Who can do 20 push ups right now?

cantbecivil
Just on a whim I tried to do 20 push ups. I got to 17 and I couldn't do another.


Anyone else a little less thank thrilled with their fitness?

    i "used" to do 20 while doing a handstand, 20 each arms, now 20 regular ones is about max

    you have to do them fast upside down or you'll pass out

    The only reason I can't is due to my right elbow that was reconstructed and has a bunch of metal in it!

    I have permanently lost about 20% of the total range of motion in that elbow![:(]

    Yes, still can, as I just found out!
    Doesn't mean I am "thrilled" with my fitness level though.[:0]

    I've been in a couple of triathlons, a couple of 5K and 15K runs and a few mountain bike races this year. I'm in the best shape I've ever been in. I could swim from here to Ky right now.[;)][;)]
    But I hate push ups. I think I always will. Could never do too many at all and they suck.
