weird shaving armpits? due to BO? strange. I guess I just don't smell muchJandurin
Mine was more for the sweat The smell was a bonus. I don't really even stink after lifting for an hour and then running for an hour now Also, did not really stink after working outside all day in a tire shop ...so a pretty good bonus IMO

That's about as girly as I get :lol:
...except for trimming (not shaving) the business

I just want to smell good and look presentable for the ladies >__>

Well, you have made the heat somewhat less of a bane to my existence. Thank you sir.

oh! my armpits never sweat. *shrug* my belly and my back are all that sweat really I mean, unless I'm REALLLLLLLY running or something. Which maybe you all are doing. I prefer a more relaxed working out :P

Yeah I usually do them in sets of 20. Been a while since I tested how many of them I could do at once...

I guess I can do a proper pushup. Perhaps not a ton of them, but I can probably do a proper set of 10 or something like that.

Actually, the bigger you are, the harder it gets. You don't see too many bodybuilders doing body exercises (pushups, pullups, dips,, etc) Usually small guys (that are strong for their size) can do the most pullups and pushups

That is still good. I bet with your build you could get up to 25 at a time without too much trouble though

i can manage about 60 proper push ups, then about 30 more of "floor humping" pretty impressive comparing my age to some of you guys. im not allowed to drink or drive yet, but im more manlier than some of you wusses! :P to add to the shaving sub topic, i shave my arm pits and chest, also the borders of my "funzone" and trim the rest. i know a couple of guys who shave their legs, but they claim its for their cycling :P

No, they aren't. They are both good, effective ways to build functional strength. I don't see how pitting them against one another is necessary.
