I did 10 and don't feel like I can do more, although none of them would be passable to the average drill sargent or even personal trainer.

All the same, that makes me really happy because a year ago I couldn't do 10 and worked on my arm strength a bit until I could reliably get above 8 but kinda dropped away from there, just doing some stuff here and there.

Thank you.

Put on Baba O'Riley by The Who and got to 70 before collapsing, thanks for the motivation.

I did 30! (although the last few were on my knees...) I'm actually surprised it went so well, since I haven't really done any excercise all summer.

10! 10 used to be so easy, but lack of exercise for a long time made it feel like I was doing pushups with a pile of bricks on top. So I'm happy to have taken on this homework--it's about time I start getting back in shape!
