Here’s my uncanny artistic ability. With such talent and the ability to do impressive numbers of one arm pushups one wouldn’t be surprised to find me on the cover of Time at some point. Ehhhem, so back to our rams…
Also, one more thing. For some people it’s much easier to use fists instead of palms when doing push-ups so if your wrists feel uncomfortable you should definitly make great improvement with this technique.
I know a 5-year-old boy who can pump out 5 or 6 one-armed push-ups no problem…I just think this needs to be stated for some reason.
Child abuse is a tough thing.
I’ve found that a very wide foot stance helps quite a lot.
It definitely does. In fact I bet if one could do the split, learning 1-arm pushups would be incredibly easy.
Zulu,
instead of putting your hand behind the back, just cross it in fron of you and hold on to your side. it will help you balance better. also, if you need to, start on your knees and build up from there…
