Read around this forum a bit, loads of posts on this. Basically a lot of press-ups, sit-ups and pull-ups plus some other bodyweight exercises and gym work. Don't neglect your CV just because it's your strong point either.

You could try punctuating your posts too, it's really hard to read your post.

Just a wee point.

I became obcessed with pressups at one point(always ended up doing them on a night out, christ knows why).

http://www.netfit.co.uk has 2 pressups routines and some top advice for general fitness.

I found using a bag of potatoes in a normal school type bag brilliant for pressups thou. Be sure to secure the bad properly and pad it so the potatoes dont 'run' in the bag or fall out onto the living room floor :oops:

EDIT: By partials he may mean go half way up and hold it for a couple of second then fully straightening your arms and returning the the ground. He may also mean after becoming tired with full body press ups(legs extended) dropping to your knees and pushing out a few more.
