It's insane that you have to worry about engagement dropping for even a week to keep being relevant on social media. Hopefully you can enjoy your vacation together without worrying too much! We will be watching and commenting the heck out of this series because it is an amazing resource 😉

These are some BEAUTIFUL push-ups!! I just recently discovered that I could actually do a floor push-up (and not with as bad form as I thought! Highly recommend filming oneself every once in a while to know both the worst and the best news!) after doing incline ones only for a while, and it's just the best feeling.

I've wondered for a while why the recommendation is to get the hands closer to the body and the arms angled more like 45° or so instead of 90. Years ago, I got into push-ups at the same time that I got into weight training, so it was just natural for me to treat it as a variation of the bench press, and I never had elbow or shoulder problems while doing it that way.
@JustinaErcole 2 ай бұрын
I can’t remember if I said it in the video so I’ll say it here too! But it’s for two reasons: 1) it’s considered a little safer on the shoulder (GH) joint and 2) it actually mimics the pattern of your pec fibers (more diagonal) than going straight out to 90 degrees 😊

Both my right shoulder AND my right wrist (though it's not exactly the wrist...it's something else weird like a tendon or part of the palm) have been dodgy for a while. So when I'd do pushups I'd get this weird sense of anxiety and dread in my chest and stomach that would interfere with my ability to do them, even when I put myself in the most non-injurious, advantageous position possible. It's only with gradually rehabbing my shoulder and wrist/palm that I feel like I'm connecting my brain and body better, in such a way that they don't make my stomach twist in dread as much. Even though they're still hard :P
