Just one, I'm not greedy. Upper body strength is what important now. Unfortunately, my wrists aren't the most flexible, so doing push ups, or anything that requires a full flexion of the wrist doesn't work very well for me. I think i need to get something that allows me to do a pushup without flexing the wrist. I think I've seen such things. Quote Link to comment

A small pair of dumbbells can be used as push-up handles, and can do double duty as... well... dumbbells.
