The Push Up Challenge thread

I can only do 7 but I do have a trigger point ball up from retail work.
( from pulling totes of levis off dollies and they are 150lbs or felt like it)

I am scrawny in the shoulders and .....

Push ups are hard. I wish I could do them.

You guys are doing great!

Has anyone ever seen those pull up bars you can buy to put on your door frame? I wonder if those would be less damaging than a push up?

I was thinking the same thing. I was thinking the only push up I have is in my drawer.

I do 10 pushups, 10 squats, and 30 reps crunches (straight/alternating/straight) every morning with my morning stretches. It only takes 10-15 minutes in my morning schedule (in between putting on my underwear and putting on my pants) to tell my body "I expect you to be able to do stuff."

My left shoulder is not up to any endurance challenges, unfortunately. Mentally, I could force it to happen, but physically I would be minus one good shoulder for a few months.

I've got one slightly used for sale. It was far worse than a push for my arm.
