I'm no exercise physiologist, but wouldn't it help if you worked those muscles some other way than by doing push ups? Mix it up a little.

But with the pushups I just couldn't go past seventy. It was just weird. With all the other excercizes the more I did them, the more reps I could do. But with pushups I just hit a wall with seventy.

Every day I get up and tell my self that this is the day I get past seventy, but it never happens.

I think TM is right. You have stepped up everything else so it's draining energy from your ability to do your pushups. Eat more protein is excellent advice.

So is my sets of 20 advice. When I do them in sets of 20 I can do 200. And I am a skinny-assed girl. It will at least build your confidence, if nothing else.

*adding my anecdotal evidence to Spanky's, she was crazy, had low self-esteem and had a pretty bad coke habit (which tended to make her all the more crazy). she could be a lot of fun though.

What would they do? Share decorating tips?

Uhm, I have had cheaper first dates where I got less play.

You have reached a plateau. You can't keep getting stronger forever. Increase your protein intake and you'll build muscle and get stronger.

TM

i.e., start stacking the D-Bol with the Winstrol, or do as Thurgreed does and get your buddy to write you a scrip for HGH

The main purpose of being there? Without trying to pick one up, I don't understand strip clubs at all. I guess I don't like to be enticed into liking something unless I can have it.

1. Stop telling yourself that; or

2. Get a weight vest or put some books on your back and try to get to 70. After a few weeks of that, I guarantee you break 70 if you remove the weight.

Perhaps get a stripper to sit on his back. Either that, or one of the neighbor kids.

You will get a little bigger, but you're lifting huge weights, so I wouldn't worry about it. But you will get stronger. If you get stronger, you will be able to do more push ups.
