Anyway, I got out the "Perfect pushup" thingies and tried them out. They are going to work very well for me. I'm going to try to go at my own pace and hope that it is well ahead of what the challenge requires. I plan on getting a calendar to track what I actually do and simply check off that it is as much as the challenge requires each day. 2 sets of 5 this morning to try out the "Perfect Pushup" handles.

Go for the nose, not the chest. To actually be effective anything past 45 degress and done slowly will work pretty well. Its really funny (ok cruel) to watch young guys (and I mean teens) try them for the first time after watching and old fahrt do them....FACE PLANT!

It is an incredible shoulder excercise and will involve the triceps some too! Also, people at the gym are going to look! _________________________ Run like the wind, but never forget gravity.

Matt_B Diamond Poster Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 1,651 A CU, Where Regs Don't Apply	Well, I work out at work, and would prefer none of them be looking, but that should be find since most of them are still sleeping when I'm in here. I've had to take it easy recently, I messed up my collar bone and have had it put back into the proper position a few times now, so I've been hesitant to do too much, but I'm ready to test the waters a bit too. I have tried them before, but the last time I did, I had a decent amount more weight on me, so it should certainly be easier now! _________________________ Someone's about to get horned!

Tigg Power Poster Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 6,389 Looking for My Happy Place....	Originally Posted By: kitten ARE YOU READY FOR SOME PUSH-UPS?!?!?! We start on Sunday! That will be week 1, day 1. I'll be giving weeks and days for those of you who want to modify the challenge and do it by weeks instead. That is how I'm going to be doing my plank challenge - first week, start with XX seconds. Second week, add XX more seconds, etc. I highly recommend taking before pictures. No one has to see them. It will be great to track progress. Remember, this is a judgement-free zone. Post your successes and ask for encouragement. Weeeeeeee Can Doooooooo Iiiiiiiiittttt!!! So excited! . Bring on the New Year!!! _________________________ What would you do if you knew you could not fail? ~ Dr. R Schuller My opinion only.
