Cathe and Pushups

Cathlete
I know she's super-human, but what is it with Cathe and pushups? I was doing STS Disk #22 yesterday and had forgotten the TF sets where she's cranking out all these pushups and the crew (and I) are just looking at her in awe.:eek:
 
Yeah pushups are something I need to work on. I don't know how she does it either, it's like she doesn't even feel them or something. I guess she has just become used to doing tons of pushups by now. I can only hope to be at that level one day.

The drop sets in Gym stlyes triceps had my arms burning for a few days :confused:
 
After completing STS, I am finally able to do 10 push ups on my toes; I can't get to the floor, but I usually manage to get to a 90 degree angle with my arms. This is a major improvement over what I used to do. I can bang them out on one knee with the other leg elevated.

Cathe is just super-human I think. :eek: Years and years of working out have paid off for her obviously.
 
Last year I was doing some pushups on my toes, this year, I am back to doing them all on my knees, I have no idea how Cathe or anyone in the videos does ALL of those pushups AND make it look easy.
 
Practice makes perfect! Seriously!

Doing P90X helped me to improve in push ups and pull/chin ups like crazy because they do so many and so often in that program. Once I stopped doing them w/such regularity I started to lose my ability. I think you really just have to keep at it on a regular basis.

You are so right. I feel that I am usually improving (or at least maintaining) when it comes to pushups, because I do them often (although I only dream of keeping up with Cathe). Months ago I was really focusing on pull ups/chin ups and was seeing improvement. But I was quite discouraged at how fast I went back to ground zero when I wasn't working on them all the time.:(
