Bigbwii Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Will, Crash, Jay, etc how about once or twice a month we have max out competitions on agreed exercises? Winner gets Bragging rights!!! I promise I'll be easy on ya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willpeavy Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Cool, yeah I'm in. We need to get pics or videos of form up here to make sure we're all doing exercises the same way. If I kicked, swung, and went halfway up on pullups like most of the people I see at the gym then I could be doing twice as many reps.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashnburn Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Hmm.. kicking probably not.. but in the last few pull ups my body crumples up into a curve. Is that bad? I get 1-2 more out of this in the 2nd set. 1st set is all clean..2nd in the end starts body curling position. Is it that the CoG of the body is changed and the moment (mass x displacement) changes so it becomes easier since im decreasing displacement.

Actually I think swinging some, and doing partial reps is a good way to train when you're working on developing the strength for pullups. I was just talking about it in terms of this contest though, about having rules for form so everyone is on fair ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willpeavy Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Good photos Big. I'm gonna try to max out in early to mid May and I'll post numbers then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Only 390 squats BB? If you do them everyday you should be able to do them nonstop for an hour within a few weeks. Should be able to hit one to two thousand pretty easy. But it can be bad for the knees.... (Also all that leg mass will weigh you down too much for other bodyweight exercises...) I just might get 420 chins by the end of May... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbwii Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 Ok guys Yeah Jay I really wimped out on the squats, I think I could of got 500, I never did squats because they used to slow me down for sprinting when I played Rugby do I never did em. I'm pretty weak on the chins and squats but as far as regular stuff I'll blow you guys clean owt da water! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Yeah (BW) squats just slowed me down too. They really didn't seem very functional. Just extra leg mass to lug around. Really heavy barbell squats can potentially increase sprinting speed though. 420 chins in an hour is really (extremely) good BB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbwii Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 Yeah it's gonna be hard for me to beat that one!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbwii Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 READ EM AND WEEP YOU SQUARES!!!!! Well my intention was to do my new routine but I did 3 sets of 50 push ups and it didn't even touch me!!! so I ended up sticking to the press ups and did an all time personal best of 1900!!! This time I just kept on going and going, I didn't feel dead afterwards like I usually do either. UMA BAAAAD MAAAAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 http://www.recordholders.org/en/list/pushups.htmlRecord for pressups in an hour is 3,800. So you're a little better at chinups than pressups BB. (chinups record is 701 in an hour) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willpeavy Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I did a bunch of one arm pushups at home throughout the day Sunday until my upper body was fried. Then I really pushed myself and did a chest/tri/shoulder workout with weights at the gym on Monday. I'm going to rest those muscles for at least 3 or 4 days until they are fully recovered and then try to max out on one arm pushups per hour at the end of this week. I'll post numbers on here!

Bigbwii Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 I don't lie, check out my videos!....I didn't train for it I just did it....it's really not that hard to believe because it was broken down into sets. You just keep on going for an hour and see what happens! Maybe you should try it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
