SymphonicDan Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 For some reason, I had to try again today for a one-hand pushup. I was thinking, "Didn't they say partial reps count? Surely I can do half of one!" NOPE. I don't know why I cannot convince myself that they are really just that hard. And now SymphonicDan has mentioned doing them straddled, so I have to go try that. NOPE! Slightly better though, I was able to bend my elbow a bit before falling, and with legs together I can only hold the top position at full lockout. Still NOPE. Possible variations underneath straddled 1-armed push-ups are:wall one-armed push-upstable one-armed push-upsknee one-armed push-upsFurthermore you can combine these to make other variations, like straddled table one-armed push-ups. My fault for not explaining this before, but the reason I say the formula is confidential isn't because it's impossible to figure out - it's because the group at large (minus a few) probably won't spend time puzzling over it and if it's unknown, people will hopefully give their best effort without trying to game the system for best possible scoring. We are collecting data and I'm trying to control the variables. So next week the formula will now definitely change. If you figure it out (it's not THAT hard) just keep it to yourself and do your best, okay? I may also be guilty of looking at the formula and thinking about strategy I believe it is possible to hide the formula from the spreadsheet using these instructions, so you might choose to try that. 1 Level 25 Cyborg Assassin [ STR 36.75 | DEX 26.00 | STA 28.00 | CON 31.25 | WIS 29.25 | CHA 24.50 ] current 5-week challenge: March 2020 external websites with my resources for... fitness & breathwork | mental math & mind sports | motivation & productivity Link to comment

I do so many push-ups off my work bathroom counter on the regular! when I am feeling especially saucy and scofflawish I will do them in the office kitchen on the counter while waiting for lunch to reheat. So apparently I can do more table push-ups than wall push-ups.... Shouldn't that be harder?I am definitely not that knowledgeable in the world of MUSCLES but isn't there a difference between groups used? table is more triceps and back, it sure feels like to me, and wall is a lot of pecs? <-- all very empirical and based entirely on ME and the way my torso feels right now after yesterday being wall and table pushup day.

dancezwithkittehz Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 How interesting! I wonder if I will also be able to do more table push up than wall. We shall seeeee! For me the wall push ups just felt awkward, like I can't get full depth because there is a wall in my face. Definitely felt it way more in my arms and like it wasn't even touching anywhere further into my body, whereas with a full push up I can feel it into abs and chest etc? I have done table push ups in a while so I shall observe when I do those tonight where I am feeling it!!! 2 Assassin extraordinaire!!

tourennatrix Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought that! If you've got an exercise ball, try holding that against the wall (at chest height) and do a wall push up off of that. Keep your shoulder blades engaged (pulled together and down). While I find regular wall push ups to be not worth my time, these things are much more fun. Shoulder stability (moreso if your hands are further apart on the ball), wider range of motion, and even some ab work if you're really engaged 3 Link to comment

dancezwithkittehz Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 As I suspected, table push ups were actually easier for me because they were working more muscles at once vs all the tricep all the time! I think I could maybe get my reps on it even higher buuut for the sake of experimentation I won't repeat! Hahaha I did these this morning and definitely thought the same thing - OHAI WALL I have the same problem. I had a few times where it was, nose, meet wall. I did table push-ups this morning. My body was like, hmmmm nope! Here's 10. Better luck next time, try again later. Right?! I actually intentionally did nose to wall as that was the deepest I could go. For push ups I usually drop to where my chest touches the ground so nose to wall was my closest equivalent I could go for hahahahahahaha. 1 Assassin extraordinaire!!

Darth Yoga Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 For me the wall push ups just felt awkward, like I can't get full depth because there is a wall in my face. Yeah, I do them in a narrow-ish doorway so I can get a decent range of motion. It puts the grip a little wide, but at least I'm not bumping into the wall. 1 Joshua - Yoga Ninja Weasel #22 Weasel does 500 Pullups Link to comment
