When I started this program and I did my wussy (girly) push-ups, I couldn't even do 15 without it giving me a lot of soreness in my chest the next day. So, I had to back off and start with 10 or 12 and then work my way up. ANYWAY, last night for my final set I did 10 MANLY PUSH-UPS (feet on the floor, not knees)!! YAY!!

EVERYONE DROP AND GIVE ME 10! :cool:

I haven't done push ups in ages... gave 'em a whirl the other night after my chest work out and noticed they seemed to be done with more ease... I love this fitness thing!
