如果你很想锻炼你的耐力,跟着这个为期6周的训练教程,你将很快可以连续一口气完成100个俯卧撑。
既然大家都说自己是做俯卧撑的,那就来的专业一些,参加这个教程好了。
Think there's no way you could do this? I think you can! All you need is a good plan, plenty of discipline and about 30 minutes a week to achive this goal!
你真的认为这是不可能的么?我认为你行!所有的你所需要的就是严格的要求自己和每周抽出30分钟就可以了!!!
可是严格的自我要求不容易吧?
No doubt some of you can already do 50 consecutive push ups, but let's face it, you're in a big minority. Most of you reading this won't even be able to manage 20 pushups. Actually, I'm sure many of you can't even do 10.
毫无疑问,你们中的一些个别同志已经可以一口气完成50个俯卧撑,但是,这样的人真的少之又少。大多数正在阅读这些话的你练一口气做完20个俯卧撑都不行!实际上,你甚至可能连10个都做不了!
不会是在说我呢吧?
However, it really doesn't matter which group you fall into. If you follow the progressive push ups training program, I'm positive you'll soon be able to do 100 push ups!
不管怎么样,起点不重要。如果你跟着这个循序渐进的教程练习,我敢肯定你将很快能够一口气完成100个俯卧撑!
口号不错!买书吧!

提示: 作者被禁止或删除, 无法发言标题: what is a push up? According to Wikipedia, a push-up (USA English), or a press-up (UK English), is "a common strength training exercise performed in a prone position, lying horizontal and face down, raising and lowering the body using the arms."
据维基百科全书讲,俯卧撑是一种很容易实施的锻炼方法,面朝下平卧,用手臂支撑身体作上下运动。
Push ups are a basic exercise used in civilian athletic training or physical education and, especially, in military physical training and will develop the pectoral muscles and triceps, with ancillary benefits to the deltoids, serratus anterior, coracobrachialis and the midsection as a whole.
Instructions for "good-form" push ups
Good-form Push Up
完全俯卧撑
Lie prone on the ground with hands placed as wide or slightly wider than shoulder width. Keeping the body straight, lower body to the ground by bending arms at the elbows. Raise body up off the ground by extending the arms. Repeat.
Body weight should be lifted by the arms; don't be tempted to use your butt, stomach or the lower half of your body to pull yourself up. To maintain correct body alignment, imagine a straight line running from your head down to your ankles.
Instructions for "alternative" push ups
变相俯卧撑
Modified Push Up
So you're tried the "good-form" push ups, but can only manage one or two before exhaustion sets in.
Don't be despondent; several alternative options exist which will still enable you to follow the hundred push ups plan.
* "Knee" push ups - to reduce the lifting load by about 50% you can do the same exercise, but do it on your knees. Keeping a straight line from neck to torso is still important, so please pay attention to correct body alignment as you perform your workout.
* "Knuckle" push ups - don't worry, these are not just for the hard-core push up folks. Some people experience wrist discomfort as they perform "good-form" push ups, but by closing your hands and making a fist, your body weight ends up on your knuckles instead of your palms, thus avoiding the wrist extension motion. Note: Please be sure to do this type of push up on a padded mat, plush carpet or even better a rolled up towel.
* "Bench" push ups - you can also use a low bench or chair to support your arms while you perform either regular push ups or "knee" push ups. This type of push up allows you to really concentrate on the push up motion; all without the strain of the regular version. Note: Please be sure the bench or chair is stable and secure before you perform the push ups.
* "Wall" push ups - if all the above options are still too challenging, one final variation exists. The "wall" push up dramatically reduces the pressure on the arms, upper back and abs. The closer you stand to the wall, the easier they are to perform, but remember, it's still important to be aware of your body alignment as you perform the "wall" push up. As you gain strength and confidence, move your feet slightly further away from the wall to make the workout more challenging. Feel free to consider moving to the "bench" or "knee" style push ups once your initial strength has increased.
Remember, the main aim of the hundred push ups program is to improve your strength, fitness and general health. It really doesn't matter what style of push up you perform as long as you continue to make progress and keep challenging yourself. Give the 6-week program a chance and I know you'll be amazed at your new found strength. Good luck!
