But I'l also admit that it's kinda stupid.
Sounds like typical date night for my husband and I.

Oh well, at least I'm better looking than most.
If you're 6'3 and 190, you might have proportionately long arms to your weight that makes it much more difficult to execute a push-up. Pure physics.

I have the same issue, being 5'10 and 125 lbs (aside from having a bad wrist and much less upper body strength, as a woman).

I don’t care if she can do push ups .

I do care that she praises socialism , something that has killed millions across the world and the media worships her .

If you can't do five pushups you're basically an invalid.

I would expect Hillary Clinton to have trouble with five pushups. But an under 30 person of normal BMI and strength should be able to at least do ten without effort.

Remember, libs, EVERYONE IS A WINNER, so EVERYONE GETS A MEDAL.
I won't be choosing my next president based on how many push ups they can do.

The really strange thing is I can beat just about anyone with my left arm in arm wrestling.

And yet I'm right handed.

Did she do a real pushup, or have her knees on the floor? There's a difference.

Only 5 is still pretty bad at any rate, and not something to brag about.

Women don't have upper body strength like men do. In fact, it's considered elite level practically if a woman can do overhand grip chin ups, that's why they have girls do the flexed arm hang instead of chin ups on the Presidential Physical Fitness Test
