Assess your muscular strength

I did 134 push ups with 315lbs on my back and I went ass to the grass... slow and controlled... and did them in under 45 seconds.

For mortals... I do my pushups starting in squat stance and then go down into the pushup, ending each rep in a full standing position of the squat. Oh yeah... HARD CORE

This thread puts me in the mood for pushups lmao. Im gonna destroy these next chest day. Final movement.

The thread also reminded me of a Branch training vid in which he superset pushups with cable flies.

What I found amusing about the article is how little you have to do to be considered strong.

bodyweight is tougher.
full on pullups are a bitch!

not many before my wrists give out

wouldn't that be more muscular endurance than strength?

I bet there are some 150lbers who can do more pushups than 300lb powerlifters, benching 500+

Beyond the maximum numbers on the table, definitely.

The numbers listed apply for anybody though. If you can't do 30 pushups, I don't care how much you can squat or deadlift, you don't have good muscular strength. Any bodybuilder/powerlifter should be able to do that

I say 2 minutes for a maximum number of reps is measuring muscular endurance.
