I am appalling at pushups. Quite dramatically bad. Give me exercises that involve quads and abs and I can give you a run for your money, but my pushups are made of fail. My clavicles feel like they're going to collapse.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
ita, aren't you lacking a muscle that is sort of integral to pushups? One would think that that would excuse you from them.

I can probably do 15-20 real pushups. (I can do more if they're the girlie kind.)
I'm still working on the pull up issue.

We're amusing Kat, I think
Nah. I was just genuinely curious. Absent being in a PE class, I have no idea how many pushups are reasonable.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm still working on the pull up issue.
I'm quite certain that I shall go to my grave never having achieved so much as a single pull up. And, by now, I'm pretty well at peace with it.

I'm unsure about my pushup limit, and unwilling to test it on a day with a high of 88°. But for pull ups you'd need to have a bear willing to chase me into a tree to find out.

Unassisted pullups are my BIG goal. So far, I think I've accomplished one.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I used to be able to do lots of pull ups, back when I weighed 145#. Now that I weigh a lot more than that, I can't come anywhere close to doing one.
I lost weight and gained a lot of upper body strength the last time I was on crutches. Not really the best method to get in shape, though.

Trapeze helped me be able to do pullups! I never thought I'd be able to do them either. I'm not sure if I could do one now though. Certainly not today at any rate.
lisa makes me laugh and laugh. also go bowm chica bow bowm.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
