this might be a completely newb question, but thats why i'm on here, to learn. so too many crunches are no good or crunches are no good? i mean obv 10,000 is too much, but what's the opinion on crunches in general?

Nothing wrong with crunches, but ten thousand is, um, the sort of thing you'd need to train up to. If you sat down cold and tried to crank out 200 crunches at a stretch, you'd likely pull a muscle. If you did 1,000, you'd probably end up with tendinitis. (I developed tendinitis in my rotator cuffs, bilaterally, years ago when I was into bodybuilding and was doing 200 pushups every morning in addition to weightlifting. It took about a month of 4 sets of 50 pushups every morning before my shoulders seized up and I had to go into physical therapy.)

I doubt that even Jack Lalanne could do 10,000 crunches in a day. And he did >1,000 pushups and 1,000 chins at a stretch in his glory days. Which, I believe, are still the world record.

I can do 76 situps in 2 minutes. Not crunches; situps. I can probably do 100 at one go. And I'm pretty damn strong. I might be able to do 500 crunches in a day, 5 sets of 100, before I start to cramp up.

So 10,000? Coming from a keyboard warrior with 11 posts, most of which are asking for advice on a rudimentary training plan, and who still hasn't posted a link to his "live video feed" of this situp endeavor he allegedly did yesterday?

:bsflag:

Sorry, but it sure sounds like another noob's been watching too much Ippo.

No, youd be fine with 400 crunches a day.

10,000 crunches in a day wow!

you do that, and you can type up a summary of how it went from your place in the hospital!



Seriously, no way you could do that without fuking up some joint or tendon or whatever, i think a very fit person who has good technique would get to about 1,000 or so and start not being able to maintain form and feeling some pain

and not only that, but its utterly pointless!

Okay. I just watched your video. I'm impressed. Your first minute you did 80 crunches. That's pretty awesome. Your second minute you actually did more. I counted 89, and you held that pace, averaging 85-90 per minute, for another 7 minutes. Assuming you can hold that pace, you'd need. . .

10,000/87 = 115 minutes.

About 2 hours at that pace to do 10,000. I'm not going to sit here and count them all; I'd suggest you do them with an audience and have the audience count them off. That way, too, we'll know that you're not just showing the same segment over and over. Not that I don't trust you, but you know. The Internet.

I'm impressed by this video, actually.

That's exactly what I said. If he can keep that pace for 2 hours? Hell, I'll give him 20,000 points. And he should set his sights higher, because the world record is 9,268 in one hour. (http://www.stornowaygazette.co.uk/sport/World-Record-crunch-bid.4609962.jp)

The point of Crunches is to emphasize all the effort on the abs while putting no stress on the back.
