August Push Up Challenge.

[Big Mick]

I think it should be 20 rep squats next month, start at half body weight on day one and see where you end up at the end of the month.

I agree on the squats! But no rules on starting weight! Everyone is at different levels of their training and has different goals afterall!

You're an evil man and a glutton for punishment Mick!

Love my 20 rep squats, one of my favourites along with push ups....

30,20.

Found that I need to keep my elbow in very tight and rotate palms outwards to avoid aggravating my shoulder. Makes it a very much tricep dominant movement which sucks as I'm still looking for more chest activation but it is what it is

 

[Tregs]

2x25

 

[Grippy]

20 and 30 for me.

 

[Timeah]
