Re: Pump you Up (Pushups)
I over trained in high school to the point that I was 10 push ups away from setting the Freshman push up record. I did about 90 something at one time. We weren't doing those half-assed ones. We were doing legit, all the way up, all the way down push ups and there was a guy there making sure they were legit.
After I overtrained, my muscles in my arms eventually just started giving out or something. I still have troubles with them even now. I messed up the stabilizer muscle in my arm. It's the muscle that gives you coordination and connects your shoulder to your arm. It hurt like hell. It took like 5 months to complete rehabilitate. I couldn't even shift my car and I was pissed that I had a stick-shift.
Anyway, don't overdo it. Do about 3 sets but don't train every night !! LIke I did. Take a day off in between.
