Drop and give me 40.

This large retrospective longitudinal cohort study of over 1100 male firefighters in Indiana demonstrates that the number of push-ups a man is able to complete without stopping is inversely correlated to risk of cardiovascular event over the next 10 years. The clear winners were those able to bang out at least 40 (wowza), who had a 96% relative risk reduction compared to those unable to muster more than 10. | Yang, JAMA Netw Open 2019
