Push-Ups... p-p-push it real good!!

One of my favorites and most effective, the basic push-up. If you're not able to get in the gym and lift the weights, push-ups are all you truly need for chest work. Now, the problem with doing push ups is that people occasionally do it wrong. When you're going down, you don't sink your hips down (I'll try to get some footage for examples.) You want your body to be straight as a board ______ when going down. Your hands have to be underneath your shoulders for the standard military push-up. I couldn't do one push-up in the beginning. Fast-forward to two years later. I can do up to 50 at one time (awesome for a former fatty). Sometimes I'll do 10 sets of 10, 4 sets of 25, 2 sets of 50 (sometimes 60 if I'm really feeling it). After a good set, my chest is sooooo pumped and I love it. Nowadays, I can do the pec dance lol. Just like running, variety is key for push-ups. There's the clap push-ups which are pretty intense (ouch)! Then there's the clap push-ups while taking flight (-___-). Really really hurts but one of the best to do. One-arm balance push-ups, diamond push-ups, you name it I've done it at least twice. It's one of the best exercises to do and I'll try to get some videos up of me doing some of these things.
