Yellow Fang Aug 2008 9:24pm, 3 Aug 2008 151 posts	Quote Pin Yellow Fang I used to be able to do 125 press-ups, but I'm not sure they were legal. It used to bl**dy knacker me out though. Oxygen debt, wobbly back, legs and arms, five minutes psyching up and five minutes recovering. At circuits I tend to do fewer, slower pressups, mostly because if I do them quickly it annoys the instructor who then decides to make them harder.
Cuddy Aug 2008 9:32pm, 3 Aug 2008 32 posts	Quote Pin Cuddy I read the website and it actually suggests doing them on your knuckles if you have weak wrists! I don't think I'll be doing that!...never mind that my nails would pierce my palms...lol

Belper Bear Aug 2008 9:10am, 4 Aug 2008 757 posts	Quote Pin Belper Bear Day 1 for me today. My Gp says I'm unlikely to be able to do it because of damage done to my arms and shoulders in a car accident some years ago. He is, of course, wrong and I'm looking forward to proving him wrong:-)
