Trust me... I can lift ALOT of HEAVY Weight - More than I will admit to here lest people think I'm lying or bragging. This thread was about push-ups, and my goal was fat loss. My push-up routine is what I'm doing now to avoid sitting down for long periods of time. That's also why I walk 12-20 miles a day and do alot of stairs - to burn fat and avoid doing nothing besides sitting in front of a computer screen.
