Re: Pump you Up (Pushups)
[ QUOTE ]
Just as important as increasing the number you do is making sure that you're doing them correctly (straight back, breaking parallel). I think a lot of people will overlook this.

This is very true. And it is why the number is not the important part. It is the amount of improvement.
If you can only do 5 standing pushups against a wall there is nothing wrong with that. And in 1 week you can do 10 I bet. After 3 weeks you will be doing knee pushups with ease.
Try and do them with good form so you don't hurt yourself. But it is ok if you cheat a little on form to get a extra rep or 2.
At the end of the week we just report how many more we can do.
