Pushups never get easier per se, but it's easier than you think to add in extra reps. 5 this week, next week you'll be up to 8-10. It's such an achievement to see those numbers go up! ------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Thanks . I hope so. I have a plan. I think pull ups are easier for guys too. It's that upper body strength!!

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 That's a really good plan. I've read that this is a good way to go. It'll get you there faster than knee push ups. I can do them on my knees forever, and it doesn't get me closer to doing them on my toes. I think it's because you don't improve your core to the same degree.

I'm modifyinig the ones in CLX by having my smith machine bar a few feet off of the ground and doing them with my upper body elevated - like doing them on stairs, kind of. I think I get more out of them that way than with kneelies - plus I hate kneeling. I have no grand goals about them, but I guess I wouldn't mind being able to do the ones in my videos on my toes, heh. You'll get there - well before 50, I bet!

I don't want to hurt my shoulder again, so I think I'll take a similar conservative approach.I also just ordered the door anchor for resistance bands so I can do pull-downs. I'm extremely far away from doing one pull up, but I want to add some pull downs to my routines. I had been shopping around for a door gym, but this was cheaper and more appropriate to my level.Thanks again for the information!OK, time for Lean Circuit 2. Later gators!

Sometimes, I had to do a "day" even more times than that - to give you an idea it took me from January to June to get to Week 4. Then, I just decided to take the summer "off" from the progression. You really need to just move on when you feel ready. Here is a link to the 100 Push Up Challenge: http://hundredpushups.com/ I do agree about the core - push-ups really are a total body exercise and everything - is involved, I have even felt it in my thighs! But, they are efficient, they hit a lot of body parts in a short amount of time! Take care, Donna From: A.
