Jdelts Posts: 1,218 Joined: 2003/10/19	2003/12/29, 05:28 PM Taurie...not an ideal exercise for the back. It really doesn't work it at all. Gawdess, push-ups are excellent, but nothing beats good old iron pumping in the gym. With that, you can hit the chest at different angles. ============ Quoting from taurie: Does it also get the back? ============= -------------- May the lift be with you.

Jdelts Posts: 1,218 Joined: 2003/10/19	2003/12/30, 12:15 AM Yeah, I know what you're talkin' bout. Those are good for really hitting the chest nice and wide...gives a wider look. -------------- May the lift be with you.

agamble Posts: 1,029 Joined: 2003/09/22	2003/12/30, 03:10 PM Haven't done a pushup since I left the military. I did way to many then. Had something to do with my attitude although I beg to differ. Good riddance to 'em.

I maxed out my PT test in the army and could do them forever (75 of them was pretty damn good for a girl!). *sigh* I think my number of them had something to do with my fabulous attitude also! ;-) I need to get better at them now! -------------- ~~~~~~~ROXIE~~~~~~~ http://www.mycoffeegirl.com

They make you work harder because your body is is lowered more. ============ Quoting from pimple: heh... back on the subject... i got this things that are supposed to make push-ups more effective or something... they're like, this two upsidedown 'U' things (but only wider).. heh, i don't know how to describe/call them, but anyways, i was wondering if they work and how i can make the most out of them... thanks again... ============= -------------- It's not what we eat or drink occasionally, but what we consume on a daily basis that determines our ongoing level o health. formerfatguy.com Not sure of author
