Stop being fat.

Stop being weak.

Stop having estrogen levels of a woman.

You still have tits because you can't spot reduce fat.


You can't do enough crunches to get abs. You can't do enough push ups to lose the moobs.


You CAN lose enough fat to do both, though.

100 push-ups, 100 sit ups, 100 squats and a 10 km run.

My hair has almost completely fallen out.

Firstly, are you a chick?


If not... lower your body fat%.


Look at some of the big UFC fighters... you can be strong as hell and still have tits if you are a bit chubby.

I'm working on it, trying to better myself.  I'm up to 45 in a row, doing that every day this week.  Next week, I'll push it to 50.  Little increments.

Working on pull-ups as well, just trying to make some headway in my upper body.  Dropping some weight as well.



While we're on the subject, I hear a lot about plateauing at like 50-60 in a row, where after that point you're just working endurance and not strength.  Anything to that?  And if so, what's the best course of action?  More sets of fewer reps?

My wild ass guess would be 20 on average.  The warm ups at my gym usually incorporate some kind of push up and sometimes the workout does, too.  Today we did 40 x 2 as part of the warm up.

You're going to plateau with bodyweight movements no matter what rep/set range you use.

Once you can do 50 push ups, move to working with weights. At that point you're wasting your time if you continue to do bodyweight.

Sweet. I'm training for my first crit. If you have tits you still have weight to lose. Push-ups won't build muscle. Gotta lose the weight first, then slow bulk while lifting real weight to build the muscle.

Really, this is true. If your goal is changing your body, and quickly, push ups are definitely leaning towards that "waste of time" area.


I do zero push ups btw, unless I'm warming up.

Incorporate weight to build more strength.

In the realm of strictly doing push up, try doing max sets once you reach a plateau. 2 sets doing as many as absolutely possible without worrying about time. Even if it means doing one at time and resting (without breaking form). Rest 4-5 minutes between sets. Do this a couple times per week. Worked for me. Maxed 114 on a pst.

Zero. I've known too many guys who hurt their shoulders doing high-volume pushups.

Instead, I bench press, do various one-arm presses, etc. High weight, low reps.

As for the moobs, ever hear that saying, "Abs are made in the kitchen?" Same goes for moobs.

I suck at remembering.  I'd like it to be ten sets of 30.  Most days I remember at least 6 or 7 sets.

I stopped doing "PRT pushups" a while ago.  Only full ROM, pause at top and bottom.  It cuts the number I can do about in half.

Fucking Zero since orthoscopic on each shoulder 5 years ago.

I made up for it as a young soldier, I probably still have a 35/day average.
