All right!! No problem on the full push-ups. My pre-event "informal poll" made me believe the bent-knee push-ups were preferred among the wimmins, but looks like that's not the case. Whichever way you want to go ladies, that's fine by me. |
Can I do bent-knee push-ups?

i must have it.
lol. um, how do you calculate your max bench? i don't even have a normal bench press, just a machine that's vertical...
this will coincide nicely with my free gym use at school, where i hope to abuse the chinup bar and bench press. oh, and when is the yankee turkey day? just so i can adjust my calender.
good luck to all! |
Turkey Day is Nov.27th. And as for the bench, I'm thinkin' the vertical stack on your machine should be fine, there's pounds/kilos labeled on there, no? Any expert lifter opinions out there? |
Jrjo, 200 lbs on a machine is nowhere near like doing 200 lbs on free weights - the machine is considerably easier. |
lol i'll be happy to push my weight. (and it sure ain't 200)

Okay I maxed out on several things this morning and now my arms are whipped.
Push-ups: 35
Bench press: 225 lbs
Dips: 20
Pull-ups: 14
Definitely room for improvement on push-ups and bench press. No chest measurement yet.

Wow, this would be tough for me..
I do 540 flat floor crunches every morning, and 100 crunch bench crunches every evening.
I do weights 4 times a week, benching 200 lbs max, but usualy work with 190 lbs. I lift 90 lbs with the EZ bar on preacher curls, and 90 lbs on the tricep bar. Lat pull downs and rows are at 90 lbs.
I also pack in protein and creatine, as well as a host of other stuff (I keep GNC and Vitamin Shoppe's in business).
I am worried that any more would degrade my running.
jrjo, how do I work around this???

Get your max press, pushups, & measurements down sometime the next few days. And since you're a 'regular' lifter, you get the higher pointage for improvements. You're lookin' like the best for the max points, so others with improvements will be giving you a run for points there, which is how this whole thing stays competitive

Joe is not in for this contest.
Even though we just got a weight room at the PO PO I just cannot dedicate extra time to this contest.
Interesting idea though
