Last time I attempted push-ups I was barely able to squeeze out two. (Yeah, I know. Pathetic.) Today, on a whim, I decided to give it another go, and whipped out 10 without much trouble. I think I'm starting to understand the guys at work who drop down and do push-ups at random moments in the day. It's getting so it's almost ... fun! :o ;D

Haha neat. Push-ups are definitely fun. I suspect arm wrestling and pull-ups are the next on the list? :P ... Man I wish I was better at pull-ups...

Haha yeah the same thing happened to me but I was really gauging by pull ups. I could barely do 1 and now I can pump out at least 15 no problem.

yeah, it's kind of surprising. it's almost unfair by how lop-sided it is compared to females. but oh well. ;D

Maybe I'll have to try that, LOL.
That said, I'm up to 25 pound free weights when lifting, which is a huge accomplishment for me.
I'm loving every second on T!

I remember 25 pounds per arm was the most I could manage pre-T for bicep curls... it was a plateau that I just couldn't break. Then T happened. Granted, I only got up to 30-35 lbs on the curls before I stopped working out. I'm looking forward to the day when I can start working out again.
Oh yeah--and pushups are more fun now. Can't wait 'til I can do those again, too.

I'm a thorough wimp. I tried doing some a couple days ago
...couldn't even get one because my knee caps started hurting
That's pretty sad
