Oct 11 2007Push-up Counter Is Far Too Futuristic For Me
Gotta love Japan. They make every product ever. Take this marvel of modern technology -- the push-up counter ($15). Someone must have traveled far into the distant future to snag this idea. It's a button you push with your chin every time you do a push-up. I don't understand the technology behind this, but somehow your total is displayed on an ultra high-res LCD counter that, get this, goes up to 999! Holy shit! And if you're anything like me the display will always read "1" -- for collapsing on the button and never being able to get up.

We become so lazy so we can't count how many push-up we made?
Do we really need a push-up counter?
I don't think so.

I especially like how the diagram shows you which way is up and which way is down.

i definitely need this. I do push ups at such a block rocking speed, there's no other way to count them. Unless of course, you slow down the speed of light.
BOOM!

I like the fact that it uses an LED display rather than an LCD, this makes it much more old skool.... Oh whats that? You say it's an LCD display? Well you clearly haven't got eyes my good friend.... now where's my smoking jacket.
