swimbum21 Says:

Aug 17, 2008 - Hey Scoob, what do you think about Bo's and toe's? do you think they work if you do them right?

drjnet Says:

Aug 17, 2008 - Hi scoob great videos mate. Should my arms be shaking when i do pushups? After just 2 or 3 they shake quite a bit and the muscles seem to get tired really quickly.

fady14us Says:

Aug 16, 2008 - hi , hello . i like your videos a lot thanks loads man. but i got an injury which prevented me from doing push-ups a year ago ( fractured elbow ) my left arm doesn't stretch out too well. it's been a whole year i haven't practiced or done any kind of sports. how can i get back on track, i used to do 45 reps per 4 sets be4 the injury . now only 20 and going down in the later sets

freezefrog Says:

Aug 15, 2008 - jerkily.......haha. did he just make that word up? Seriously though, he seems like a really nice guy and the vid is pretty good. I am terrible at doing pushups and from doing puchups from the knee for about a month I can now do 10 pushups, which is good for me.

Aug 15, 2008 - OH MY GOD! this is so freaking awsome! if you paste this message into 5 other comments and press ALT F12 the name of your future boyfriend or girlfriend will show up on your screen!!! its SOO COOL

jimmy202500 Says:

Aug 15, 2008 - Maybe you have a small frame so you're not lifting very much weight. So if you weigh like 120 pounds. between your chest, triceps and shoulders you're not lifting that much. I don't know maybe wear a backpack with some weights in it if its too easy.

jimmy202500 Says:

Aug 15, 2008 - yea its actually a bit strange seeing a big bulky guy who looks as if he could be the heavy weight champ but seems really gentle...

hotfuzz1988 Says:

Aug 13, 2008 - You seem like such a nice person, thanks for the easy to follow and friendly advice.

GunzNRoses88 Says:

Aug 13, 2008 - im no expert at all, not even close, im only 15, but ive heard tons of stuff about lifting everyday against lifting every other day, ive researched a ton, and i think ive got a good answer. If your body can handle going 2-3-4 days in a row, go for it, if your body is too sore, rest a day. but hey im not saying thats right, i could be wrong, but my cousin lifts everyday and it worked for him, hes very very strong

GunzNRoses88 Says:

Aug 13, 2008 - everyone is different. a friend of mine did 200 a day for a long time and hes ripped

mjd032 Says:

Aug 12, 2008 - ive done thousands of pushups but i havent gotten any results

2fight4 Says:

Aug 12, 2008 - nice guy + good explanation =cool video

BobMak Says:

Aug 12, 2008 - Ahh ok. Thank you for clarifying. I was not aware of the daily ab and leg routine. I am going to have to work that into my regimen. Thank you.

AlexW28 Says:

Aug 12, 2008 - Yea, every muscle every other day exept abs and legs. those you work out every day. Kinda sucks though. my two least fave to workout

BobMak Says:

Aug 11, 2008 - I'm not Scooby, but I have been paying attention to a lot of his workouts and a bunch of others. From what I understand, working the same muscles for two days in a row can be detrimental so my guess is every other day or every two days.

futurebob1 Says:

Aug 11, 2008 - nice lawn gnomes!

Nat3skiz Says:

Aug 11, 2008 - hahaha. Squats are the best in my opinion. I'm sure if you typed leg exercises into youtube or google you'd find good workouts. Good luck.

RobinGothic16 Says:

Aug 11, 2008 - I was going to ask him about a good legmuscle excersise xD but do you a good know one?

Nat3skiz Says:

Aug 11, 2008 - remember to work on your leg muscles too and consume plenty of protein and water after your workout.

S0nArch Says:

Aug 10, 2008 - ya! don't buy that commcercial garbage!

st-exercises/ In my opinion, pushups are the #1 best exercise you can do! They are simple to do and are a great upper body workout for the complete beginner or the advanced bodybuilder. You can get a complete upper body workout by combining these pushups with crunches and pullups, all of which can be done easily at home. Start by doing knee pushups. If you can do more than 20 of these then they are too easy for you and you should do full pushups. We want to start slowly to avoid injury, the first two weeks you will only do this workout once a week: do as many pushups as you can without rest (a set) rest 2 minutes repeat two more times (three sets total) If your joints and muscles feel ok, you can slowly increase the frequency and duration of your pushup workouts until you are doing pushups 3x/week for 20minutes. When you get to the point where you can do more than 20 pushups in all your sets, then its time to move on to a more advanced workout. Please see my website for some suggestions. The reason many people dont get started in bodybuilding is that it seems to complex and intimidating, thats why I recommend starting out with just pushups and with daily walking (10-30min). Its an easy program, you start feeling better immediately, and your brain starts to associate exercising with feeling good. A recent study showed that as little as 10min of exercise a day can do wonders for you mind and body. Once you brain has made the connection between exercise and feeling good, motivation is no longer a problem and you will find yourself wanting to add new exercises. If you are overweight and can only do 3 knee pushups, dont be discouraged, its not the number of pushups you can do that is important but the effort. For those of you who are overweight, think of it this way, you are lifting far more weight in your pushups than your lighter counterparts so its natural that you cant do as many pushups. What is important is that you make progress each week, if you did 3 knee pushups last week, try to do 3 1/2 knee pushups this week. Anyone can be healthier, have more energy, sleep better, and feel better about themselves through bodybuilding. Bodybuilding doesn't have to be expensive or take a lot of time, gyms are great but home workouts can save you time and money. A cheap dumbbell set from a garage sale or walmart is all it takes to get started with your home workouts. Got questions? Ask me on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/GetFit
