The pushups video

Aside from the fact that a presidential candidate going shirtless like that on video is tasteless and silly, it totally failed as a show-off. Sure, he has those big gym muscles, but they let him down. First of all, he was only doing ladies' pushups, not going all the way down for full pushups. Then he got to about seven and started shaking. He was obviously at the limit, and had to quit after nine. Nobody sets out to do nine pushups. He obviously set out to do ten, and failed. Failed to do ten half (ladies') pushups, shaking like a leaf after only doing nine. I'm the same age as he is, with skinny arms, and I can do ten full pushups without shaking. So his big-muscle showoff routine just showed how useless bulging bodybuilder muscles are. Embarrassing.
