Sounds like your daughter was teaching English when I was there...that would've been weird if I ever ran into her, although I only took one English class and my teacher was male.

All right, you guys are obviously way stronger than I am. Tonight wasn't bad at all, Saturday will be a bit harder. I'm kind of excited about this though.

I got a bench a friend gave me its in the room me and no one else enters, the home gym room! We got a exercise bike, treadmill, the press bench and some other thing that I have no idea is. Anyways the steel bar thats used for the weights can only support like 35 pounds. I just need to get a new bar and some more weights.

Anyways I turned out to be level 3 on my test.

It's a waste of money, considering it doesn't make as many muscles work out as push-ups, and it costs money! Which I don't have!

I could bust out 100 pushups and 100 situps pretty easily in high school... JROTC training. I dunno how many I can do now... I'll have to find out.

I think I could have when I was younger, but since I retired I lost alot of strength in my chest and arms.

At one time I had great upperbody strenght, form doing motor work, but not now.

If you don't use it ya' loose it.
