NSV! I know it's a small thing to many, but I am so completely proud of myself for being able finally do regular pushups! I completed 3 sets of 8 "boy" pushups last night and might have actually had it in me to do 10 :smokin: I've never had the upper body strength to do more than 5 before!

On top of that, my squat weight is over 100lbs :happy:

    Congrats! I know how you feel, for the first time in my life last year, with Jillian pushing me, I did my first full push up.

    Apparently it's core strength that does it not the arms, as I also thought.

    That's great those boy pushups are really hard to do if you don't have the upper strength:)

    Very cool. Push ups are pretty tough but, as you now know, they are doable :-)
