i need to do as many pushups and situps as possible in two minutes. its part of the army pt test. and i was ust thinking, since that is an endurance thing and not a strangth thing as much, could you do a sort of hiit training method with both pushups and situps. like do burnouts for 15 seconds and the regular rate for 15. would this be better then just doing a whole bunch of pushups?
Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
hiit the pushups?

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

decline push-ups
place feet on chair, do push-ups until tired. 3 times a day
i used this to improve my push-ups from 25/min to 70/min.
sit ups: 43 is the passing mark, yes?

Ok, here goes;
Sittups- just do it twice as slow... by doing that ur excerting more power and putting more effort onto the muscles... the slower you do it the harder it gets... bend ur knees (like ud ussually do), cross ur hands over ur chest, and dont forget; if u dont want a stiff neck by the age of 25... then the trick is always to look at the sealing... trust me...
rotate the positioning of ur legs so that you could work on other parts of ur abs...
Pushups- Correspondingly, do it slow for a better effect... and if u wanna change the resistence just move the positioning of ur hands... the closer they are to eachother, the harder it is... no need to place ur feet on a chair... it wont make much of a difference... and, nevertheless, its not good for u as the blood flows up to ur head which may result in a migrain...
You wanna build muscles as quick as possible..? gain strength...? eat 30g of protein b4 each workout...(eggs, fish, meat, shakes, etc...). Likewise, you could also use amino acid pills... amino acid is essential in building and repairing muscle tissues... im not gonna get into all this crap now coz i dont have time... most of what i said is probably obvious, but i thought it wouldnt hurt reminding u...
Cya later muscle boy...

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Lt Dan,
Where are you stationed at? I'm in Hawaii right now at Tripler Army Medical Center. Got a lucky assignment. I'm a 91W (Combat Medic)
As far as maxing the PT test for push-ups I can do it pretty easily. I'm 19 so I only need 71 to max. I usually knock out 45 in the first 50 seconds then rest for 10 seconds and then do like 10 and then rest and another few sets of 5.
Any advice on maxing those sit-ups? I usually finish with around 70 and my run is around 14:00 but will improve.
Take care

I saw the screen name and figured you were already in. ROTC and the officer route is DEFINITELY the way to go if you plan on making a career out of the Military. I'm considering finishing up my time and getting out to finish me Bachelor's and then re-enlisting as an Officer. Depends though
Good Luck!
Good Luck!
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Yes u do, sorry.
You drink/eat protein b4 and after... half an hour the difference....
Why b4, why after?
before- so that the amino acids that are broken down by the protein will create new muscle tissues..
After- after you work out, your muscles are obviously damaged... and, one of the functions of protein is to repair muscle tissue... ergo, have protein half an hour after in order to repair the muscle that was damaged during the workout...
ciao
