- lolwaffle, on 11/03/2008, -2/+38Some of us did this in the break tent when we were bored in Iraq. It was usually just push-ups.
- sailadayaway, on 10/26/2007, -2/+32Hey, I used to play this game too, but I used beer...
- iashraf, on 10/10/2007, -3/+28Did you use the America's Most Wanted playing cards?
- Puppetfunk, on 10/26/2007, -2/+21I think those are those Popsicles with Flintstones characters on them and you push the stick and Popsicle comes out of the tube?
- LexMortis, on 10/26/2007, -0/+17I think that would probably kill me.. I'm a feeble geek.
- blazes816, on 10/10/2007, -9/+24I'd just like to say, thank you sir.
- debuggercll, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14Feel the burn.
- Vash265, on 10/10/2007, -4/+17I...uh...that's just so god damned cheesy.
- pugetsound98406, on 10/26/2007, -1/+12I'm an officer in a county jail....the inmates enjoy this workout too.
- edicius, on 10/26/2007, -0/+10See? WordPress does work sometimes.
- wbbb617, on 10/26/2007, -1/+11456 pushups, situps, and jumping jacks in one deck... yeah, sure, ok
- nugge7, on 10/26/2007, -4/+11push-ups?
- erasedgod, on 10/26/2007, -0/+7That might be an exaggeration. We did 5 cards at a time for 3 decks when I was in corporals course.
- sethbrayman, on 10/26/2007, -1/+7I can see it for being late, but for swearing? In the military?!? Apparently the Airforce is a bunch of pussies.
- MikeonTV, on 10/26/2007, -15/+20I'm trying it now only I'm substituting working out for posting ***** comments on Digg.
- Hail2TheKingBb, on 10/26/2007, -1/+6We called it 52 push-up... kind of like 52 pick-up
- YoungDeezy, on 10/26/2007, -0/+5Buddy of mine did some time and told me about this workout. That's how I found out about it.
- strebalicious, on 10/26/2007, -1/+5Why not just use a pinochle deck?
- iptfn, on 10/26/2007, -0/+3I've been training pretty heavily for the Army physical fitness test, and I just tried this. It kicked my ass, big time. I could not finish an entire deck. I could only do 351 of each exercise. This is a great workout. I am usually a little lazy when it comes to resting inbetween sets, and this helped, a lot. By the end, it felt like my muscles were tearing. I kept drawing the worst cards, too. I'd always get two face cards, then I'd always end up drawing an ace and a face card.
- jaredforshey, on 10/26/2007, -1/+4fail
- j0kerz, on 10/26/2007, -0/+3Very nice indeed. This workout kicked my @$$
- haterrade, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5i think this is the 'most stupidest' comment i've seen
/grammar police - jatkins679, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Not as stupid as your lack of grammar skills, slick.
- noumuon, on 10/26/2007, -0/+3ok, my mistake... then the max you would have to do is 30 if you draw a 10 and then an ace....
- jaredforshey, on 10/26/2007, -0/+3Oh I get it, your deck has 4 face cards per suit. Jack, Queen, King,... Marquis? Duke?
- LogicBomB, on 10/26/2007, -0/+3This workout could also be called "do pushups, situps, crunches and jumping jacks for half an hour with 1 minute in between sets".
- erasedgod, on 10/26/2007, -0/+3Dugg for accuracy.
/inter-branch rivalry
Semper fi. - ThecNiqueMan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1EEee some people need culture here.
- tlgjames, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1USAF guy here, we used to do that when we'd say Mother *****, or *****, or 1 card for every minute you're late.
- KEENMACHlNE, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1pretty good stuff. i can manage all the crunches and jumping jacks, but the pushups get me.
- asskicker32, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1we just called it the "push-up-game"
- Crynos, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I've done this one, except I had a different exercise for each suit. One was hindu pushups, one was regular pushups, one was jack knifes and i think the other was crunches.
- bryant, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Sorry, mom, but your random insult is completely lame.
- Synthetik, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1(2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+(10*4)+20)*4 = 416 + 20*2 = 456... 10, Jack, Queen, King /= 5
- wheel, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I've had to play this game, but we did different exercises for each suit. One for regular pushups, one for diamond pushups, and I can't remember the other two. It was a really strenuous workout.
- sockdemon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1That depends how long I had to do the push ups, which was my point. I'm not doubting that this could be an intensive exercise, only that most people wouldn't make it so.
And yes, about joggers, that's also my point: they do 3 hours runs in which they barely become breathless. I've done hill sprints, I also did a circuit where we'd loop round one hill, sprint up it, then loop around the next hill, and sprint up it as well; the course must only have been 700 - 800 metres but the hills meant I was battling a stitch after only the first lap. Me and a friend went back to the second hill, which had a much steeper gradient but was shorter, and did a few sets up and around it with a weighted back pack: we forgot to bring a towel to wrap the plates in so, everytime we ran up the hill they would slide into the back of our heads, and every time we ran down on the loop around they would bounce into our backs. Needless to say we gave up and did circuits with the weights instead. - lilxvietxboi, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2if he meant draw 10 cards... he would have said "draw ten cards" instead of "keep drawing until the total number is greater than 10"
- erasedgod, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I thought he meant throwing the entire deck on the ground, adding up all the numbers on the face up cards and doing an exercise that many times. That'd be quite a lot, I think. Especially since if only 1 suit of each card came up, it'd be 94 reps.
I've done the deck the way you mentioned, too. - Floodle, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2I reckon I could do a complete deck in just under a month, maybe 2
- noumuon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1lol yea, i see your point. i tend to do pushups as fast and steady, while still keeping proper form, as i can, but many people would probably go lax on it. while i also can't knock a 3 hour run, you'd better have run a good 15-20 miles in that time minimum. i'd prefer to do 3-5 miles at a high intensity than do the longer runs, but yea, i was a cross country runner anyways and in competition there's no point in taking it easy. hill sprint routines were always a killer, although nothing is worse than a 3 mile route with a steep uphill at the very end when it comes to racing. :P
- nipterink, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1pics or it didn't happen
- brhad56, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1How did you get 456 exactly? I count 416
(10+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+10+10+10+20)*4 = 416 - merrickx, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1A very common military workout.
The SEALs kicked our asses with this almost every day. We were going through 2 decks a night when we were on watch in Kuwait. Then, we'd watch family guy. Boy, are those deserts exciting! - Soave, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2Psst... the military is currently voluntary.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Yeah and I'm your mom.
- lilxvietxboi, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1i died at the last 10 cards. 10+10 kept on showing up.. and I pulled a 9-A on the last one.. sucked balls.
(you draw until the number is GREATER than 10. 10 doesn't could and you have to draw another) - noumuon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0umm... you have the potential, with this system, to have to do 160 of each type of exercise and then only have 160 seconds before you start again. can YOU do 160 pushups, wait a little under 3 minutes and then do more? oh... and jogging not so much, but go do repeated hill sprints and tell me runners aren't getting one hell of a workout.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0It's not actually. We would do the entire deck, each suit gets its own workout. Would really suck when it was the same one a couple times in a row.
- joegibes, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Hoo-ah!
- Czechxican, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0This is a killer work out. I just did 161 pushups and just about died.
