Apparently today, at the office, has been reminisce about the old days and old man competitions. Mike, a co-worker of mine, who is 56, 5’5″, and 145 lbs soaking wet decided he wanted to prove he could still hang. His claim was to do 20 push ups in one minute and he asked us to time it for him. He was able to get his 20 in before 30 seconds was up and called it a day.
This all came up because another co-worker of mine, Kumar, came up to me when I got here this morning and was pounding me on the shoulders saying loudly “I want THESE.” I told him that I got them from years of working out, sports, etc. He apparently had gotten push up bars and was trying to get into shape. My boss, John, asked Kumar how many push ups he was able to do and his reply was, “Successfully… one.” It was pretty funny all around and that got John talking about his basic training for being an officer in the Air Force when he was 20 and Mike talking about his wrestling days in high school.
This is what helps me pass the time at work, it’s great.
