<p>I weigh 180, lift weights nearly every day and max the pushups portion on the PRT (101). So, it is possible to lift weights (which is something I thoroughly enjoy doing) and still be in the physical shape necessary to a large number of pushups. The key is balancing the two. When you’re on an off day for lifting, do a good push up workout.</p>
<p>As for scubaguy17 and midshipman2012…neither of you are at USNA yet. I would heed your own advice about being cocky and arrogant, you, like powerhawk, have no idea what you’re in store for, whether you went to NASS or not.</p>
