Ask the average guy to drop down and give you as many Push-Ups as he can…. If he’s allowed to do them like the dude in Video 1….he’s giving you 15, 20, maybe even 25 If he’s forced to do them like the dude in Video 2….he might get 4
Jason Helmes@anymanfitness

How many push-ups (all the way down and up, zero cheating) do you think the average guy can do? Not gym rat. AVERAGE guy. If I had to guess, I would set the over/under at 8.5. Maybe lower.

🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸 He spent 30 years making sure other soldiers came home. In the end, he did not. Command Sergeant Major Martin Barreras began his military life in 1983 with the Marine Corps. In 1988, he joined the Army and eventually served 22 years with the 75th Ranger Regiment. Elite units. Hard missions. No margin for weakness. Panama. Haiti. Iraq. Afghanistan. He was there. During Operation Just Cause and Uphold Democracy. During multiple deployments after 9/11. He led from the front, not from behind a desk. Soldiers trusted him because he had been where they were. In 2003, during the rescue of Jessica Lynch from an Iraqi hospital, Barreras helped secure her evacuation. Under fire, he ensured she was transferred safely to a helicopter. He also fought to recover the bodies of 9 fallen American soldiers so they would not be left behind. That was who he was. No one left behind. By 2014, he was the top enlisted leader for his unit at Fort Bliss. A Command Sergeant Major. Calm. Humble. With a sharp sense of humor that cut tension in hard places. On May 6, 2014, while on patrol in Herat Province, Afghanistan, he was wounded in a fierce firefight. Even then, his focus was not on himself. It was on his soldiers. He was evacuated to San Antonio Military Medical Center. On May 13, he passed away from his w*unds. The Army lost a warrior. His family lost a husband and father. His soldiers lost the steady voice that had carried them through war. His battalion commander once said he would do absolutely anything to bring his soldiers home safely. He proved it. For decades. Through every deployment. Through every firefight. Headlines came and went. Wars shifted. But somewhere, Rangers remember the man who stood beside them in the hardest moments. Martin Barreras lived for his soldiers. And gave everything in the end.

🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸 Bruce Crandall kept turning his helicopter back toward the gunfire. It was November 14, 1965, in the la Drang Valley, Vietnam. American soldiers were surrounded and outnumbered. Enemy fire was so intense that medical evacuation helicopters refused to land. Wounded men were bleeding out on the battlefield. Crandall did not accept that. Born on February 17, 1933, in Olympia, Washington, he was a 32 year old Army major commanding an air cavalry unit. When he learned that injured soldiers were trapped without ammunition or medical support, he made a decision that could cost him everything. He flew into the landing zone. Not once. 22 times. Each time, bullets ripped through the air. His helicopter was hit repeatedly. The landing zone was barely secure. Soldiers dove for cover as he touched down. He delivered ammunition. He loaded the wounded. He lifted off again into enemy fire. Other pilots refused to fly. Crandall kept going. By the end of the day, dozens of soldiers were evacuated because he refused to leave them behind. Many later said they would have died without those flights. For his actions, he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. It was later upgraded to the Medal of Honor in 2007, 42 years after the battle. He had already retired as a colonel. For decades, few outside military circles knew his name. He once flew straight into overwhelming fire 22 times so others could live. Recognition came nearly half a century later.

Donald Trump the man is very flawed, he undoubtedly knows it, and really, I don't think he cares. Donald Trump the President is one of the greatest leaders of a nation that the world has ever produced.

I've made ads for the Super Bowl before. Spent millions to make them and air them during the Big Game. But this one -- this is the one that made the most impact. Zero media dollars. 40m views. Because it speaks the truth. Ban us all you want. Truth outs in the end.