记住,不要不好意思,如果你只能做这种变相俯卧撑。我们的目的是锻炼你的韧性,健美的身材和健康的体魄。只要你坚持下去,并不断地挑战你自己,6周以后你就不是你了!祝你好运气!
Push ups are one of the basic and most common exercises for the human body. Push ups are not only great for your chest, but do a tremendous job of defining your abs, triceps, shoulders and torso.
Push ups can be performed no matter where you are, and best of all, they are completely free - no expensive equipment or annual gym fees required! If you're looking to develop a great chest and shoulders, you could do much worse than follow along with the hundred push ups plan. Your core strength will also go through the roof too!
To improve your strength, fitness and general health all you need to do is commit about 30 minutes of your time per week, and follow the push ups training program as closely as you can. I promise you will feel much better about yourself and much more confident after just a few short workouts.作者: xblues 时间: 12-8-2008 04:19
提示: 作者被禁止或删除, 无法发言标题: initial test Before you dive in and start the Hundred Push Ups Program, you should (a) obtain medical advice and clearance from your doctor and (b) take an initial push ups test. The test will highlight your current fitness level and determine where to start and how to plan your push ups training program.
测试一下,看看你是哪一个级别的?
0 - 5
6 - 14
15 - 29
30 - 49
50 - 99
100 - 150
150 & above
To perform the test, simply execute as many good-form push ups as you can. Don't cut corners and please don't cheat - the last thing you want to do is end up in the wrong level of the training program! The results may be humbling, but trust me, honesty is the best policy if you want to maximize your strength gains!
Once you've collapsed in a sweaty heap on the floor and your arms have stopped trembling from the exertion, make a note (mental or otherwise) of how many, or how few, push ups you were able to perform. As an example, the first time I performed the test, I managed to eek out just 19 consecutive good-form push ups.
Before starting Week 1, I recommend taking a couple of days to familiarize yourself with the program and recover from the exertion of the initial test. You'll be required to work out three times per week - Monday, Wednesday, Friday worked well for me.
需要保证每周三次练习!
Don't forget how many push ups you performed in the test and if you're still keen to improve your strength and fitness, read on to learn more about the program.
If you're concerned about your Rank in the extreme left column; there's no need. The scale of 1 to 7 is purely an indicator of current fitness, and can be used as a comparison tool between yourself, friends, family & co-workers.
Most people tend to fall into Rank 2 or 3 which is a great starting point for the plan. If you're ranked 1, you may need to consider one of the alternative push ups on the "What is a push up?" page. If you're ranked 6 or 7, maybe you need a tougher plan?
大多数人都是2级或者3级水平作者: xblues 时间: 12-8-2008 04:23

So, you've completed your initial test and you're keen to start the program? Great! If you managed 5 or less push ups in the test, follow column 1. If you completed between 6 and 10 push ups, column 2 is for you. More than 10 consecutive push ups? Impressive! Column 3 is what you're looking for.
For example: let's say you managed 8 push ups. Looking at the second column, Day 1 begins with Level 1 (7 push ups), a rest period of 60 seconds, before moving on to Level 2 (another 7 push ups). Rest for 60 seconds and continue with Level 3 (5 push ups) and Level 4 (4 push ups), before finishing with Level 5 and as many consecutive push ups as you can comfortably manage (at least 5, but not so many that you damage muscle tissue). The 60 seconds rest between each level should allow you to complete the workout, but I promise it does get tough towards the end.
Treat yourself to a rest day before moving on to Day 2, and then again before you complete Day 3. I find that Monday, Wednesday, Friday works well and allows you to use the weekend for rest and recovery before moving on to the next stage of the program. Feel free to juggle the plan around to meet your busy schedule, but make sure you rest in between workout days.
Hopefully you made it safely through the first week and now you're keen to move on to Week 2. However, if for some reason you struggled with the program, I would suggest eithing retaking the initial test or repeating Week 1. You'll probably be surprised at how much stronger you already are and will sail through the first week and be fired up and raring to go.
