When I train I do push-ups full range with my elbows almost all the way out, but when I take my PRT I tighten my lats hard and keep my shoulders shrugged so that my range of motion is almost cut in half. You're supposed to go down to 90 degrees and back up to lock-out. If I'm training then I try to get the best workout possible, but when I'm just going for numbers I use technique to my advantage. It's the same with sit-ups, when I'm getting a workout I keep my back completely straight and I try to look up which makes them harder, but when I'm tested I have to make my elbows touch my quads so I only come up as far as I have to.
On another note I'm still awake, I'm pretty much gonna pass out soon, but I got my paper done which made me happy. It probly reads like sh!t but I got it done. I was so tired today that I was falling asleep doing flutterkicks this morning, not just between sets but while actually doing the exercise. My girlfriend also called me and was asking me to help her with something but I don't remember what, I think it was something important, I think she might have needed a ride somewhere but I don't remember. I didn't even think the call was real until I looked at my recieved calls a few hours later and sure enough she had called. I thought it was a hallucination.
