    It was a mental thing. I remembered from 30 years ago my brother being able to do 100 press ups and I decided to have a go and I just sort of got carried away. Was not looking for any muscle build up. I was much better at sit ups though - could do 'em all day - remember 1 session where I got a friction burn/blister at the base of my spine, think that was a 2000 day.
