Those of you that fight at over 200lbs. How many push ups can you do in a row?

[Jazzo]

I don't have a number for myself. I used to do a lot when I trained in sports in my secondary school (High School) days, but recently have only used them after a chest workout.

I tend to favour explosive work most of the time, and so with push ups I usually work with a clap in between, or let myself explode from a slight dip whilst my palms are on bricks.

I could test myself at the minute but I am working on getting back into shape.

I imagine that the smaller guys who box can go on all day, which is why I have aimed this at guys who are over the 200lb mark.

Cheers

You need to tell us how many you can do first.

[SweetScience]

Damn Jazzo, this is the first time I see you post in the training section

I already explained that part :twisted:

I think that 100 would be a good standard for me though I have never trained for that sort of thing.

I am more interested in explosive training; I imagine that bodyweight exercise is bread and butter for you guys. So spit it out :yep

I am sticking to this place since I badly need to get back in shape.

I have been ill for a while but I can finally work out in relative ease at the moment. I'm just back from the gym.

One thing that puts me off is the ignorance regarding weight training, but I will fix any errors that I see.

wouldnt pullups be much more harder for the heavier guys than pushups

Certainly.

Wide grip pull-ups can be a nightmare for a big guy who is not in shape.

I fight at exactly 200 pounds. Does that count? I can do maximally about 100.

Do you expect me to change the whole thread just for you?

220lbs. 45 push ups

[PedroDePacas]

About 50 push-ups. I'm 215lbs and slightly out of shape at the moment. And I hate pull-ups.

[Jazzo]

220lbs. 45 push ups

When I am a trim 230 I guarantee 100 :good

Pretty pointless for me but I just picked up a burning desire to hit 100 a few days ago for some reason.

[Jazzo]

Actually, I don't want to focus too much on pointless crap.

Well, put it this way - I will have an eye toward it.

[cheech]

In college I was 230lbs, by no means any condition to fight. But I could do 100 pushups since I worked on it daily.

[AK-47]

Hmm well im about 250lbs and i can do about 20 pushups...i know thats bad but im starting to get back into shape for boxing as ive been away and concentrating on studies for a few years.

When I'm over that weight at 202 pounds I can do the same amount. :lol:

[Rakim]

I'm only 180lbs and I can do 30, max.

100 I had my first fight @ 175 and my last @ 229 and I always did 100 never really thought about doing anymore didn't seem nessasary
