im haveing alot of problems with my press ups

i do 10 and i can push to 11 but no more unless i have a rest any ideas how to inprove on this?

Please tell me you're joking...

Chris, have you ever thought about doing them lying on your back? You may reach 15 or 16 that way round. Give it a go. I've just read yor other thread about running, and then lying in the road for 20 mins, is it very quiet where you live, surely someone must have a car? It might put you and us out of our misery.

10???Jeesus, I bet you Rob Parry can do more than that?? (merry Christmas Rob)....you must be tiny.
There is a post somewhere on this section about doing press ups in sets of threes. Have a look for it mate, its worked for me. Have a look

Come on Chris, you need to push yourself, but 10/11 your joking are you not.
My mother could do more.
Have a look at this thread viewtopic.php?t=973 it will give you some tips.
Goodluck.

Have a listen to Jay, he can do 3 sets of 70 . Jay you are my press up God. (im nearlly on 30 30 30.)

Beasta, despite my 50 years, 200 ab crunches, 60 press ups and lots of other things, I'm still working at getting the pull-ups sorted as the metal in my back hates being suspended from the bar, only two so far. so come on out and play all you wannabe's.

Must admit Rob, over the festive yuletide I have found myself suspended from many a bar....(usually spouting gibberish)

3x60 to precise.
And im no God.
Anyone can do it if they put there mind to it and train hard.

I do not attempt to go over 60 no more, there's no reason for me to do so.
Building for strength, not endurance no more.

The day I hit 3x60 Jay I will throw a party. I cant even hit 35 after a good warm up...If I can keep it at 3 x 30 till my shoulders are fixed then I'll step it up a level, I should be okay.

You will be ok, keep at it mate.

Jay,
Im not one to stir or anything like, but I heard rob.p call you a "big girls blo......"

Hey Chris, you gotta improve on your push ups, do sets of 20 (if you can) everyday, anytime, and make the reps more and more as you progress. Even Tony the pebble-chimp can probably push out 20!

Aye, Ross

Only because he is jealous and wants my big blue girls blowse.
Have told him many of times its too big for him, but he will not listen.
He only wants it for his gynecologist functions to look good.

TY for the reply,s i will try to push out 20 but i dont think i can


i manged 16 then my arms give way
on second set i could only do 10 but i think im gonna be able to do more tomorrow because my musles are huring
