Static push ups

I am thinking of adding static push ups my routine.
I found this from sethigherstandards.com (instructions how to do static pushups ):


The technique is this: after stretching a bit, place your arms slightly wider than shoulder width apart, and lower yourself only 3 inches. Hold this pose. Do not go too far down. Your arms should be almost (but not at) their point of complete lock-out.

Day 128 regular push ups

Day 128:

An easy day. I did 30 and was satisfied.

Doing push ups everyday - pros and cons

I have done push ups every day for 127 days now.
I have a lower limit of 30 a day.
I do it partly to improve my muscle mass, stamina and also endurance.
But I also do it to keep a mental discipline.
I cannot do 200 push ups every day without getting sore so therefor I let my body rest some days doing only 30.

Day 127 regular pushups

Day 127:

I did 222 regular push ups. 100 of those were done outside.
Previous record for November was 221 therefor I did 222.

2008-11-06

Day 125

Day 125 (5th nov):

I did 221 regular push ups today. Mainly 10 at a time.

100 push ups in 100 seconds

This is a 100 in 100 Challenge. The idea is to capture yourself on video doing 100 push-ups within 100 seconds. There isn’t any real prize except the reward of knowing that you were able to accomplish a pretty difficult feat. I will gladly make a list of all the people who decided to accept this challenge, achieved it, and provided a link to a video on YouTube or some other Internet video service.

From:

http://www.parttimepersonaltrainer.com/2008/09/05/100-push-ups-in-100-seconds-challenge/


I will not accept this challenge at this time . maybe next time around.
Currently I am able to do 100 push ups in 8 minutes - I think I could push it to 6-7 minutes.

November so far

I have done 30 push ups a day three days in a row now.
I have been feeling of tired and preconditioned to catch a cold so therefor I have been taking it easy.
