I also do the closed-position push-ups (hands together, fingers and thumb forming a diamond-shape) for the upper arms.
I can do that as a variant of doing push-ups against a wall, right? Because floor-type push-ups are Not For Me.

Could someone please help the nice lady who sometimes skips too much? What is this trixie dress and where can I find it? I need to look and see if I want one.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yep, or with your hands on a (stable, please!) chair or some other intermediate height -- more resistance than the wall when you're ready to move up, but nowhere near as hard as the floor.
Tricep dips are awesome, IME, but I'm somehow dorkily required to give the standard disclaimers of Way Recommended For Strength But Visible Results Will Vary From One Body To the Next; and No Such Thing As Localized Fat Loss (Even Though Localized Strength Training Works Like Whoa).

What does the Trixie dress usually run?
I wish they had a pink one.

... and thank you, Sue! I was kinda hoping someone would ask, because while I'm unlikely to buy one, I was intrigued by all this talk of polka dots!

grins at disclaimers
Yeah, I know. But I figure doing tricep dips at my desk every day is better than doing nothing at all.

Thanks Sue, I found the site myself with a bit of googling--and a good eye for what dress might appeal to a wide variety of buffistae. It *is* a very cute dress, I might need to order it too. I'm liking the cherry print, but I know I'm not an XS, so I'd probably go with the navy. Not sure the sizing works for me, I think my boobs need an S and my waist needs an M.

Am not buying new clothes. Am not.
OMG I want to just shower and go to bed, but have to wait another hour or so for someone to come pick up some keys and then there is the business of bathing and getting mac to bed.

Burrell, it should be elastic enough for the smaller size to work.
