Anyone else have this problem with push ups?
(lemmygrad.ml)
A place where comrades can
(1) discuss how best to optimize their physical health and develop “Iron Proletarian Discipline” in a healthy and holistic manner. Including but not limited to weight training, stretching, cardiovascular exercise, meditation, nutrition, sleep, and daily routines with an eye towards cultivating the best habits possible,
(2) share motivational and educational writings or videos; bonus points if the perspective is that of a Communist thinker such as Mao or Fidel Castro, and
(3) discuss the relationship between mental health and exercise.
Rule:
Approach every conversation in good faith.
There are different push up variations, try harder variations so you dont have to do 30 reps to reach failure. Push ups are for triceps and chest specifically so right now you are only developing these muscles, try different variations so you can get a better rounded routine.
Reaching failure (arms giving out in this case) is precisely what you want for muscle growth, the trick is reaching it on a moderate amount of reps (i.e. 8-12) for more optimal growth + time efficiency, thats why you have to try a harder variation or increase weight.
Thank you!
