When you do a pushup, what % bodyweight's actually lifted?

[hanselthecaretaker]

I always get a good pump doing pushups.

Anyone know?

 

[Seashell]

I believe 75%...

 

[UA_Iron]

the physics involved are quite complicated.

the force supported by your arms increases as you go down. I just did a test though: I put my hands on a scale and got in a pushup position on the up motion I was 128lbsf, and the down motion (lowest point) it was 140lbsf with a body weight of 180lbs.

(0.7111 + 0.7778)/2 * 100% = 74.44%

Whoa seashell, you're awesome.

 

[EnderJE]

(0.7111 + 0.7778)/2 * 100% = 74.44%

Whoa seashell, you're awesome.

pfft...if she were awesome, then she would of got the last .54 percent...or flash some skin...either or....

 

[UA_Iron]

the last .54 percent?

you mean would have gotten that .56 percent she was off?

your shady math =

lol...its canuck mafth...not soo goodish...

 

[EnderJE]

and I never said that I was awesome, but I'll flash some skin if you want...

 

[Seashell]

@ Ender messing up the math..

<--- Also, note skin flashed.

 

[UA_Iron]

lets see some boobies

 

[EnderJE]

lets see some boobies

"One day soon, I'm going to tell the moon about the Crying Game..."

 

[EnderJE]

Also, note skin flashed.

Not the skin, I meant.

 

[UA_Iron]

congrats, I will now specify gender when I send out skin requests.

seashell's lookin hot.

 

[from zero]

"One day soon, I'm going to tell the moon about the Crying Game..."

OMFG

WTF

 

[The Red Dragon]

around 75% as seashell stated

whoa you actually tested it, k to you man

 

[Seashell]

congrats, I will now specify gender when I send out skin requests.

seashell's lookin hot.

lol!

Thanks.

........underneath about 75% of clothes.

aauuuughhhhh....

kinda looks like Project

thanks ass,I had nice morning wood till that

THAT made you blow your load?


Sick man. Get out.

dammit I left myself wide open for that one didnt I?

good burn lol

 

[ChefWide]

I am not sure about the percentage...

I suppose it depends if Shells has her legs over my shoulders or wrapped around my back....

bust out the scale like I did.

UGH for the morning wood comment.

Iron man, if you pulled out a scale when durring Deep Impact, you would not live to tell about it...

 

[GoldenDelicious]

without launching into a huge physics discussion, all you have to do is get into a pushup position, but instead of putting your hands on the floor, put them on a set of scales.

sorry if thats too straightforward i know i killed a good 2 pages of explanations with that

dude, did you totally not read the first page?

true chef, a scale during sex is not something I'd bother with.

then again, hammy claims to have used one down at the feed lot...

 

[GoldenDelicious]

i wasnt involved in the thread before i posted, so i figure, its not worth reading

(lol FUCK i hate it when that happens )

 

[jackangel]

personally, i'm grateful that gd didn't launch into a lengthy physics discussion.

however, i had the razor blade standing by, and poised at my wrist.

I used to get stoned and watch the RONCO rotisseree infomercials. I always liked the flavor injector - for some reason my friends and I would get excited during that part of the program.

[PICK3]

I don't think pushups and bench pressing are exactly analogous.

If you weigh 200 lbs and can do 100 pushups, I doubt you can bp 75% of your body weight = 150 lbs for 100 reps.

damn.. Picky, can you do a hundred push ups?

I have before ... now I'm down to 72. I can't really max any movements like that thanks to my f'ed up shoulder.

The most p/u's I've ever done was 585 in an hour. I remember reading about an incarcerated boxer who did 1000/hour in his cell, but I never could match his record.

Amazing stuff. that is wild shit!

I have a tossed shoulder, so I max out at 50-60 without a break.. my form goes to hell and then it takes my shoulder for ever to recover.

1000.. AT ALL, let alone in an HOUR.. dayum... i wonder who he was fucking? No matter.

 

[GoldenDelicious]

ok now my feelings are hurt, im going to go sulk



...at the beach, with the wind in my hair and sun on my face

...in the morning. im tired now. mofos.
