ok guys, since alot of u are doing this
i wanna tell u about 3 stretches u can do that will help recovery and perhaps improve your results
and increase flexibility for some

like, 10 minutes after u get done working out do these 2 stretches. breathe deeply while you do them, all it takes is like 1 minute of doing each.

also, u can do these stretches in between ur workouts, it will help in recovery.

triceps stretch

basically u do what is in the picture. at first u will just be pulling ur elbow towards the back of ur head, but when u gain more flexibility u will be pulling the elbow down your neck towards your back. don't pull down too hard just try to get a good stretch in your triceps

chest stretch

click here

that site is pretty cool i guess it shows how to do the stretch exactly

you may also want to do this shoulder stretch

click me!

Weird, I just met some kids who were trying to do this. People are going to have to bump this thread a month from now.

I did too many in boot camp, I'm never doing a pushup again unless I have a fitness exam. It would probably be good to try though, I don't think I can even do 100 anymore. Guess I'll give it a try.

YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH !!!!! :D:D:D I DID IT IN LESS THAN 3 WEEKS!! :D:D:D:D

I made the intinal test 3 weeks ago, I think, and I could do 55 push ups! A week later I started the program. Two weeks passed doing the 3rd column 3 days a week. And today after the second week ended on Friday I made the next test and I already could do 100 and more push ups :D:D:D:D

I am so happy right now^^

Why do you guys want to be able to do 100 pushups? I don't understand it. Its so arbitrary. Its like trying to be able to do 103 jumping jacks in a minute, or 200 consecutive calf raises.

I can't do 100 pushups because my IQ is too high and my penis is too big.

And why would you want to get 200 APM, or be able to run a marathon? It's an arbitrary number and nothing but a symbol, but a pretty satisfying symbol nonetheless, considering what it stands for.

hm...i'm confused that the average tl.net guy can do that many pushups. i can only do 10-12 and a friend of mine who does a lot of sport can do only 30-40 :/

please post videos of you doing pushups, i'm really curious.

Ughh, after a month of absolute inactivity, I'm barely scraping over 10 in a row. Here's to getting somewhat in shape!
