Swearing while doing push-ups increases the amount of push-ups you can do by 15%.

It also helps when assembling Ikea furniture.

I wonder if academic performance would improve by a similar amount if students were allowed to swear in class? 🤔

Swearing at the thought of push ups reduces the amount I do by 100%. I think. Maths isn't my strong suit...

I can’t do one.

15% of 0 is 0. So I guess adding 0 to the regular 0 capacity means the statement remains true. :)

Says I, who likewise struggle with a single one.

i wasn’t questioning the statement. i was just sad. lol.

I'm with you here mate, it's nice to know there's others in the 0 +15% club 😆

Thanks. Now I'm not allowed back in the gym. ☹️

I find this effect to be generalizable

Exactly why I just swore in my reply to your post about the rescheduled episode tonight; in the hope of 15% more chance you’ll respond! 😉

Dunno how you'd prove this, cause I'll definitely be swearing if I'm doing pushups.

1.15 pushups, here I come

Beat me to it
