TIL I can only do 5 pushups

That's probably about 4 more than I could have done a year ago, so I guess that's something?

PirateNinja

YES! You rock Prime!

Feel free to try again any time and report back. With enough time you will be able to do 6, then 7 ..

Anybody else want to report in?

Canti

Never worked in a cubicle reporting in.

Canti

Also, 10 is smalltime.

primesuspect

I feel like that should be an Icrontic badge somehow

TiberiusLazarus

Could be a badge given to someone when they are first to post in a thread. Could probably be automated.

PirateNinja

There might be other secret achievements for those that do pushups and report in, but there is only one way to find out. Just sayin'...

Thrax

50 done.

pragtastic

500... 501...

TiberiusLazarus

Done.

MAGIC

I lost count, I've done so many.

Tushon

Done instead of eating a warm M&M cookie.

I for some reason have a hard time getting past 30, I will do 20-30 push ups 3-4 times a night for the last 3 months, but getting past 30 it just gets friggin hard, 40 is near impossible for me.

Thrax

That's because you haven't built any additional muscle tissue to support the additional endurance required. Once you can do any strength-training exercise 8-10 times in a single set, you've gained all the benefit you're going to gain out of it--no new muscle will be built. Additional repetitions just test the endurance of your CNS and nothing more.

10 done.... 9 and 10 made me woozy

Ilriyas

Is it sad or awesome that for a full minute I just assumed this was @Dunigan?

TiberiusLazarus

I've seen that picture before and am always torn between it being @dunigan or @pragtastic.

@Pragtastic , did you actually do any push ups? If so .. you get an achievement. I just couldn't tell if you did or not from your post.

Theironhand

Gimme gimme gimme! I just did 10!
