Study: showed those who can do >40 vs those <10 were 96% less likely to have CVD
after 10 years.
Those who were 11> were also better off than those <10. But not as good as those >40. More push-ups per minute were better off.
Hmmm.
It was the most predictive measurement they took---better than the treadmill test.
I'm pretty sure I could do 40 in a minute. Now I really want to try.

This is an interesting video explaining how push-ups can predict heart disease:

This is why the USAF fitness test has a push-up component.

So according to that guy, if I do 40 in a minute I'll have virtually no chance

They qualify but he needed more depth to get more GAINS.
