Ryan's NCAA pushup checkpoint

inspired me to git it a try, 2:49.4 not bad i guess

Fenton its all Karma for stealing my Oakleys.....

Love how you guys can make working out fun.....I am of the single minded persuasion that Ryan and Mark doing push ups under Madu's supervision with the music beating, the camera rolling and the clock ticking is definitely a valid pre-nationals challenge workout. Most athletes know that perfect form at the finish line doesn't just happen the day of the race. So all you who have perfect blogging form.....let's see some of your push up workouts.

Liking how youFlotrack guys get us into the swing of things and give us some good laughs along the way. Thanks.

The problem is it doesn't matter if you touch the fist with your chest if you don't straighten your arms on the top.

1:45 legit 60 20 7 5 5 3 damn that hurt at the end...

3:20 for me yesterday

This was almost embarrassing to watch, such awful form.

i laughed

seriously Mr. Bader there was like humping the flooring! ;)

99 humps.
1 legit.
p.s. Ry wasted some time tho comtemplating. :()

i just completed the challenge in 3:44, rather proud of myself

The guy is a cheater!!! Only Ryan was doing real push-ups!

that other guy was notttt doing a push up. he was bobbing his head. CHEATER

That was the best/funniest thing i've seen in a long time!

Bader's form was just awful. What ever happened to doing actual pushups and not bending at the waist?

He was doing the worm for most of that, bending at the back like crazy. Weak sauce.

Get Marcus O'Sullivan to do this, he's still fit as hell, he'd destroy this!

micah,

had you read the comments you would see that no one stated they could actually do the challenge. just no one has done real pushups so this is not legit. there needs to be a standard and going to chest to ground and full locking of the arms is the easiest way to do that, IDIOT.

Nice job with the improvement Ryan! I did the challenge a couple of weeks ago with a friend and was at about the same time as you were initially. 2 weeks later and I am no faster yet :( Keep up the good work!

Yo I am always racing the guy that made this website

"Madu is a stickler." hahahahaha

How about all of you guys who relentlessly criticize everyone's pushups show us a video of you doing 100 of them perfectly. Seriously, its getting really annoying.

Bader is just bending at the waist.

No one who has done this has done any real push up

Here's a web page describing rules for pushup world records. http://www.recordholders.org/en/list/pushups.html
The decription is just common sense as it removes issues related
to differences in upper body build that would have a huge effect on
how close the chest can get to the floor. Slowing down this video, it appears
to me that Ryan and Baders were meeting the criteria for pushups, except that they weren't done on a hard surface. As long as the pushups are reasonably close to the above-referenced criteria, I can just admire their performance and look forward to the next installment of the pushup challenge!

Might help with your training!

nice carpet..

dude the guy on the right was not even doing push ups. P u s s y

Chest to ground is way past 90 degrees. If your chest is the length of your forearm, then yes, go to the ground. For us normal distance runners, 90 degrees is not chest to ground

around the world!!!

look's like the Hoss in the animation goes to 90 degrees...hmmm?
Past 90 degrees is an uber push-up. Obviously more than one way to do a push-up

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Press-up

I've never met someone who said that push ups are chest to ground, they are always basically what they did in this video. Maybe a better extension at the top

the only way to be fair is to have everybody doing the same thing that doesn't need to be measured like 90 degrees. AKA chest to ground and locking the arms.

MAN UP.

please Mr.MMA pushup guy grace us with a video of you doing 100 "real" pushups

please, none of these are pushups.

not even close.
the disco music was a nice flashback though. . .

Chest to ground is too much. I say arms have to get to 90 degrees and then must be full extended at the top. Clearly theyre going to be arbitrary rules but I feel that is fair and pretty easy to judge.

I have to agree, those are 1/2 pushups for Baders!

Ryans Pushups were a lot better....good try Ryan!

get fit Ryan- your weak- START TRAINING AGAIN! your getting lazy man!

0 in 54 seconds. Impressive...

Nice choice of music. Daft Punk all the way!

here marc is a bit of fun like haha
relax an chill :D
gud goin ryan almost ncaa will u be ready?;)

no that's not that hard to do 100 half push ups

Call them whatever kind of pushup you want you will, Bader is ridiculous.

okay you guys need to be doing ACTUAL pushups.

the pushup should be chest to ground, and locking the arms. my MMA man over here did the equivalent of 50 real pushups (100 of those halfass things).
