Why can I bench my bodyweight for more reps than the amount of pushups I can do? Does my body have autism?
>>37720627
Because push ups are much harder than benching
>>37720627
>that pic
I'm not even racist and that is a glorious achievement indeed.
>>37720640
>>37720703
you are the true retard. When you are doing pushups you are working against gravity but when you are benching you are not
>>37720712
>>37720712
>>37720712
More of this please
>>37720712
Holy shit
Please go on
>>37720712
please elaborate
>>37720712
yeah you're pushing the bar away from the earth not pulling your body toward it
>>37721045
what i mean is that you're pushing the body away from earth (inner gravity) instead of just resisting the pull from outer earth (outer gravity)
>>37720627
>WE HERBY DECLARE OURSELVES PROUD KEKS
what in the fuck lel my sides are gone
>>37721064
please stop. this isn't how concentric and eccentric forces work. every single exercise has a concentric and eccentric movement. google it.
>>37721064
How high are you right now?
>>37721099
>>37721094
this is how i learned it in school in canada
>>37721064
how do you think gravity works?
>>37721064
surely this is trolling
>>37721155
>>37721156
well if you think about the moon and stuff yeah, air plays a role in it too pushing down on your and stuff
>>37720712
Genuine kek
>>37720627
Is that pic actually serious? Isn't it just some dude trolling and hoping people will fall for it?
This thread
>>37721109
You know how I know you're actually australian?
You are higher from the earth when benching
Thus the gravity is lower
Your chest is probably stronger than your triceps, OP.
>>37721254
Not if you jump on the dinner table to do pushups or live on the second floor.
>>37721265
Fair point, OP probably does his pushups in the basement or something
>>37721261
>that webm
Just use forks?
>>37721272
I'm not poor enough to have a basement, faggot.
>>37721254
>>37721265
you guys don't fuckin understand, air is a cushon under you when you do pushups cause you have your whole body, but when you have just a bar its not cause its so thin
so when you do pushups air cancels gravity but when you bench the bar is thinner so its not as effected by gravity where when you do pushups theres more area so it is. air cancels gravity and gravity cancels air
Can I be in the Reddit screenshot
>>37720712
>>37721278
Why the fuck would you use forks to cut meat?
>>37721254
>>37721265
That's why you always find high ground before excercising
Personally, I always travel to the nearest mountain top before lifting
It's alot of work to get all the weights up, but the massive increase in rep max is certainly worth it
>>37721294
>cut
>clearly shredded chicken
Why we got so many retards in this thread

thx anons, these sublime troll post remind me how important my job as a physics teacher is.
kudos
>>37721294
>cutting
He's obviously shredding it.

"salad"
>>37721307
>>37721315
>being this fucking stupid
When did /fit/ get so retarded bros?
>>37721285
not this anon, but this actually makes sense. if i recall correctly, this was galileo's experiment on the pisa tower. he dropped 2 cannon balls of different weights, proving that things fall faster than each other because of air resistance, not weight.
>>37721313
fuggin 2 am almost my bedtime
i was the dude who posted the other one where some guy called it meathead science hour. breddy funny name tbqh
>>37721327
yeah totally this dude gets it
get in here bro's >>>/b/691929373
You don't actually push your body weight, you need to account for the holes in the plates, so you need to add a little more weight.
>>37721330
>>37720712
>>37721339
>>37721339
also watch out for electric ceiling fans. the motors have magnets, which slightly help pull up the plates you lift, making your true #s seem bigger than they actually are
>>37721327
Yeah, everything you drop accelerates at the same speed in a vacuum because the effort it takes to move a heavy object is directly cancels out it's ability to accelerate faster compared to a lighter object, which takes less effort to accelerate. The only thing left to change the equation is air resistance.

Retard.

You make me want to fucking an hero OP.

diggin the subtle brag my NIG
have an OC MEME my DUDE
>>37721374
Golly gee Oxford?? Have a meme.
>>37721254
No its higher because gravity thinks you're tyring to get away so it pulls on you harder
>>37721381

how does this even make sense

idk my MAN you're the one at OXFORD god dang haha
SHOULDN'T AUSTRALIANS BE ASLEEP BY NOW?
>>37720627
Pushups are more core dominant, also consider that on the bench you're driving your feet into the floor so you're really not pushing with just that upper body.
I may have worded that last bit wrong but I hope you get what I mean, basically pushups work your upper body a hell of a lot more than bench, this becomes especially apparent as you elevate your feet.
Keep working on both though, shit's good for you.
>>37721285
Include me in screencap,thanks
Guys please bump this thread >>37721180

just fucking respond to my hedonism meme dude i changed the face at the bottom just laugh or soemthing im dead inside
>>37721398
Post the full gif, lad.
>>37721285
>>37721327
Air resistance is a force proportional to and always acting in the direction opposite to the velocity. The speeds are too small to make this relevant in either bench pressing or pushups.
>>37721447
Oh no, it's retarded.
>>37721414
This is true, you're not relaxing on your back while doing a pushup. When you think about it it's both a plank and a bench press at the same time, and that's more exhausting.
>>37721461
So should I be doing side pushups for my obliques?
I can do a lot of pushups but not bench my BW for many reps at all. Am I autism?
