I'll try this for a month... I'm very curious to get ripped on the chest! -------------- I need to Grow! So, be Psycho!

Also you can use push-bars, takes the strain off your wrist too. Also do them using your fist. Have a small kid sit on your back for added resistance. Do them slow, make sure you stretch before and and after. The overhead arm pull is the best stretch. Be creative-no limits. ============ Quoting from esco: hey i do 72 pushups a night for 7 days, then take 7 days off, so 1 week pushups at night, the next none, next 7 days, etc... i do 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 yea i do 1 pushup at the end. will this give me a nicely defined chest, and shoulders and whatever else a pushup does? i know it can't do anything but good but what do you think? ============= -------------- "Get everthing you want--just make a little change now"

Thanx for advices guys! ============ Quoting from SRZrasoul: I dont think simply pushups will get you a ripped chest...they will give you string pecs, but not ripped ============= -------------- I need to Grow!

That got me in shape and made me much stronger, but not so much ripped. Still, push ups are something noone should go without. I did them every other day, and tried to do at least 1-2 more than the last time, 2 sets. -------------- My only Limitation is your Imagination