Ronald Reagan was the first U.S. president who had been divorced. His first marriage, to actress Jane Wyman, ended because she chose to walk away. By all accounts, she wasn’t the easiest person to be married to — she filed for divorce from her second husband just a month after marrying him, and her third marriage didn’t last long either. But Reagan’s second marriage, to Nancy, was a different story. They were together for 52 years, and their relationship was widely seen as a model of love and partnership. In 1971, when Reagan was Governor of California, his eldest son Michael was getting married. Reagan couldn’t be there in person, so he sent him a letter. What he wrote wasn’t just a note of congratulations — it was honest advice from a father who had lived, learned, and deeply valued his own marriage: Dear Mike, You’ve probably heard all the jokes from people who are bitter or cynical about marriage. But here’s the truth: you’re about to start the most important relationship in your life. And it will become whatever you choose to make it. Some men try to act tough by living like the guys in locker room stories — thinking that what their wife doesn’t know won’t hurt her. But believe me, even without lipstick on your collar or shady excuses about where you were at 3 a.m., a wife always knows. And when that trust starts to break, the magic in the relationship starts to fade. More often than people realize, the ones who say marriage doesn’t work are the same ones who put the least into it. It’s like physics — you get out exactly what you put in. If you only give half, you’ll only get half back. Sure, there’ll be moments when you’re tempted — when you notice another woman or miss your old single life. But I’ll tell you something: real strength, real masculinity, is sticking with one woman your whole life. Anyone can cheat — that’s easy. But to stay interesting and loving to the same woman, through all the normal, messy, everyday stuff — that takes real character. If you love her, really love her, you’ll never embarrass her by flirting with others or making her question where you’ve been. And you’ll never put her in a position where another woman could give her a knowing smile — like she knows a secret your wife doesn’t. Even for one second. You, more than most, understand what it’s like to grow up in an unhappy home. Now, you have the chance to build something better. There’s no greater feeling than coming home after a long day and knowing someone’s waiting just to hear the sound of your footsteps. With love, Dad P.S. Say “I love you” at least once a day. It really does help. Those words came from more than just a father — they came from someone who knew what marriage meant and how important it is to nurture love and loyalty every day. Reagan made sure Nancy never had to doubt she mattered. He made sure she always waited for him with love. As people say, you reap what you sow. And Nancy — graceful, strong, and loyal — chose him just as much as he chose her. She wasn’t just the First Lady of the United States. She was, first and always, the First Lady of his heart. And Ronald Reagan — the strong, determined leader known to the world — never forgot who he was at home: a husband, a father, and a man who truly loved his family. Like many good men in this world.

🇩🇰🇬🇱 DENMARK FORCEFULLY STERILIZED THE LOCALS TO REDUCE THEIR NUMBERS! “I will never have children,” Petersen said with tears of anger and sorrow welling in her eyes. “That choice was taken from me.” Suffering from severe uterine problems, a medical doctor discovered an IUD birth control device in her body that she didn’t know she had.  Danish doctors had implanted it when she was just 13 as part of a population control program for thousands of native Greenlandic girls and women.  That’s sounds like a colony.

Augusta Diaries (Sunday before) -Got to Augusta National around 1pm. Drove thru Magnolia Lane. That drive is so cool and it never gets old knowing you’re there to play the Masters. I drove super slow to try and take it all in haha -Went to get registered, got my courtesy car, and grabbed lunch at the clubhouse. They had an option for a sample of all three sandwiches which I finally tried. Pimento was 7/10 egg 7.5/10 bbq pork 8.5/10. New England clam chowder was a 9/10. -Went to the pro shop for some early shopping. Got some goodies and will come back later. -Warmed up for a little bit. That range is so pure, barely anyone there because it was later in the afternoon. Went to play the front nine, played with Johnny Vegas. -Greens were FIRM. Like Sunday firm. They weren’t that fast. I think they’re getting them ready for the rain. Hit some nice shots hit some so so shots. These greens are pretty crazy. -Putting from just off is really tricky. It’s so slow with the grass mowed into you but the greens are fast so that contrast makes it difficult. That mow makes bumping into them also super tough -Augusta is super hilly, my goodness. -Grabbed dinner and getting my tickets sorted. -Thinking about doing these each day if people like it.

Is the Wyndham embedded ball “issue” that it didn’t go into his own ball mark? Or that because it bounced out, it’s not embedded? If it’s the latter, it doesn’t matter that it briefly came out of its own pitch mark. It only matters that it’s your own and if it went back in, it’s considered embedded. From the video, it looks like it went into his own and I don’t have any issue over what he did.

Hey Chris. Nicholas Baer here. I know your shtick is to malign the program for engagement, but this is disingenuous even for you. - All-time winningest coach in program history - Took Iowa from a bottom dweller to perennial top half B1G finishes & BTT title - Developed NPOY and a catalogue of all B1G players while being at a consistent recruiting/resource deficit Grading this era as a C+ is recency bias and flat out wrong.

C+ when factoring in everything on/off court

It'd be nice if we got an announcement regarding Fran prior to the Michigan State game on Thursday. It's time to move on but he deserves a nice crowd reaction. He's done a lot of good things for Iowa Basketball. Again. It is time to move on.

@MariaTCardona How about all of the military service members that got involuntarily separated in 2013 & 2014 during personnel draw downs after multiple combat deployments. They timed the cuts to ensure that the people cut would NOT get any retirement benefits. Respectfully, fuck off.

I hope when Trump carries out his mass deportation, journalists drag every bit of it out into the light of day. Americans need to see what they voted for. DON’T FORGET: Mass deportation IS family separation. Cruelty was the point the first time—this will be a supersized version.

Joe Biden hired people based on their gender and race. Donald Trump hires people based on how loyal they are to him. Both are problematic because people are not hired based on merit and competency.
