Im 16 and am trying to improve the number of pushups i can do to get to the Citadel! i need to be able to do around 60, and lets just say that im not quite there yet! any help at all would be great!
	2005/05/13, 04:50 AM either way is good...but to get good at push ups you gotta do push ups..... try doing 10 sets of 10 push ups....rest 10 seconds....every weak...rest 1 second less between sets...so that eventuallu you'll do 100 push ups nonstop......do this on a leg day when your chest is fresh

I include them into my routines sometimes. -------------- I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle-victorious. --Vince Lombardi "Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it.
