Thank you for sharing this post!

Do you have any concerns that you're only doing push movements? My physiotherapist told me that it's quite easy to build imbalanced muscles by excessively doing only push ups, without incorporating "pull" movements in my exercises too. It seems like you would've come across this in your research but don't think it's an issue seeing as you seem very healthy and happy with your current shape?

Sorry for slow response. At this point I'm doing much more than push movements. The pushups remain (I did 527 on Saturday for instance) however I'm also doing bootcamp-style track workouts, occasionally lifting weights, running hard, and eating very clean. And yes I am beyond happy with current fitness level and shape however new goals will be set for 2026. :-)
