And why would anyone want to risk injuring themselves doing as many press-ups as possible without a warm-up first?

............
I do Circuit Training once a week
I'm just under 13 stone and 6 foot, age 26
i can do 40 from cold with no breaks......but during an hours class probably do a hundred or so with the same amount of situps, crunches, squats blah blah blah
I was crap when I started tho! Took about 4 weeks to get into it and keep up with the rest.....just old injuries that stop me doing it more often

arm's at right angles is a press-up

Ryan...like your salary you once said you had..BOLLOCKS
Ian.....i do em from cold..well i shake my arms about a bit first!
Interested to know....i can do 30 outright and weigh 14.5 stone 5ft 11
Apparently if you can do 40 plus outright you are very strong!
Weak is under 24...normal is 25 to 40
I come out of retirement re training recently and do 40 pressups a day along with 400 sit ups via that ab bar thing that dont fuck the back
...plus use a cross trainer.........

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.

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.
so there is actually some founding behind my excuse then!

Ian...what i meant was if i did sit ups it would cause severe lower back pains...maybe i have a dodgy back?...BUT this thing is so good you can feel just the abs working,your lower back doesnt move!
