If this was asked of me, I could do it! 20 pushups in one set. This makes me crazy happy since even when I was young I could never do more than one or two.

    Awesome!

    Same here, and not those ****ty "girl" pushups. They should be banned!

    I read once that starting off against a desk and gradually lowering was better because it used form closer to regular pushups. I have no idea if that is true but it hurts my knees to do them that way, so I started against a desk and then transitioned to the floor.

    But I have no problem if others want to do them on their knees, though.

    Thanks! It took me much longer than I expected but that makes it even sweeter, I think.
