I have been doing push ups every 2-3 days for a few months now but when I started I was in the Weak Category according to the test I took. So basically if you get down and give me as many as you can right now whats your #? 1 - 10 = weak 10 - 15 = average 15 - 20 = strong 20 - 25 = muscular 25 - 30 = powerhouse I am at around 30 without problems now, so what are you?
This is bull crap. It's not how strong you are it's other factors. I know people who can bench 140 kg yet can't do 15 pushups..
Well sure, pushups and bench pressing work different muscle groups. Its all on what your trying to achieve really
One question: what the hell are push up grips for? do they make it easier or harder or what? I say some for 30 bucks and was like omg rip off... my rope also got 40 big ones.. ball bearings and all
It's a little bit harder, but the main thing is that the grips are easier on the wrists than if you just do regular push-ups. BTW, is this a chart for 10 year olds or something? I wouldn't call myself a "power-house", haha.
first, how much you weight? Do you use stright form? Do you do it with speed? push up is not a good way to measure strength. here are some of my number deadlift 3 rep 315 lbs squat 3 rep 225 clean & jerk 125 bench 5 rep 180 (i suck at bench) GRIM is going to come call me a pussy soon
I just did 30 there now, but I wouldn't consider myself a powerhouse.. Would the grips not changes the whole dynamics of a push-up, I would have thought your forearm and pectorals at least are being exercised a little differently?..
