True...Long arms will make it more difficult simply due to physics, however the main thing that helps is a lower body weight and healthy shoulder mobility. Unfortunately these are both attributed in a large part to youth. I used to do 100 in 60 sec as a bet just for fun, (before I suffered an AC separation) but I really don't see the benefit of excessive reps. If your over 40 you need to lift heavy weights a few times per week to maintain muscle mass and keep testosterone levels from dropping. (at least slow the rate at which the levels drop) Excessive muscle or super ripped abbs as a primary goal really wont yield much benefit, other than looking cool.
