No shoot.

Wouldn't any decent drill instructor demand 100 pushups for
misspelling "Marine"? :-)


He'd be SOL... best I ever did was 72 full pushups.... that is , touching my
chest each time and fully extending my arms on the up portion.

I think I got up to about 32 once. Having 37" arms is not an aid to
pushups. The short armed little guys definitely had the advantage in the
pushup category.

Ha ha ha, now that's ****ing funny. A guy with 37" arms, what's next,
your ten feet tall. Bud your full of it from a quart down 100%. I think you
got the numbers of your arms mixed up with your IQ score.

I needed to lie about my sleeve length to prove my manhood.

Does that make you feel better?

72? Oh heck, I can easily double or triple that. Now of course you'll
need to allow me to perform these pushups 2-3 at a time and over the
course of several days....... :-)

This reminds me to get at my Bowflex again. I moved it down to mom's room a
couple weeks ago as we got ready for our oldest son to visit from out west
