And last but certainly not least, in the Women's division (45 lbs), there was a tie between Nishany Sothilingam and Erin Simpson, with both getting in 110 reps! Good hustle everybody!

Something a little heavier for your Monday... JSSM study (2014): suspension pushups increase trap, tricep, abdominal activation, and coordination (obviously). Delt and pec group also active, but better isolated with stability. Try it! Maybe follow a PR overhead press set with isolated chest work and this to round out your upper body essentials.
