3 Minute Pushup Challenge

[LagBringer2011]

In army, i did 50 one hand push up and totally destroyed my competitor's 15 push up. But I couldnt raise my right arm anymore for a week.

[umbraumbrella]

91 pushups... I heard of the challenge before, but i always did until failure. >_<

[russiansoviet11]

ok i only did 97 :(

[kier06]

i done this yesterday for the first time after watching darin steens vid, i got 110 so im pretty pissed that u said i have to do 111 to be extraordinary! WTF 1 rep out hahahaha aiming for 120 next week :) 

[ellpod]

i didn't have a stopwatch so i used my ipod and that was trippin out on me like going to a different screen, so i couldn't see if the time stopped or was going. I pulled out 54:(

[PunkyLemming]

have about non stop for 3 mins..

[Gi21FF1n]

89 on my first try..I didn't have a clue on any method. I just did as many as I could in 1 minute. I think I got like 40 or something. Then just did as many as I could after that taking 10-20 second rests.

[jdjacks04]

Take a look at my channel, I did a response to Darin Steens 3 min challenge. 2 vids but I didnt use this advice. I'll have to do a third vid using this technique

105 first vid

109 second vid

[ryanguitar1]

went from 75 to 105 almost instantly just on that simple advice

[Fukitall123]

lol really i do around 200 in 3 mins, but i shoudnt say that because now ppl will start saying no you cant show proof.

[ryanguitar1]

@Fukitall123 well you can show proof it's called a response video

[jdjacks04]

@Fukitall123 lets see it, I've posted vid responses to Darins Steens challange on my channel. Eat your words Fukitall LOL

please tell me when you post it

[shadow36711]

i mean 55 in a row

[shadow36711]

i did 40 in 32 seconds but that wasnt my max out i prob do maybe 55 max havnt tried but this sounds like good work out

[CharleyBomb]

WOOT! I got to 125. I actually did go to failure which was 70 push ups...but then I died and could only to reps of 10-15 before collapsing each time T_T. I had 130 counted, but I felt that about 5 of them were incomplete... next time I will listen to your advice and rest XD

[mgownag3]

I did 77 , damn I suck

[baconsoap78]

I thought that this would be a piece o' cake...until I tried it. it's super tough.

[grayArea1134]

so, i am in the US Army and my standard is to do as many pushups as possible in 20 minutes. i am 29 and generally top out at 73 in 2 minutes, what ar your thoughts on that?

[AdamRevolution]

great idea! i'm gonna try this.

[ssj4kakarot]

talk about feeling the burn, i managed to push out 127 probably could have done more but i'll try again and find out maybe over the weekend.

[thundernuts0]

82 where would that be?

[MTAJ78]

all the ones - 111! Tougher than I thought it would be......! :0P

[ErikGalindo]

61 first time. rematch one week later, I got 83! gonna retest in a few weeks.

[88Azazel]

Totally pointless.

[ssj4kakarot]

@88Azazel y do u say that???

[88Azazel]

@ssj4kakarot First off it comes from Mens Health Magazine which is little more than a glorified advertisement rag for clothing and watch companies. Second there is no point in blasting out Push-Ups as fast as one can just so you can gain an "exceptional" (whatever that means) rating on some arbitrary scale. A proper Push-Up is done with at least a two second negative and a two second positive. You would be much better served doing three sets of PROPER Push-Ups than this.

[On1L1nk]

@88Azazel It's more of a test rather than a workout. Plus, Craig did it a competition when he posted this. The 6 people (3 men + 3 women) that got the highest got a prize.

[webeducation]

sweet, 132

[phatzky]

so does this routine gain chest mass?

[dapitbull123]

@phatzky  the only way to add mass is to lift heavy. 8-12 reps

[DrewBaye]

@dapitbull123

Ideal rep range varies from person to person due to genetic factors. Some gain better with slightly lower or higher reps than that. I tend to get better results training in the 5 to 8 range, and I train some people who do better with 7 to 10, some with 8 to 12 or even slightly higher.

[dkola616]

122

[OblivionChain]

@0301103 He says " Below Avg " anyways he's talking about how you can do more than 55 push ups with perfect Form. After 40 , it's very hard to hold perfect form. If you're 18 and you have P.E at your school. You should be able to do about 3 sets of 230 ~ 25 push ups.

[matias4393]

You always make good videos. Thank you!!!!

[1ndestructable]

i should try that when i'm not sore.

[GriffyFresh]

Do you rest in the plank position?

[knewok]

@GriffyFresh i would...

[ssj4kakarot]

@GriffyFresh that is up to you, you can rest in the plank or do what i did when i did my 127 which is get a quick stretch during that 15 sec. so your muscles don't get to tight, just think of the energy wasted holding the plank that could have been used to push out a few more reps. yes it is quicker to start back up but it takes it's toll

[T14309]

shouldn't lock your elbows though...

[CheezMonsterCrazy]

@T14309 Most trainers I've heard on that subject say it really doesn't matter.
