Help for Push Ups

[Damon]

Push Ups are great for the upper body but some people have trouble doing them. I came up with an alternative using one of my kitchen counters. Hope I'm able to help.

I know a position you can do push ups in... Over me! hahahaha

you can also do them against a wall, just stand about a foot or so back from the wall and bend elbows, it works well.

Keeping your heels on the floor during wall or desk push-ups give the calves a nice stretch, too.

I just have to say.. Damon could you make your photos any bigger?

Great point! There are sooo many different ways to do a pushup, you can do a lot of adaptations. I like doing them on my knuckles the best.

For an alternate method that works a slightly different set of muscles, grab a sturdy bench (weigh it down if you have to), sit on it, then slide off, supporting yourself on your hands/arms. Lower, raise, repeat =P

One word: agh.

If you subscribe to the no pain no gain theory, that's a perfect exercise.