If you're ready to move on, let's take a look at Week 2 of the Hundred Push Ups Program.

提示: 作者被禁止或删除, 无法发言标题: 第二周教程 Week 1 should now be comfortably behind you and it's time to start Week 2 of the hundred push ups program. Continue by following the same column of exercises as you did in Week 1. Don't cut any corners, but feel free to take a little more rest between each level if you need to. It's also important to be well hydrated before you start each workout.
注意不要扭伤自己,安全第一,还要注意运动前,喝足够的水。
At the end of Week 2 it will be time to check your strength and perform another exhaustion test. In simple terms, perform as many good-form push ups as you can comfortably manage before you physically can't do another rep. Stress your system by all means, but please don't go beyond the safety limit. The number of push ups you complete will determine which level of the program you'll start in Week 3. Perform this test within a couple of days of completing Week 2. Good luck!
还是安全第一,第二周应该是很难坚持了,肌肉开始疲劳了。如果不行,在每次练习之间就稍微多休息一点时间。
Don't forget, now you've completed Week 2, it's time to take an exhaustion test. Perform as many good-form push ups as you can manage before you physically can't do another one. Make a note of how many push ups you complete, and move on to Week 3. Hope you're ready for the next level!
大多数人这周拜下阵来了吧?估计其中就包括我了(当然,如果我下决心开始这个教程的话!)
DAY1 12,12,9,7,10
DAT2 16,13,11,11,15
DAY3 15,15,12,12,15作者: xblues 时间: 16-8-2008 23:48
提示: 作者被禁止或删除, 无法发言标题: 第三周教程 You should be a little stronger than you were a couple of weeks ago and able to complete considerably more push ups than your initial test. If you managed 16-20 push ups in the latest test, follow column 1. If you completed between 21 & 25, column 2 is for you. More than 26 consecutive push ups? Excellent! You'll be following column 3.
看你上一周每次最后一节的情况了,如果不行,就转向较容易的教程了
看到这个教程的Tricky的地方了吧?如果你能坚持下来的话,是6周,估计大多数人都不行了,要反复做,那就不是6周了。
If you're struggling with the program, don't lose heart. Some people will still be doing less than 16 consecutive push ups, but this is ok. Just repeat the week you struggled with until you're strong enough to move on to the next level - I promise it will be worth your while!
Hopefully you made it safely through the third week and you're ready to move on to Week 4. Keep up the great work - you're halfway through the program and well on your way to performing one hundred consecutive push ups.
Let's continue with the program take a look at Week 4.
Well? Did you make it through Week 6? If you did; congratulations - you should be very proud of your achievements and ready for one final test.
If you struggled with Week 6 (many people do), no problem, just repeat the appropriate week and try again. Maybe an extra couple of days rest will benefit you?

提示: 作者被禁止或删除, 无法发言标题: 最终测试 final test
If you're reading this page you should be very proud of your achievements and ready for one final test. As you're well aware, the program you've been following is called One Hundred Push Ups and that's what this final test is all about.
To perform the test, simply execute as many good-form push ups as you can. If you've completed the six week program with no cheating and no short cuts, experience has shown that you should be strong enough to perform one hundred consecutive push ups!
After completing Week 6 of the program, treat yourself to a day or two of rest. Eat well and maintain good hydration. Try not to perform any exercises or tasks around the home that will drain you of energy - you'll need every ounce of strength to meet your goal. Ready?
Take your time, don't rush and focus on performing ten push ups at a time. Breaking the magic hundred into smaller chunks will make the goal more achievable and give you more chance of success. Maintain good form and don't hold your breath. It sounds simple, but just take it one push up at a time until you reach one hundred! If you start to feel shaky, take a few deep breaths and regain your composure before starting again. Good luck - I know you can do it!!
Just in case you didn't manage the hundred, I would suggest going back a couple of weeks in the program and building up your strength again. Maybe Week 5 or Week 6 would be good for you and help regain your confidence? Don't give up though, you're closer than you think!作者: xblues 时间: 16-8-2008 23:58
