Trewest Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 I am soooo tempting a one arm pushup when I get home now.... JUST to try and get a second number up there.

AthenaMM Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Ugh! Well my triceps are still super sore from doing a bunch of push-up work on Monday BEFORE the mini was posted, but I finally attempted some wall push-ups. Not great and I know I could have done a lot more normally, but it's a data point! And I'm assuming that anything done before the mini doesn't count, right? I managed one meager floor push-up during my work on Monday and if my arms don't start feeling better soon, there is no way I can repeat that by Sunday. 1 Battle Log Challenges: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 Fitbit, Epic Quest Character Link to comment
Spear Warrior Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Last year I tried to do a one armed push up. That proved to be the final straw on that broke the camel's back. Or my shoulder, in this case. I had felt some trouble brewing, and didn't do anything about it. That push-up felt like a knife through my shoulder. I rested from April to august (while starting some light rehabilitating exercises in July). From September I stepped up my exercises and worked through November. I tried pushing exercises again in November/December, with some regular and diamond push-ups and a tiny bit of bench press. Today I tried the one armed again. I tested one while at work (teaching PE class), with my left arm. At home I did one of my dip sets, before taking the stance for a right (my dominant arm) one armed push up. I felt a tiny bit of pain in my right shoulder. I changed sides, and cranked out five on my left. Then I thought: "You have trained both arms equally these last nine months. You are not that much weaker in the right shoulder." Then I tried properly on the right and did four and a half. I am stronger than I was when I got injured. And damn proud. 13 Level 4 Human Assassin/Monk Str 11 | Dex 10 | Sta 2 | Con 6 | Wis 8 | Cha 4Intro - Challenges: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 Link to comment
Trewest Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 question about one armed push up form. For it to count do your feet have to be together or can they be shoulder width apart for balance?

Yeah I thought about that too-- I'm trying to double up on days to give myself a rest day in between. I've been doing a hard set first (wooo 5 diamonds), then maxing out the easier one in a second set. I'm STILL sore today from yesterday's diamonds / tables, so we'll see how it goes tomorrow with typewriters / knees. 1 Sheik. Level 2. Human.
