Was anybody into Runescape back in the day?
Me and my brother definitely went to the library a few time to play since dialup at home doesn't really let you play together. I wonder if my character still exists!

I used to play in middle school.  I went back a few years ago and still had my character :)

Found this. You can see my name briefly around 6:59 and then you can see me getting my ass beat around 8:55. Ah the memories.

My family has weekly meetings to plan out the week.  In the summer, it was usually just "Oh, I have one or two things this week."  Even after school started, it still wasn't much since I'm homeschooled.

Yesterday: "I have something going on every day this week."

Oh boy...

Got 17:55 in VVVVVV 100%, which is the first time I've gotten sub-18 :D

Highlights include losing 5 seconds because I had the game muted to listen to music, causing me to miss an audio cue for failing one of the sequence breaks that I get 99% of the time, and 1st try Veni Vidi Vici.

Do you do the pushups quickly or slowly? How do you position your hands?

Not trying in any way to minimize your achievement (congrats!), just curious. I bet by now you must have nailed the technique.

I vary sometimes.. I try to stay with a narrow hand position, under my shoulder socket, and keep my elbows behind me (not out).  I don't really pause at all during each set of 15-25, though last week I had to at some of them as I was tiring out.  I don't go really fast, though.. just down-up-down at a comfortable and fluid pace.

One weird thing I noticed.. when I look back at my feet, it looks like they're always to my left, so my legs are slightly angled.  When I worry about straightening them, I feel slightly less balanced while doing the pushup.  Probably has something to do with my right arm being stronger than my left (or my right shoulder moving weirdly from a lot of volleyball).

The wider you place your hands when doing pushups the more you engage your chest. If you put your hands close together (diamond pushup) you engage more of your triceps. Regular pushups are still more chest than triceps but using the other two hand placements you can focus more on certain muscles. If I'm incorporating pushups into a workout I usually use all three hand placements. Also I would recommend the perfect pushup:

They're harder than regular pushups and really make you work.

They're harder than regular pushups and really make you work.

"Harder" is a very loose term here I think.  Rather, I would say that they force you to use more muscle groups in a single pushup than when you regularly do  them.  Really, the biggest benefit I see from using the "perfect pushup" or something like it is to relieve the stress on your wrists.  Which can be important.

Man. I had four strips of bacon yesterday. Was one automatically undercooked, one automatically overcooked? No, let's put a stop to that right here, all four strips were excellent.

Yeah I think they engage your core muscles more than when you would do a regular pushup. I haven't used them in a long time though so t take my word for it.

I have the perfect pushup, and I actually don't think it's better.  I find that if I spend a while doing these, then I'm not really any better at doing regular pushups.. actually worse than if I had spent that time doing regular pushups.  It's probably good to alternate, to activate different muscles, or the muscles in different ways.

No, no. Those are finger push-downs. Easy mistake to make :P

Man, that was probably the most efficient all-employee meeting I've been in. The question box allowed her to address our concerns with nobody offering up any follow-up questions. I hope all meetings are like this.
