No Snow Angels just Snow Push ups!
That’s right…Man Bicepers even do push ups on mountain tops in snow.
Thank you Judy for these wonderful push up pictures! You and Libby are awesome!

Love it!
Push ups on the Playground
So the day after Thanksgiving, it is always nice to get in a bit of a workout. We took a nice long walk through the neighborhoods near us before heading to the playground to do some push ups and pull ups.
Ryan managed to show me up with 15 straight pull ups while yesterday I could only do 11 (and these are dead hang pull ups with no swing mind you). Drew managed to bust out 2 in the end (yay for rock climbing!).
The Man Bicep Mom was a bit too short to reach the bar…so I picked her up. She was so distracted by the fact that I just picked her up that she laughed instead of doing a pull up.
After the pull ups, we did some fun push ups around the park! Here are some pictures of them!

Bleacher push ups!

Is this worth a T-shirt or what!
So yesterday I got an email that said, “Is this worth a T-shirt or what!”
Yes Buell, this is definitely worth a t-shirt! Awesome boat-to-dock push up!!!
I want a “Show Me Yours Shirt!”
You won’t ever guess how old Marilyn is…and I’m not telling!
Before we took a picture of her doing a push up, she performed some balancing move that was more impressive than the Crane. She bragged to us that strong men have tried and failed at this move (And trust me we all tried to do it to no avail!).
Thank you Marilyn for the push up picture taken behind our front desk! Soon you will be rocking out a Man Bicep t-shirt!
A Big Push Up Fairwell for Vesi!
Vesi you were one of the first Man Bicepers and we will miss you! You must come back and visit often!
Keep lifting and show your girls what being a strong, fit woman really is all about!
A very nice weighted push up! 😉
Man Bicep Push Up Craze – Attempting The Impossible Push Up
Here are our first attempts at The Impossible. Try it!
Push Ups and Pilates
We were determined to conquer “The Impossible.” What is “The Impossible” you ask?
It is a ridiculously hard push up designed by Tony Horton. To perform The Impossible, you must have a yoga ball and a medicine ball. You must balance your hands on one medicine ball with your feet up on the yoga ball.
I discovered The Impossible the other day while I was reading The Great Fitness Experiment. Charlotte and her gym buddies decided to attempt it. I must give them kudos…a few bruises and multiple attempts later, they did accomplish a few reps of The Impossible.
Which of course presented a challenge to me. If they could do it, then I had to too! Plus, it fit right into our Push Up Craze! How could I turn down an opportunity to do a crazy push up!?!
So today we set about attempting The Impossible. I have our attempts (and our eventual success) on tape!
People usually say something is easier than it looks…this push up is not one of those things! Anyway, I’ll post the video as soon as I’ve put some awesome music behind it! 🙂
After we attempted The Impossible, we did a nice heavy squat and pull up day (with some shoulders) before heading out to Pilates. The squats (after 2 hours of spin yesterday) weren’t easy today. Actually they sucked.
And pull ups…not my best day BUT I’m still happy with 30 unassisted pull ups. AND Candy has set a new PR with 7 unassisted pull ups!!! YAY for Beast Jr.!!
Tired but happy, we then headed over to BodyScapes Brookline for our first Pilates session on the reformer machines. (A BIG shout out to all of our peeps over at Brookline…SEND US PUSH UP PICTURES!!!!).
Anyway, Mike set us up with a session with Devona (who is AMAZING!). We did a variety of different moves on the machines. Devona complimented us on our strength…DUH!…we are Man Bicepers! 😉
BUT she also pointed out how freaking tight we both are! 😦 I’m ashamed to admit it…but it’s true…My shoulders are SUPER SUPER tight and Candy’s hamstrings…WOAH! haha
She pushed and pulled but most of the time we didn’t budge. We may be strong, but our flexibility definitely needs some work!
So starting Monday…flexibility will be a new priority of the Man Bicep sisters!
Push ups everywhere even in the air!
So the Man Bicep Mom and my sister, Drew, sent me some wonderful push up pictures.
They did some primal push ups while hiking…

And Drew took some more while she was rock climbing!
Thank you Man Bicep Mom and Drew!!!
Now…Where else can we bust out some push ups?
