 rest. At
some point, when I was working out a lot, i was obsesed with bench-pressing,
and trained a lot of them. The result was an onverdeveloped chest, and
triceps, while the rest was just more regular looking. It just made me look
more bulky, but I don't think it made me anymore healthy.

I ignored my legs, and biceps, and at some point ended up injuring my knees,
playing soccer, mainly b/c I just didn't exercise my legs as the rest of my
body.

Lesson learned. You have to go to the gym, and do all the range of excercises,
and not just one kind.

I got chills reading your comment - there's a relatively new "100 pushups"
meme on Reddit that was precipitated by a comment very similar to yours:

For me it really goes with stress. When things are running smoothly and I have
a decent amount of free time, I sleep well, eat healthily, and work out
regularly. When things are busy, and I have a huge to-do list, my stress level
is way up, and there's tons of stuff demanding my time, I sleep less and
poorly, I crave carb and fat rich foods when I'm stressed, and I have a much
harder time taking breaks to workout, etc...

Right now I'm dealing with my first house purchase and a cross-country move on
top of my normal work, and my health has taken a big dive. Hopefully once I
move and things settle down, I'll get back on track.

Sweet, I just joined giveme27.com after reading this. Haven't done push-ups
for a few weeks, but I saw that the site's high scorers were only at 60 and
40. Couldn't quite hit the #1 myself, but seeing others' numbers certainly
motivated me to try harder too!

 some point, when I was working out a lot, i was obsesed with workbench - press,
