I managed to barely hang on to push out a 68th push up today to start my workout, one more than my birth year of 1967. It gets very painful to both push and hold the plank lockout position once you get past 55 reps or so. During the last half dozen reps I shifted my weight more onto my right arm while holding plank as my left side was on the verge of giving out. Doing max reps of any bodyweight exercise is a great way to get your body more accustomed to working in the uncomfortable zone, where real progress is actually made.
