question though...

How low are yal going down with the bar? To your chest? I'm 5'10, like 155-160, I used to start on the bench doing 185 but I wasn't going all the way down with it. Mainly because I would be working out solo and had no spot. I could get a good 2 sets of 8 in before going down in weight.

I started working out with some friends more often now, and one of my boys was all like...



"Kiss your chest with the bar"

So I said fukk that and just went down. We do 4 sets of 8, I start at 135 now and just go up to 175

I'm trying to get to the vertical pushup level, where your feet don't touch the ground. I don't know if I'll make it there, but that's my goal. I don't even use weights anymore, straight bodyweight. I'm 225, so it's a good workout. Muscular endurance and explosion > raw strength. You'd also be surprise how much your max increases after doing straight pushups for about 6 months, but either way, I rather be able to do 100 pushups in a minute, or 225 pounds 25 times, than do 400 once.

Im not hating, because i agree on the pushup tip actually....pushupps and other calisthenics are great for strength....but how is the bolded possible? You doing greater than a pushup per second for a whole minute. My rate slows down significantly after like 30 . Sounds all kinds of wrong my nikka lol

I lift dolo so the first set I can hit my chest with no problem. Midway thru the next set I'm like , the third set I'm usually cheating the entire way through

Thing is, I wouldn't even be cheating that bad, but after hearing, "Go down lower" after every rep I was like

It's all good though. My workouts have improved since doing them with my boys.

Personally, my best when I was in high school was 64. I have a friend who did 80 that same year ( ) But my point was that I would RATHER be able to do 100 pushups in a minute than lift 400 pounds.

Oh, and I just checked the official world record, it's 140, so 100 is definitely possible:

Hey...it takes time to get to that point if you are NOT working out like that. We are no longer a society dominated by agriculture where you gained muscle by simply working on the farm or even some industrial jobs. The average male is lifting a pencil, coffee mugs, or even using heavy machinery to help lift things........I'm at 185 on the bench right now, but trying to get back to 225 where I will probably be satisfied with......but I was struggling to get to 185...takes time and disclipline....

I've never maxed, but when I used to do it, I repped out at 185 (10x), honestly, clean and jerk is almost an aerobic workout, I start sweating like I'm at the equator when doing those. I was able to do more than 185, but never while maintaining my form. I start using my lower back when I got tired over that weight

I always touched my chest. That's why I always check the bench has the lower hooks. If it only has one hook, I never push the limit. Nothing worse than struggling and waiting for some azzhole to casually walk over and help you while the fate of your sternum hangs in the balance
