How do you change your belt? I joined this and it automatically gave me a white belt.

The belt listed on this forum isn't in reference to your actual belt/rank. It's just a way of knowing who's more/less active-as you post more your belt will increase.

there is a series of tasks you need to complete. First off you need to download a video of yourself doing 50 push ups.

I know this is a joke, but I'm curious how many of the members here could actually accomplish such a feat. I'm hoping most of them, but who knows..

I used to work in a bottle shop. And people kept asking for free stuff like stubble holders and junk like that.

So I made them do 50 push ups to earn them.

And most people struggle.

I prefer to hold weight in my hand and do 700 different punches (jab, cross, hook, uppercut, back fist, hammer fist, side punch) than just to do push up.

IMO, there are better thing to do for a MA person than just to do the push up.

I believe you mean "upload". Whatever he downloads, we shouldn't be able to see (unless you've hacked his system).

Do we get to spread this out over 2 sets? If so, I can easily do this.

Some years ago went to a seminar with Jhoon Rhee. I am not sure exactly how old he was but it was 60+. One of his notable demos was 100 Pushups in one minute. He explained right away that they would not be strict push ups in order to reach 100 in 60 seconds. . Still impressive and inspired me to work toward duplicating the feet.

While that kind of thing is impressive, it doesn't really challenge the muscles anything nearly as fully as a push-up. It's something to work toward, at least.
