You can also do 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 then back up to ten. Works well for me.

i also do the pyramid press-ups but the way i do mine is 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 but thats only 55 press-ups all together maaybe start from 12 or something.

is that 55 in 2minutes?

*Spamming rectified.

Starting on 20 and dropping down a rep with a little rest in between is good. If you go from 20-1 you do 210 reps.

i think you spammed the mouse button mate..

but thanks il try that. so 20-19-18-ect ect down to 1 then rest then back up sounds interesting il have a go.

thanks again

You could also do what i do somtimes, when your watching tv wait for an advert to come on and do as many press ups as you can do until the programme you was watching comes back on.

i did pyramids before i went to prmc 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 then back up to 10. although when i was doing this i was fresh, try to go a run or something before you do pressups as when you are on prmc you will have less energy due to the 3 miler and bleep test.

Same as what I do fella!

I do 30 press-ups for pretty much every 'lazy offence' such as coming onto the computer, in every commercial break on tv, forgetting to call people ect....

It's working well, I think I'm doing about 500 push-ups a day because of it!

I think I might starting doing that. As for the advert idea, I do it often but I can never last to the adverts finish . If I were to just keep my arms extended for as long as possible will that help?

I found actually aiming to keep going for 2 mins helped massively, I used to only be maxing out and stopping which took about 45secs to a min getting about 30 or 35, when I started going for 2 mins I improved much more (started doing twice as many )

or try what i do. whenever there is a football match on watch it. for every free kick (that included handballs, fouls and offsides) do 5 marine style pressups. its well worth having a go i love it

[SWAScotty]

pyrimid Press up is that just a Stamina builders term for a joe bloggs press up ?

or is this a what your on about? because im crap at these

[Brian-]

No, it's working your way up to a number and then back down again. Or the other way around if you want.
