Shankster Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 Day 4 in the books. I’m definitely going to have to alternate days between knuckle and palm push ups. Starting to get sore hands, and some callus will form if I continue the palm push ups.Maybe some gloves, or a bar... something.

I've got some work to do to catch up with you guys. ... This reminds me of a training film I narrated for a financial advisor in KC many years ago. It showed how investing $50 a month (if I remember the $ correctly) starting in your early 20's would make you a millionaire. I commented may people in their 20's just aren't ready to invest barely covering their bills with their paychecks and while his response was about investing, it applies to so many other walks of life "The best time to start investing is when you are young. The second best time is right now". So sounds like you are taking his advice and starting right now.

Tap In Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I’m a few days late but will join you in this revolution.When I was in the military I would set an alarm for every hour of the work day and make my entire team bust out at least 5 - 20 pushups depending on their individual strength level or physical limitations. Now that I work in the civilian world I can’t make anybody do it with me but I will follow that same principle and see if anyone wants to join me. It really goes a long way to building camaraderie. It also only takes a few seconds and really helps to break up the day and you may even start to enjoy them.Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy Shankster, cksurfdude and MattF 3 Quote WITB: 0811 Prototype Driver: (10.5 / s-flex) Sub 70 Pro Tour Fairway 3W (15 / s-flex) 0341 Prototype, 5W (18, s-flex) 0311, 4-PW, (+1/2" / +2 up) ProjX LZ 6.0 0311 wedges, 52, 56, 60 degree Impact No.3, Putter 35" Dexterity: Right-handed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shankster Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 Been doing this for a year now. 130 today , and last set of 20 I hold chest to ground and count 1-2-3. Than up and do another rep.Some noticed huge changes, not much for me. Now if you can do 100 pull ups a day you will notice something amazing or do a set of Himylaian runners between each set. Or set of box squats. I can do this at work in the hallway with work uniform on I’ll be adding pull ups this week. Some rowing.And some golf specific moves.Might try swimming too. I’m saying that my running was my “gateway” into more involved fitness.

So my workouts besides running all but stopped, and even then it was painful sometimes to run. Yesterday I got so PO’d that I said enough is enough and cranked out 100. My shoulder feels like a million bucks now. Or at least 900,000. Much better anyways. Suggest adding stretch band exercises to work the shoulder muscles in the opposing direction - ie. with pushups you're, of course, pushing away from your body so add something that's pulling from "away" towards your body.

palvord Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 So I have not been 100% every day this week as I’m just getting back into this, but I was able to do it 2 days this week. Right now I’m breaking it up into 10 sets of 10 reps. I’m hoping that by February, I can have it down to 7 sets of 15 reps.

Big money Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I do the 100 push ups plus on my off days when not going to the gym . When I go to the gym, I might do a quick set of 30 pushups getting the body loose. And no more than that, and add maybe a set of 20 dips and some ab rollers. The big thing about the 100 push up challenge is watching form.I can do a quick set of 50 pushups at any time. But my form is garbage, stomach is low and chest never touches the ground.Try doing them feeling your entire body is rigid and doesn’t dip down in the middle. And breathe in from your stomach feeling tightness in your abs.Do the push-up slow and let your chest touch the ground keeping head up.If you can do 30-40 of these in one sitting doing that . You are truly an athletic person.That is a proper push-up. A hundred of these a day with slow rhythm good form will get one a upper body transformation in a few months time .

Big money Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Been trying alternative push ups and really noticing results now. I will do push-ups one legged (with one leg in the air) . Tried different tempos (slow - fast - and super slow ) . Combining over a 100 each time I go to the gym . And lifting weights for form not heavy weight is really working. My before photos from the fall to where I am now are real stunning. But more importantly, my endurance is way up.Ive been spending an 1.5 hrs to 2 hrs without pain .
