on 2/17/2009 by davegleason | filed in: Exercise

Another question by a fellow fitster prompted this one.  There are sooooo many variations of push ups.  List your FAVORITE only and lets try to not duplicate.

Let's see how big we can make this list.

I'll start:

Alternating Medicine Ball Push ups.

I like Mountain Climbers, and Spiderman pushups they take regular pushups to the next level and work the abs also.

When trying to get a good pump, I do a "rocker pushup" - named it myself. I go down until chest is about an inch off the ground and then shift weight to one arm/side then back to the other until you get pretty tired. Once you think you can't go back and forth anymore you still have to push yourself back up.

Sometimes I like to do a quick warm-up of:

- 25 diamonds (hands together in the shape of a diamond elbows bend towards sides)
- 25 triceps (hands directly under shoulders, elbows bend straight back)
- 25 chest (hands out to the sides, elbows directly over wrists)

On other occasions, I like to do pushups with dumbells and do a row right, row left, then pushup (feet wide).
