An apt metaphor. Fancy, plain, industrial, as long as they get you to the other side.

I did 30 today.

i did 12 in a row with my feet WAY up on a large ball. nose to the mat. i mighta could a done 15

Show off...:frog:

Squirrel: Those are nice racks, and nice bra too. However, it ain't a push-up bra. :nuts:

I can only do 7 but I do have a trigger point ball up from retail work.
( from pulling totes of levis off dollies and they are 150lbs or felt like it)

I am scrawny in the shoulders and .....

Push ups are hard. I wish I could do them.

You guys are doing great!

Has anyone ever seen those pull up bars you can buy to put on your door frame? I wonder if those would be less damaging than a push up?

I was thinking the same thing. I was thinking the only push up I have is in my drawer.

I do 10 pushups, 10 squats, and 30 reps crunches (straight/alternating/straight) every morning with my morning stretches. It only takes 10-15 minutes in my morning schedule (in between putting on my underwear and putting on my pants) to tell my body "I expect you to be able to do stuff."

My left shoulder is not up to any endurance challenges, unfortunately. Mentally, I could force it to happen, but physically I would be minus one good shoulder for a few months.

I've got one slightly used for sale. It was far worse than a push for my arm.

I did 20 inside and 20 outside pull ups today, and 20 dips.

These folks say it is. And for nearly $500. they should be right.

WTF do I know? I'm just a squirell.

you can get underwired bras in size AA in the trainer bra section -wtf?

I can push my credit card bill up no problem. I did several hundred of them already this week.

Back to the original topic . . . ahem. :) My son has a pull-up bar on his bedroom doorway. He does use it for its intended purpose, but has lots of fun swinging on it like a monkey whenever he goes in or out. He can also flip upside down on the thing. And he has the "perfect pushup," which is sort of a handle on a round swivel-thing for each hand, and I think it's way back someplace under his bed.

He's supposed to be doing pullups and pushups for wrestling conditioning, having joined the "push up club" and signed up for 30 a day. Sometimes he even remembers to do them.

Both of my kids won a prize in their PE classes for doing the most pushups and pullups.

Me? I can't even do one. There's just too much gravity.

Let me know when we get to pull ups, so I can completely ignore this thread.:p

Yes Ma'm.
