an interesting and welcome side affect is that my moobs are shrinking.
I can wear tight t-shirts and not look, er....?

As a target and motivational tool, maybe it's worthwhile.kaiser":gvps02jx said:
But for the exercise reasons stated? Not really.
Getting good at doing 100 pushups is only good for being able to do 100 pushups. And if that's the goal, just for it's own sake, then fair play.
But after a certain point, you've gone beyond the concept of working on strength or muscular development, but not far enough for endurance (nor would that really make sense for such a localised exercise, unless it had direct carry-over to some other sport or physical pursuit).
And as somebody who's been involved in physical culture (exercise, boxing, lifting weights) for decades, I hate this trendy term "core" :-(

Were you ever hugged as a child? This is our last bastion of manly men doing manly things, please try not to burst our bubble and try and join in perhaps. Maybe you drank 10 beers last night, or ate a whole Chicken Phal without water or something....
Oh, just come out and ask it, FFS...legrandefromage":1rpph52k said:

Don't go all wimpy on the Freud thing ;-)
Um, ok, then.legrandefromage":1rpph52k said:
Thing is, though, it's not that manly, really, is it? Given that practically all, here, ride manly, rough terrain, on manly, men's bikes, then 100 push-ups, isn't really that manly, man.
It's more, well, pointless really, man, in a manly way, though, of course.
Well the squat thing - that made more sense.legrandefromage":1rpph52k said:
Or running - say a mile in a decent time. What's a decent time, these days? I'm not expecting people to start running ;-) out and buying sub-4 vest and shorts, like.
Or jump rope / skipping for 20 minutes - bonus points for double-unders.

due to dodgy knees I cant run, although I can sprint so watch yourself there.
As raiding villages, raping the women and livestock is out these days, 100 press ups is the most benign thing to be doing when you look alarmingly like a Viking in the 21st century.
Now join in with the drinking games or you're out and back to your muesli
