iatetheyeti Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 It's difficult enough for me to just hold at the top of the position, so I wasn't comfortable trying a full reverse grip push up. Never mind ten of them! So that's a big nope for today, unfortunately. 1 Quote "The old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Otherwise you end up bending your wrists far more than is comfortable... Quote Current Big Fat Hairy Goals: Hip to Waist Ratio down to 88%.

Not really surprised, I've got ongoing wrist issues that can make things tricky from time to time, especially if it's a movement this far outside what I usually do. 1 Quote "The old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.
