How many pushups can you do?


l2write, eggs and toast with chocolate milk usually for breakfast. Rice, meat/chicken/fish/spaghetti for lunch, usually followed by a pizza or 2 if I'm more hungry. Cereal or a sandwich, or anything else that the maid prepares for dinner.

Can do around 40-50, do it every morning/night.
 
Press ups only maintain muscle. You need to bench at least your whole body weight to start making gains that are worth it. 100KG for a person that weighs 80KG is about right and you need to work on the same ratio to make gains that are even worth going through that workout for.

Train, Diet, Rest that is all.
 
@"Danіel" Take Glen's advice^
 
I can to 10 clap push ups. Haven't done a normal push up in ages. I mainly do chinups and I do 10 reps 5 sets daily. I weigh 70KG plus I use ankle weights. Then the rest of my workout.
 

I will, and I told my mom to call the nutritionist lol.
And by the way, that @Daniel won't work for me, the "i" in my name is a different one, supposely it is a ukrain/ucrain character.
 

Good luck. And yeah I noticed and edited it.
 

Follow his advice and you're more likely to do more harm then good. If you're going to get into weights, start small, find your limits, and go from there.
 

I agree with @"Superman".
I'm not sure, I went to the gym after tennis for around 1 month, I did a few things that I don't know the name in english. But I stopped due to the shit load of homework I was getting. I might go back and also ask the dude that works there.
 

good luck with that (i went from 10-25 in 2 weeks) going for 50 straight
 
It's all based on your reps, not your weight. Doing more reps till muscle failure is better than doing more weight, less reps till muscle failure.

No, you shouldn't stick with small weights if you want to build muscle mass. Repetition of small weights is utilized for improving one's endurance. Lifting heavy weights with proper form is ideal for improvement.
 
If you want to build endurance, or muscular training its high weights, low reps for muscular training , and low weights, high reps for endurance

I think that's it learnt something for our gym session in HPE
 

I'm not talking small small. You should find out what what your 1RM (repitition max) weight is, then do 30% of your 1RM. That ratio will give you higher muscle proteins than that of your full 1RM or 90% RM. You are also at less risk to an injury. You shouldnt' stay on the same weight for too long. You should be finding yourself being able to lift stronger weights and you should be upping your weight. I started at 20KG's 10RM 5 sets about 6 weeks ago. I'm now at 50KG's 10-15RM and till muscle failure. In 6 weeks, I've gained about 6-7KG's of muscle. For the starting weeks, that's pretty good.
