should i do 10,000 crunches in 1 day

[joe90210]

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..

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?



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

No, youd be fine with 400 crunches a day.

blogtv/people/dj12345 i only managed to do about 4,000 that day

yeah 10,000 is a bit absurd, this isnt dragonball Z, its rl man....

[RightCross94]

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 ***ing 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!
