Are you doing one pushup for each gender there is?

Depends who you speak to. For a libtard I don't think I have the muscle mass yet

So you're saying you did 2 pushups today?

no I'm shitposting across platforms atm... I'm sore AF I can't be dishonest to this site when it comes to hard work, it needs to be known. Get your bojangles and punch the soft concrete until it bleeds! It isn't you it's the FUCKING CONCRETE GODDAMMIT

My pushups are different... like meditating in a field full of spring blossoms on a warm day with a gentle breeze.

this isn't a place for sphincter recitals. /s I can't stop..... do you do slow and steady? I get mad and my hands usually leave the ground for explosive fast twitch response. Negatives are insanely good for your large muscle groups and steady is good for the balance thing.. I think that was you that was working on balance?

Balance? Are you talking about core strength again? I think I have enough (just) of that. I'm mostly just trying not to get injured... though you make it sound like a party (given sufficient levels of anger).

Edit: I do the first half of the set almost as fast as I can because it's boring.. go slower towards the end when there's some strain.

I've been berated for leaving the gym after 25 minutes. It's not about getting it done fast or slow, it's about what your goal is. I was working out 1 muscle, and 25 minutes was more than enough. for 200 or 400 push ups or even just 20 pushups you can get some pretty good results. And yea I meant core, because using good form is huge and slowly can get you that strain (that's where you start sweating and shaking). In boxing I was taught to explode and I'm actually a pretty angry individual so it works for me. It'd be very hard to hurt yourself without weights. I was a dummy once with 45 lbs as a warm up but without weight I'd consider almost anything safe.

fun story: I used to DJ at a 6000 capacity auditorium and there was a soundboard kid who saw the hockey players doing vertical presses against the wall. He came in with a lacerated leg after attempting it in his bedroom.... you just have to own your body and not let it own you. Starting at 100 pushups is just a warm up for the big boys at the fire hall. So do them however TF pleases you as long as you're getting where you want.
