he’d be far better off with weaker glutes due to bent knees than an injury caused by bending forward at the lower back.
Well, I don’t do good mornings anyway, but if I did, I’d be doing them primarily for strengthening my lower back, not my glutes. Squats and deadlifts work my glutes enough. Anyway, as I said, my hamstrings are so tight that they and my glutes are feeling the strain even with bent knees ;).
I do squats with about a shoulder width stance. But remember I have wide shoulders ![]()
as for greasing the groove and working up to the 100 pushups…while I agree with that exercise andactivity should be done throughout your day…what kinda bullsh*tted excuse is that?
What? The excuse that doing pushups every hour isn’t convenient for some people? Well then consider yourself lucky that you don’t have a job where you can’t take breaks every hour.

If you squatted with your legs in the same positioning as when you do pistols, it would probably work the muscles the same way.
Your body doesn’t care about positioning, really. I mean, different positions can change leverage, which has obvious effects, but that’s it. Pistols and barbell squats still work through the same ROM (straight leg to all the way down).
Buhdd…good point

what? no,no, no…normally I have no time for hrly breaks either but I mean this whole i think I can…I think I can…working up to the set…it’s harsh I know…but set your goal and focus just beyond, find your zone…I appreciate peoples position here but for freaks sake… its one hundred …ya know..1,…2, …3,…4…![]()
not that’s a huge deal..but I assume most of here are pretty fit right…yesterday I pumped out 150 and at shaolin they’re doing 300…one more time…why did you say you couldn’t? With all the different sets of various arm,chest ,houlder and upper back training that apparently gets done, it’d have to get up near 100 reps anyway right? I’d like to challenge each of yu today to 100 pushups!! If u can’t you cant…but I’ll respect all bonafide attempts and feedback on difficulties

no takers?..well ok then…but I’m telling you guys..yesterday, I just went crazy and did 350 total for the day…am I just like abnormal or something 'cause I think I could’ve done another 150 with a lil more push …are you SURE you can’t do 100???![]()
ps…just decided to shoot for 1000…now THATS some crazy sht…and you can all be my btches
…
LOL…just kidding…

I love it when a chick tells guys to be her b!tches.
So, BL, how many in a set each time?
Well, I gave it a go last Friday but I was running late to go home and didn’t have time to go to failure or to reply to your post. I did 50, but I struggled the last few. I still don’t reckon I could do 100. I also stopped after 30 and paused at the top for about 5s, and again after 40. If I was allowed to do that, I could probably keep going for a while but I viewed that as cheating. It is all about endurance, and I don’t have it in the pushup muscles. Then again, by your logic, if it’s only 100 e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, then what about 1000, 5000, 10000? Anyway, I’ve always had trouble with low power to weight ratio. Also doesn’t help that I’m carrying a significant % of body fat.
