I heard that doing 100 pushups right away is nt as good as making 10 series of 10 pushups. Do you know if that's true? And if it is why so?

The best thing to do is to do 3 sets of your max potential of pshups. If you can do 80, do 3 sets of 80 a day = 240 / day.
The more sets you do of your max potential, the quicker you get better...of course, doing 20 sets of your max in a day might hurt you 😛

Originally posted by smw6869Close hands pushups are way worst for that. Till you try it you just won't believe how hard it is to gow down.

Originally posted by Bad wolfNot more than 30 secs for sure. When I did them I waited something like 10 secs.
Let's assume that you want to do 3 sets each day as you are suggesting, how long should you wait in between each set?
Edit: I missed your point. In that case do it allong the day. One when you get up, one in the afternoon and the last one at evening. I think that's best.
Originally posted by RamnedIt all depends on whether there's someone laying underneath me.
how many full pushups...to where your head or chest touches the ground?
how many pushups can you do clapping your hands?
and how many can you do with your hands right beside each other, touching?
1 handed?
Head touching the pillow OK, or just laying cheek to cheek? I haven't got the statistics for "head touching the ground". Chest touching chest is normal.
One hand down and one hand somewhere else, I can manage about 3,687. Both hands touching (behind her back) about 4,750. Both hands down but not touching, about the same.
Me clapping? I've never tried clapping at the time. Usually she hasn't got breath to spare to clap, either, but she does afterwards and squeals and screams: "すごい、あれはすごい！！！(=Sugoi, are wa sugoi)!!!" [translation: "Wonderful, that is wonderful!!!"].
Now, if you want her statistics...

After I did my first set I struggled to get up, so waiting just 30 seconds isn't doable, but I don't get any exercise, so that'll explain it...

The only thing is not to forget. If you do this everyday...doing your max pushups possible, 3+ times / day, rewards are high
