I'm up early Mick ;) lol

Can someone explain to me what a month of push ups will do for us?

Arms? Back? Chest? Are we hoping to see muscle growth or more definition etc?

See...the calf challenge I got, because so many of us had shit calves or wanted to see improvement in this region and it definitely worked for muscle growth and definition for me....but I wonder about this push up business.

Those of you who voted for it and wanted it, what are you hoping to achieve from this month?

Can you share?

I'm hoping to be able to do larger sets by the end of the month and increase my general muscle endurance a little, strengthen my core a bit and maybe build my triceps a little since i don't do much else for them.
 
Just read this. It works. :)

Tip #5: Want to immediately improve your push-ups? Try imagining you are squeezing a piece of paper under each armpit while performing them. This incredibly simple tip will improve tension, create more stability in the shoulder and tighten the upper back and lats.

I did not vote for it, but expect more core strength and upper body strength and endurance, depending on where you are at you might see some definition in your upper body muscles, but that might take more than a month, for women you might notice your breasts sitting a bit higher and being a bit firmer, depending on where they naturally sit, and depending on size I guess, but should make some difference.

My wife used to do martial arts and used to do lots of push ups when we first started going out and it made for impressive assets not requiring much support if you know what I mean:D

She is about to get back into doing some training and hopefully push ups will be part of that:rolleyes:

I believe push ups are very important for women and I would highly recommend having them as a regular exercise.

This could be something that can become routine, a quick 50-100 push ups a day or very other day, does not take long and results should show:)

I am thinking that I will start adding push ups soon, or doing it twice a day, but will see how I go.

Poor dear, now have a spoon of cement and harden the fuck up and do your push ups :D

Repped for a very informative post mwahahaha

And also repped, in part, for your wife's soon-to-be full body assault ;)
