    I've been determining for the last two years to break the 20 push ups barrier . But everyday, @18 huff, @19 puff, @20 flat. But very rarely , I wake up from bed on a different way, gracefully. go to the mirror and twists the arms slowly like (Spiderman does after the first bite). And feel some more strength being added up. Never found the reason on what days I get these extra force. All these extra show off is for the +5 pushes. to make it 25. Yes occasionally I reach 25 push ups. :-D

    Every morning I have a similar fitness regime... Up, Down, Up, Down. Then the other eyelid.

          The display of strength, suppleness and co-ordination is extraordinary. They have undoubtedly trained long and hard to make their performance as good as that. On the other hand it is as camp as a tent full of boy scouts.

          D'ya think? The gold body paint doesn't help much and the lamé briefs do nothing to dispel the effect.

                As a critique "It looks gay" is not particularly clever. It is [as you say below] like the Frankie Howerd fan club, but still an amazing display of strength, agility and gold body paint.

                          I've been determining for the last two years to break the 20 push ups barrier . But everyday, @18 huff, @19 puff, @20 flat. But very rarely , I wake up from bed on a different way, gracefully. go to the mirror and twists the arms slowly like (Spiderman does after the first bite). And feel some more strength being added up. Never found the reason on what days I get these extra force. All these extra show off is for the +5 pushes. to make it 25. Yes occasionally I reach 25 push ups. :-D

                          I don't know what causes the barrier, but it's real. For years I was stuck at 40 pushups, and never did get past that point. On the plus side, though I've been out of training for over 4 years, I can still manage 30 or so. Apparently when you gain a bit, you get to keep some of it. :-D

                          Will Rogers never met me.
