Today, my 80-year old grandpa beat me in a push-up competition. He did 2. MLIA.
oh noes, no one likes you! www.amirite.com?
Wtf.
ditto.
is the coolest pokemon ever.
indeed
*puts more securely in guillotine*
she keeps escaping! I think it's time for more desperate measures.
What's more desperate than a guillotine???!?!??!
*revs up the chainsaw*
it's time to summon the Kraken!
Kraken <3
Who needs a Kraken? I've got Pikachu!!
sadly i think this might be average now in America.
Nice. More than I can do, I think.
Ow
You hope they choke on their push-up doing Grandfather?
*coke* gasp, that was dangerous.
Coke is the highest known killer of all fizzy drinks, it's true.
It happens to us all, eventually. You're now one of the family!
Ed Zachary.
that is called cannibalism, children, and is frowned upon in most civilized societies
lol yes Mr. Wonka sir...
on what? their grandfather?
I wish I could say something, but honestly, I can't do push-ups either.
Neither can I.
I didn't used to be able to. Now I can. If you start by doing it off your knees, it helps a lot.
That's what she- nevermind.
HAHA suckerssss... I can do 127 push-ups =) I'm a 15 year old girl. I rock.
127? I don't think many people would even have the patience/time/attention span to count that high while doing pushups...btw good job, I hope you stay fit! :D
*Smite*
*cleans up left over ashes*
*re-smites left over ashes*
This actually IS pretty average...
Wimp.
Oh wow. This is so average.
*applaudes you*
Wow.
I can do at least 10, and I'm a wimpy little girl.
Good.
were so proud.
Yeah... I suck too..
Thats what she said!
This is not very average. I've never met someone this wimpy.
I have. There are a lot of overweight teens in California =/ it's sad...
don't make fun of meeee :'(
is imtocool there??
Ummm... *throws a cover of the coffin* now's not a good time...
i'm a girl, 5'3 and under 100 lbs. and i can do 63. (we had a contest in gym once)
Seriously? Without stopping?
i had to rest in the middle for like a minute. but that was in softball season when i was really in shape. now i can only do about 35...? without stopping
Understandable. I'm about 5'7-ish, 105 pounds and could probably do about 35 is I had about a minute to rest after the 25th
are you are a girl or a guy?
Man, you must be really skinny. o.0
you people are insane, I'm a guy, 198cm, 65kg, and can do about 20... but then again, I don't work out...
yikes, what is the conversion to feet/inches and pounds?
198 = 6'6 I think, not sure.
and 65kg = 140-ish pounds I think
198 is almost 6 ft i think. isnt 100 cm about 3 feet?
I checked an online converter and it said 198cm = 6,49 feet, and isn't it like 12 inches per feet or something like that?
hmph. guess you're right :P yeah, a foot is 12 inches. and if you don't work out, thats good! i have to work at it. if i stopped doing push-ups for months i would probably be barely able to do 7! i really have to work at it haha
75+ in a row, thanks to gymnastics :D
I'm 5'3, 123lbs, and can do 127 push-ups. Non-stop. It was an Air Force Recruit stand... I don't want to JOIN the Air Force, but they were giving out free stuff, so I went out there and got it =)
I don't who you're trying to impress, but this isn't the place to brag.
Really? Because I'm awfully impressed.
1: i'm not trying to brag, i think the OP is a complete whimp. i mean, push-ups? pull-ups i can only do one :P 2: i'm pretty sure you're just jealous :)
Wow, arrogant much? I hope you were joking when you said I'm jealous. Anyway, I'm a guy, so you can't really compare. But you can point out your opinion of the OP other ways that comparing them to yourself and painting yourself up as impressive for your physical appearance. For all you know, the OP could be a seven year old.
i was kidding, i thought that was kinda obvious. i understand how that could seem like i'm bragging, but i'm not. seven year olds are not on MLIA.
They could be.
it all depends on who the OP is, I know a ton of teenage girls that can't do a single push up, but they would never compete against their grandpa on the other hand xD and this ignorance about their own strength lowers the OP in my opinion
thank you, totn. that was my point.
