When I first started working out, I couldn't even do pushups from the knees.

I am now finally able to to dead-stop pushups!

    That's a great NSV! It shows how in shape you're getting. Damned right to be proud of it. :)

    That's great! that is one of my short term goals. Do a real push up. Hopefully I'll get there soon too.

    I got there at 58 years old. It took a lot of hard work, many variations on a theme, and then they finally were there. If I can do it, anyone can!! Now I'm 59, the TRX is my best friend, and yes, I can still drop and give you 10. Heh, heh.

    Good job! I know how it is. I love the way I feel when I can surprise myself with the amount of pushups and crunches I could do now compared to 4 months ago.

    Congratulations! I'm still on wall pushups because I have a stupidly weak upper body with even weaker wrists. I'm jealous of those of you in the pushup club!
