When people say they can do 50+ pushups I don’t believe them

In one go? I can hardly do like 15 strict chest to the ground. In a training? Yeah, I do hundreds when doing burpees. Like yesterday 15' of 3 pump burpees every ~20 seconds is equal to 135.

If you are even doing pushups you probably are on some stupid ass david goggins shit. He looks like he's running away from the mental institution.
>>
>>77565301
there were 65+ year olds in prison that could easily do 50+ pushups
being fat or weak is not acceptable
>>
>>77565331
I don't know who David Gaggins is but whatever. Push ups are fine. Burpees are fine. I can do whatever I want.
>>
>>77565301
I feel the same when people claim they can do 15+ pull-ups
>>
I can do 50+ push ups and 15+ pull ups. I can also do 20+ boner ups in your mom
>>
One summer break in high school, either the summer between sophomore-junior year or junior-senior year I challenged myself to do as many pushups as I could at once, once per day. Started at like 16 push ups and did over 60 at once by the end of summer. Doable for sure.

You can easily double your pushup count if you just cheat the way most people do, you do a half rep, you keep your body floppy so you're only really raising your torso, you don't do a proper eccentric you just drop down. I can do maybe 22 strict pushups and 12 strict pullups, ie slow perfect reps. When I watch videos on youtube of people doing rep challenges their form is a joke, I doubt they could even do a quarter of the reps in a serious way.
>>
>>77565301
they just have poor form to chase a high number rather than actually optimizing for growth
>>
You don't need any strength to do pushups, it's all endurance. Do ten today, 11 tomorrow, 12 the next day and eventually you can do 50 if you're consistent. skinny dyel fags can spam 50 pushups easier than strong men

Because most "strong men" aren't fit.

This.
Pushups are probably the most ass horizontal pushing motion you can do for chest, but people take an already mediocre "compound" and make it somehow worse by placing arms all weird and flopping like over cooked pasta, imagine if you went to the gym and people were benching like that. The main problem is that it's the most accessible exercise out there, no filter, no equipment, so it makes sense for the vast majority of people doing them to be doing them wrong since the average person is an absolute DYEL. I don't really get it though, why will people brag about some arbitrary (unweighted btw) amount of reps anyway? I understand if we're talking about a heavy lift or something. Ultimately it's all about the physique anyway and I have never seen anyone with a remotely good looking push muscles brag about their pushup count, simple as.

>imagine if you went to the gym and people were benching like that.
I guess it's just like doing a half rep and moving your pelvis up completing the rest of the motion with trivial weight. Who would do this? And why? And for some reason, really fast?
>>
I don't know pushups just seem retsrded to me that's all. And why don't we hear people bragging about an insane dip count? It's only pushups and pull-ups people will talk about. Kipping on dips is definitely possible. So you'd expect people claiming they can do 50 Just weird how culturally dips just aren't valued as much as they should be, even though they're objectively better than pushups in every single way. Man I loved doing dips, don't really remember why I ditched them.
>>
I actually do pushups now, but as a finisher after training chest and I love it. Crazy burn and pump just doing 3x15.

inability to see past your own point of view and abilities is a symptom of autism.

I do dips with 90lbs on my waist. Without a weight I can do 30+ dips in a row. I tested recently, I can do about 75 pushups with good form
>>
even as a dyel i can do 50 pushups
>>
>>77565301
A lot of it is momentum. Even if you do a full range of motion, once you get in the rhythm you can kinda just bounce

that's why you ask people how many lalanne pushups they can do instead.
