Supposedly the late great Brad Van Pelt never really lifted weights either.

I heard the same thing about Jonah Hill.

Not sure if it's actually bulking me up but I feel good about myself afterwards so there's that.

Its not going to bulk you up but it will make you look and feel more fit. Push ups work a great variety of muscles including your abs. I think they are far more beneficial than say, bench pressing, unless your goal is to get a huge chest.

Haha, I thought the same thing. Looks very awesome. I have a perfect push up set and barely ever use it. This would be perfect.

It looks very nice in my basement. My kid is rock freaking solid. I have tried to find a way to put pics on here without being creepy, but it doesnt work.
She has been using it since last September with the UT rowing team, and the kid is strong. I will be using it every day starting tonight. It goes back to school with her in August (Belongs to the rowing team) so I have to get in as much work out as I can before the middle of August or so. Im planning to be down 20lbs by then.
(lost 5 to my change in diet, and then 5 more to Strep last week.)
Anyways, I have found used Concept 2's on Row2k.com for about 1000bucks plus shipping. I just need a new job and Im going to own one of them bad boys.
Pic of my kid. She is the one on the left, facing the coxswain. (just following board rules!! [haha])

Damn a pic of your daughter and the word cox in the same post. Lol.

I do a bunch of varieties of pushups. And the best single chest exercise is not the bench but (drum roll) dips! I didn't believe it but leaning forward a big really makes my chest look damn good

Week 2 is probably the hardest. Works great when you keep with it. First time I started, my shoulder told me to take a month off. Second time went through, finished and...well...took a month off. Plan on starting it back up after I get back from vacation at the end of the month. At its worst its 10-15 minutes out of your day, 3 times a week.

I did that program a ciuple years back....I got up to about 60 but it just assumes you can keep increasing the number you can do each week, which wasn't the case.

Yes. "Hand release" pushups are more challenging. Go all the way down and let your chest hit/rest on the floor by pulling your hands up off the floor. Then, push back up and repeat.
Other variations....use a kettlebell or medicine ball to support one hand while resting the other hand on the floor. Do 10-15 pushups, then switch hands, and repeat.
And as someone else said, dips are an excellent chest exercise.

I had a very similar pull up program that helped a lot. You plataeu in these things, its impossilbe to keep up with the progressions they have. However if you stick wtih it, you'll see yourself get up there a ways, but that could really be said by just doing push ups/pull ups/anything in general; at least, to a point.

I've been doing 3 sets about every other day. So far I've built up to about 25 pushups for each set. What GreenMeany said is true. If I give myself more than one or two days off in between I feel like I really struggle to get back to where I was. I'm not sure what my goal is. Maybe a hundred a day? So 3 sets of 33? Or maybe 30, 30, 40.
Not sure if it's actually bulking me up but I feel good about myself afterwards so there's that.

Who was talking sets? I meant if I do five push-ups on Monday and then don't do anymore until Friday, I can only do two and a half or three push-ups. You have to keep after it.

I like to start my day off by doing pushups. I don't normally take into account how many I do but its usually a good amount.

3 sets of 40. probably 3 times a week. It is a great exercise.

If you guys step up your game you can turn out just like Herschel Walker (for better or worse). Apparently he does 1500 pushups, 3500 situps, and one 8 mile run a day... all while only eating one vegetarian meal each day. He claims he never uses weights. If that's true, I'm guessing it works because that dude is a beast.
