    I don't know why we're arguing about pushups when we're talking about strength, anyway. Pushups are an endurance exercise.
    I think the key point here is with similar levels of training.
    Oh wow, thanks. Some of us try and be fair and give unbiased information, and we get lumped along with the others anyway. Thanks. :rolleyes:

    Yeah, ironing and bending down to feed the kids and put the shopping away definitely aids flexibility, hence mens lack of flexibility :D :Angel: :D

    Naw, I reckon men's inflexibility is down to all the sitting around eating pies and farting! :p :D

    The point of pushups is to increase upper body strength-endurance. At least the classic pushups, there are loads of pushup varieties that can be used as a strenght exercise, but after one has reached the high-reps its just endurance. Of course, for someone who does less then 20 pushups, their still a little in the strength training zone.

    Many fighters use pushups, situps and bodyweight squats for loads of reps as strength-endurance training for sparring/fighting. (500 bodyweight squats are considered pretty good...give it a go and see what THAT does to your will to live! :)

    I'm more concerned about what it's going to do to my ability to squat my bodyweight.

    Hahahaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!

    It could also be partly down to their egos - men usually don't like doing anything that's not masculine.

    Who the CRAP would want to be a world champion at ironing?????

    Extreme ironing is COOL no matter what anyone says. If you guys think you can iron a shirt perfectly while up to your shoulders in a fast-streaming river...

    And that aint girly :)

    If you keep it together enough to iron a shirt whilst free-falling, you can already do a lot of things.. :cool:

    I could never do a pullup, not even in elementary school when I was twiggy... But I do them with that awesome machine that lets you counteract some of your body weight, so you still get the same exersize even if you cant do all of your bodyweight. Love it....