What's wrong with not being able to do push-ups? :( Not everyone can be amazing when it comes to athletics.
i'm sorry if i offended anyone D: (but i am NOT amazing when it comes to athletics! i just have lots of upper body strength beacuse i was ADDICTED to monkey bars when i was little. i am really one of the slowest runners in my school.)
Oh, it's okay. I've just never been able to do push-ups. I can do a lot of other things and I go to the gym regularly, but I still can't do a push-up.
aah, see that totally explains the difference between us ;) I managed to knock a hole in my forehead by falling off the monkey bars when I was a kid, never liked them since then, however I'm one of the fastest runners in school
totn - ouch!! and thats funny, we are complete opposites (: mina - so do i! i practice and practice but i cant get my mile time (don't laugh!!) under about 9:10 :(
wait how much is an american mile? I'm used to European miles which are 10km, my 5km time is on just above 20minutes
5km is about 3 miles
okay xD
yeah i can do two miles in twenty mins... so three would probably be a little above thirty minutes :(
well, that's not bad, :P but you shoud accont for the fact that the first mile will go way faste than the later ones. I coud probably run that first one in under 5 minutes, since that's pretty much just sprinting. (I'm a way better sprinter than endurance runner)
woooowwwww!!! thats really good!
haha, well I guess I got my height to thank, never really trained
very true. long legs = long strides.
seriously, I agree with you. people talk about assumptions. You're just proud of what you did, and these hypocrits are assuming you're some hot-shot show-off who thinks you're all that, and that you're great at sports. They probably think I'm showing off too. Eejits.
Not being able to do a push-up does not make you a wimp... I know people who can't do a single push up but can knock someone out in an instant. It depends on the muscles (pushups use mainly shoulder and chest muscles) that are used. Just because you don't have muscle built in certain places does not make you a wimp...
and who would be jealous of push ups? People brag here and there, but jealousy? No...
well clearly for a k-o punch you don't need any strengt, you can knock out anyone if you just get the punch in. And even otherwise it's all about momentum not stength, speed can make up for a lot
Wrong. Force=Mass x Accelleration. To deliver a KO punch takes an incredible amount of strength and technique. Anyone who is out of shape enough that they can't do a pushup couldn't deliver such a blow... unless it was to a baby or something.
that jealous thing? i was kidding. i thought that was obvious. i understand how i could come off as arrogant, and it sounded like that. but i'm not. and i know exactly what you're saying - read my comment to mina above.
good for you. i can run a 20k (a little more than 12 miles) without walking.
At least it doesn't say I love old people on the end. Thank you for that.
I'm a girl and I have to do 50 a week at karate.
you are weak...
You did HOW many?!?!?!?!?! Whoa. You must work out a lot.
I'm a girl and I do 25 everytime I miss a serve in volleyball. Not just at games either. Their not that hard unless you've never worked out in your life..
noooooooooooooooooo elennaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this lady waz 80 years old ansd this had 80 comments you ruined it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
not lady grandpa
yeah when i was on the softball team we had to do the same thing every time we made a bad throw or if we didnt catch a ball at practices. it sucked. i feel ur pain.
This could easily be on fml.
I agree.
xD
I had a pushups test today. I did 5.
Bad way to start my day.
Wimp!!!
sweet u and i are in the same boat
hahah, me you and WorstUsernameEverIThingSo are all in the same boat! ;) <3
why the f is this on mlia? definitely an fml lol =P
This is very horrible I'm really sorry that you are not in better shape. It's ridiculous about these comments that nobody on here is in shape. You can't do 2 pushups.
I can do more than 2 pushups D:
but then again I'm a guy in football.. haha
I agree. This is EXTREMELY sad. They'll probably have a heart attack by the age of 40...
Lack of upper body strength =/= unhealthy.
an inability to do more than 2 pushups = maybe should be exercising instead of spending more time on the internet. In the long run it might be better.
FML?
seriously, I can do about 50
i appreciate that you posted this on MLIA and not FML
Only 2? I'm way overweight, lack upper body strength, and I can do ten without stopping. What is this I don't even.
