Any of you guys try http://www.hundredpushups.com/ ?

It is a fun little program that you do over the course of 6 weeks. I have actually noticed significant gains myself. They also have a 20+ pullups that I am trying out.

This is not a thread about squats, dead lifts, turkish get ups, or bicep curls.

Looks like a good program.

For girls.

umad?

Nope. Pushups are a good exercise and I just thought that maybe some of my fellow DoDers could benefit from trying it out.

I dunno if could handle this.

Oh well. Hopefully somene will benefit from it. You guys could always try the 50+ pullups program.

Of course DoD'ers can benefit from pushups considering 99% of them don't know what a barbell is. That's an unfair statement and you know it, bro.

Well I personally hate lifting weights and some people don't want to take the time to learn how to lift with good form. this is a good program to get a bit stronger with a clear goal at the end.

Plus, lifting heavy weights just makes you bulky.

lolwat.

gtfo. i will not be gotten to.

i also went from 40 to 80 within 3 weeks.

anyone do tabata's?

So, why does my wrists/hands hurts when im doing pushups?
NOT the arms, just the hands.

because you are weak.

Lifting heavy means you'll just get bulky. If you want to look like Arnold, lift heavy for 6 months. I don't want that. So I agree with pushups.

Probably buckling your hands rather than keeping your wrists straight. As in, your form sux.

you can still gain mass from body weight exercises, but they won't be as significant as lifting.

MatthewKuruse, did you ever try kettlebells? And do you know any good crossfit gyms in the peninsula?

Ive messed around with kettlebells but never had a set workout plan that I stuck to. I don't know about crosscut gyms.. I do know about bjj gyms though

Dennis you are above CrossFit.

In my head, when I read about crossfit, it seems to make some sense. And then I see it, and it makes zero sense.

They all look so strong though.

It doesn't. The greatest gains in strength/muscle occurs in traditional bodybuilding, not a 15 minute olympic lifting circuit routine. It's great for burning calories, but in terms of burning fat or gaining mass/strength, it doesn't compare to traditional lifting.

Explaining this to my friends who have gone head over heals into the crossfit/paleo cult is almost as bad as the ceebz recoil thread.

100 pushups?

Never been to jail, eh?

I can understand the community aspect of CrossFit. It's a bunch of people devoted to improving their health. It's not as miraculous or impressive as they make it sound, obviously, just look at kipping and prepare to LuLz. But it's a tight-knit community. I understand that and can respect their goals.

Paleo, on the other hand, is so downright stupid it just hurts. How people can be so accepting of what they're told by those trying to sell more books is beyond me. Stop drinking the Kool-Aid and do a little research of your own.

BUT CARBS KILL YOU! WHEN WE WERE MONKEYS WE DIDN'T EAT CARBS!

No, bro! Carbs are fine! Fruit and veggies! But gluten, dairy, and legumes? That shit will kill you.

Check this fucking shit out:



Anything over 150g carbs = insidious weight gain. LULZ WHY AM I NOT OBESE THEN? I cut on 200g carbs per day. Fucking eating a 16 oz. sweet potato today. Come at me, starchy carbohydrates.

Speaking of which, I need to start working my fat ass out again.

lol, if you are eating less than 100g of carbs a day, you'de have to eat so much food to get to your basal metabolic rate.

Also, is that supposed to be a jumping, spear wielding, paleo person?

You wouldn't have to eat THAT much more. I mean, look at ketogenic diets. Those bros are eating loads of fat. Olive oil, nut butters, fatty meats, etc. Shit is calorie-dense as a mofo.

Also, is that supposed to be a jumping, spear wielding, paleo person?

Yeah bro, that's what all paleolithic people looked like!

Make sure it's white grain, bro. Gotta spike dat insulin post-workout for teh anabolic state nom sayin?

So this guy definitely don't work his back?

I just started lifting again after a 5 or 6 week break. Holy shit do I hurt.

I have to admit pushups or any bodyweight excise really helps make you lose weight. I lost 90-100 lbs in 1 year (40-50 lbs in 3-4 months) from changing my diet, when I eat, drinking more water and doing pushups, crunches, and some physical labor.

That's how I went from:
