EDIT: actually upon further examination it looks more like a one-finger no legged reverse push-up. Form is suspect though. Definitely not a chiefly core movement.

When you pushup to absolute failure without resorting to the "Front Leaning Rest/Plank," which fails first: tris/front delts/pecs, or core?
If you are trying to max the rep counts of pushups, you're going to go fast and the arms/chest will go first. If you are trying to max the number of pushups done in a time span (military PRT), that flips things around.
True on both counts.

Arrgh. Top, second from the right. And people say that Salma Hayek's got a manjaw? That chick's got a Karloffjaw. Criminy. I'm not seeing many cuties in that montage, sorry.
GDG!
The flesh is weak, and the smell of pussy is strong like a muthafucka.
"I enjoy wearing 'Under Armor' shirts....nice and tight. I was standing in line at the grocery store and a gentleman asked, "My goodness...you have a grey moustache....and you are ripped. How old are you?" I said, "I'm 54."
He said, "Wow! You are in great shape for your age....so, what are you taking?"
I immediately had to laugh and I said, "CrossFit" "

Let's get this baby to a 1,000 posts, c'mon sucka's. Hey, XFit gang, in case you didn't know, I got a BIG GREEN EGG for Father's Day! You can grill/smoke all kinds of cool stuff in it and while it's cooking, do a 21-15-9 set of thrusters with it at the same time! The added benefit is sometimes glowing hot coals tumble out of it onto your body adding new meaning to "feel the burn!"
I hear the BIG GREEN EGG can make me pukey. Confirm or deny.

Affirmative, on the pukey. And, just like Elvis would do...top it all off with a handful of blueberry flavored quaaludes and a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich and it's, "thank you very much little mama!"
