Thanks for the heads up re: needing to be able to do single arm pushups. I'll keep that in mind before I enrol in a PT course later in the year or in 2010 ;) All the best with your PT course, Leanne.

I don't know. Will have a go this afternoon though and let you know. Hopefully not from a hospital bed :) Never been a big fan of pushups, but for pure strength (and simplicity) you can't beat them. You can do them anywhere, without complicated equipment... with or without a towel, and even in a strappy blue dress! (You crazy thing you!) As a young bloke in the reserves my best was 50 at a time, but I had a lot of encouragement (you either did 50 or were given some sort of horrible and painful punishment... very good motivator was Corporal Bastard). Yet, for some reason I still had pipe cleaner arms! Now I can rip out 30, (max. 36) in a row. Twice a week instead of hitting the gym, I do my weight free workout. Pushups 100 (5 x 20), situps, squats, reverse pushups, and a walk / run. The goal. To get back to 50 pushups in a row, then 100... Have you noticed that noone likes pushups? And the fact that you can do 20 in a row is not to be sneezed at. WELL DONE !! What's your aim? How many in a row are you aiming for? And talking of being outside your comfort zone, I had your site open the other day reading this entry, and a mate popped in. The first thing he sees is me on the computer reading about pushups in a strappy blue dress. The look he gave me...

I am getting better at "normal" (on toes) push ups though. I started being able to do just one push up and 3 nights ago I did 1 set of 20 and then did 2 x 10. (I am still recovering from this now) Now after that cheeky question I am going to put you on the spot. :) What about you Greg, can you crank out one armed push ups? If so do you have any tips on how you progressed from normal ones to one armed? Hi Greg
