LMAO well your arms actually don't have a great deal to do with it it's more chest/shoulders......unless you're doing "Ryan style press-ups" If you're actually doing the press-ups until failure then you risk injury by not warming up first.

Apparently if you can do 40 plus outright you are very strong!
That is a rather misleading thing to say as there are 2 types of muscle fiber IIRC(power & endurance respectively). So if you have alot of Type 1 & not many of the Type 2 (ie. by genetics) then you will never be able to do a huge number of press-ups/whatever in comparison to someone who has loads of Type 2 & not many Type 1.

along with 400 sit ups via that ab bar thing that dont fuck the back
What a gimmicky pile of shit they are
