possibly you could, but not 168 million.

Why is there a women's basketball that is smaller and lighter than a "standard" basketball and why is this used all the way through the professional level? Are these professional athletes not able to dribble, pass and shoot the same basketball as a man? I am UP IN ARMS about this nonsense. It's also easier to make shots…

Well you see, actually it is what they are called. If not, this thread wouldn't even exist and googling "girl push up" wouldn't populate 168,000,000 results.

Get your common sense and logic out of here. There is no place on MFP for that nonsense.

No one has " diminished women and reinforced gender roles by labeling a modified push-up a "girl push-up", they have been called this for 100 years and some way some how girls still manage to do regular ones when they are strong enough. It's crazy.

No way, gots to complain about the term "girl push ups" It's what is casuing childhood obesity among girls.

A few of the girls could = most couldn't, hence the reason for girl push ups. Not a hard concept.

I have to be concerned about something to have a memory? I wasn't "concerned" about doing math either but I can still remember how to do that.

Most obese people can't do push ups. 1/3 of school age children are overweight-obese. Obviously your daughter isn't and is athletic/strong, she is not the "standard" for that age but rather an outlier, which is a good thing. Shall I draw a picture?

Quote me where I said they shouldn't be able to TRY to do regular push ups. I'll wait. Some girls can do standard and if they can then they should instead of doing girl push ups. If they can't then they should do girl push ups, same thing for boys who can't do standard. They are still called girl push ups though.

Well we all had PE together and back inthose days we tracked how many we could do, how long it took etc and had some competition. Not hard to read that little chart.

Riiiiiggggghhhtttt, girls doing girl push ups VS standard push ups is what is causing the obesity epidemic in America. I would go to DC with that idea.

I am weak because I am a 27 year old man and claim that most school age girls couldn't do a standard push up and even sometimes girl push ups when I was in school? That makes perfect sense.

your daughter is obviously the standard in school age children, not the actual figures which are 1/3 fall into the overweight or obese category.

Did you just compare slavery to calling a push up on your knees a girl push up? LOL. Feminists crack me up. Should we not call women's restrooms women's restrooms? I mean technically women CAN use the men's restroom.

Things must have changed in the last 17 or 18 years since I was in school because a lot of the girls then couldn't do girl push ups.

More politically correct crap it appears. Who cares that he called them girl push ups? They have been called that for 100 years. Most girls that age aren't strong enough to do regular push ups.

Every day and keep a log of weight, H20%, BF% and muscle %. The scale isn't accurate on these % but it is constant so it gives you an idea of where you are heading. I find that daily log helps me keep a better track of how my weight fluctuates and makes it easier for me. If I weighed once per week I may weigh on an…

Yep, both are pretty terrible blended whiskey. Add some canadian mist and maybe everyone who drinks it can puke after a few drinks.

You can never have enough moose.

Lol. I love how people think only light beer garbage comes from America. Let's not mention we make some of the best craft beers in the world. We won't even bring your alls sorry excuse for "whiskey" into the argument just to save some face.

I agree with the small goals. If you are looking to lose 150 it is going to take a while and while losing 3-5 pounds in a month is good progress it may seem like nothing when you are looking at the big picture and thinking that it will take forever and get discouraged. I have done this myself and I only needed to lose…

I am doing one this month. First day is 30 seconds, then 35, then 30, then 40, 30, 45, 30, 50, etc. You kind of get a "rest" day every other day with a 30 second plank and then the other days it increases 5 seconds each day all the way up to a couple minutes. I can def tell I am getting better at it and able to hold longer.

Do you think it may have had something to di wtih you being so young also? I'm not meaning that in a derogatory way, just that you were 10-15 years younger than them also and some people are quick to judge people who have children at a young age. Just a thought.

I really wish you knew how to type and speak in coherent sentences. Might make your trolling a bit more successful.

This. I don't know why people are saying this is a big trasaction that will effect management. Maybe at a dollar tree would $500 be a big deal but not an expensive clothing store.

common sense and responsibility? How have you lasted this long on MFP?

hopefully you are right.
