Three years ago I couldn’t even do 1 pushup. Today I did 60

@jesscat 60? good for you, i just hope they were all good ones, saw a dude at the gym hammer out some, he'd maybe claim he did 30, 40, 50, whatever his goal was, i wouldn't have given him 1

 

[jesscat]

@jlynn96 My form was pretty good up until the last 5 or so where I had to really push haha.

@jesscat Congratulations thats a huge milestone, can I ask what progressions you did to build up your strength

 

[jesscat]

@jesscat Good job be proud of yourself

@jesscat Dude, congratulations. That's a massive accomplishment.

You've probably got a bunch of warnings to balance out your push training with pull training It's easy to mess yourself up. And don't forget to take good care of your shoulders, I found dead hangs to be a total life saver. Best wishes!

@jesscat Congratulations bro keep pushing

@jesscat Oh Shi I read pull-ups and was thinking not a way in hell

@jesscat I went from 0 push-ups to 3 x 20. Good job!

When I switched to doing them all the way from the ground, my push-up count halved, heh.

@jesscat I’m confused, not hating but why should I do so many pull ups? My back game is great and I’ve literally trained to do 12 because I’m joining military and passes that goal up, I can do 20 n then sum but why should I aim for more? I’ve had people tell me that they can have done like 80-100 pull ups and just never understood what for. Now that I’m thinking about it, maybe it’d be good if I stopped going to the gym for whatever reason and needed to or wanted to keep working out. Like just pull ups, push ups and cardio.

 

[dzikazambezi]

Oop, push ups

 

[kyrie417]

@jesscat Congrats man!! 60 is legit!

 

[aoibhinngrainne]

@jesscat Are we talking about 1-2 second pause at the beginning and the end? Or those half rep quick pushups I see on YouTube

 

[jesscat]

@aoibhinngrainne Not pull-ups

 

[aoibhinngrainne]

@jesscat My bad, I meant pushups.
