Sorry if my question was abstruse, I'm still recovering from some serious jet-lag. Thanks for the responses. It just doesn't feel right not to drop and knock out a set of pushups a few times a day! I suppose I will have to abandon the pushups for now and focus on weight training. As for plateaus with high-rep exercises: I've been comfortably capable of 100 pushups for quite a while now. I find that yes, there is some sort of plateau, but by changing the number of reps in your sets you can train yourself past the plateau within a few weeks. Nevertheless, there is a point when doing so many reps becomes boring...

NDD- Could you expand on that 'genetics' statement? I've heard some other people mention it but they've never been able to offer a decent explanation. Always sounded like they were just being lazy.

Thank you everyone for the advice,
