In the Arnold Schwarzenegger book that I have entitled "The New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding" he says:

 

"Why unt derr any progrems specifically developed for veeeeemen (women) in dis encyclopedia? Da primary reason is vat der foondamentals off muscle training unt diet programs are essentially da same fer bove sexes."

 

So there's no sexism in bodybuilding

 

But he also said

 

"I need jor clothes, jor boots and jor motorcycle"

 

So I dunno what to believe

puts me 400 reps short of Daywalkers showing, and 45,401 short of the 24 hour world record

 

That's awesome, only 45,000+ to go

 

Great job on the 600. I need to make another attempt to break 1000. We'll see who gets there first Will!

 

Best of luck to you!

what is mean't by 'non-stop'? I mean, if it's literally non-stop... that's intense.

 

Also the one-armed push-ups. Can they switch arms? Say do 50 on the right arm, then do 50 on the left etc?

 

Thanks for the numbers man, they kick my ass

I'm not sure exactly what the non-stop pushup rules are, but for the one arm record you can't switch - you have to do them all with the same arm

Hey Vegan Momma,

 

Awesome job with the 300 push-ups!

 

You look pretty awesome, and your legs look great too. Do you do a lot of cardio? I remember the close ups of your calves a while back and they were pretty awesome. What kind of leg training do you do?

 

Again, congrats on the 300 push-ups, that is powerful!

 

That reminds me, I need to do some now

Thanks Robert! I just may be your vegan fitness model for 2006 if I keep my butt in gear!

 

I've been easing on cardio and increasing weight training during the past month since joining the site. Previously, I was doing cardio at least 6 days a week - consisting of walking 4 miles with leg weights each day. That's all the leg training I did/do. But, it's been enough .

 

Problem area pre-kids and ESPECIALLY post-pregnancy is the midsection. But, I'm burning it. Slowly.

Awesome work guys!

 

Will, I totally forgot to say Nice Job on the 750! You beat me but 25 or something. I got something like 725 one day, but now with Topher here, watch out......1000+ is in the near future I'm sure.

 

Keep on pushin!

 

-Robert
