Calisthenifags, I need your help.How to avoid pain in the wrists for doing push-ups? Sometimes there is a pain in the wrist/base of the palm area and it's starting to bother me.
>>75464293try using dumbbells on the ground. i had some wrist pain a while back and used that type of grip grabbing the handles. its worth a try
>>75464315tyAny stretches or warm ups to help with it too?
>>75464334idk you could do some wall push ups to warm up a bit?
>>75464293My shoulder hurt when I do push up (I can only do 3 in a row before I die)
>>75464293Try a narrower hand placement.

>>75464293I dont know but pushup hurt my shoulder. That's why i only do dips now which is superior
>>75464293>>75464315yeah paraletts will work, neutral grip is awesome, now u can fuck ur shoulders without fucking ur wrists! awesome! but if u wish to grow pecs u need to isolate pectoralis major be it clavicular or sternal head with straight muscle fibers between origin and attachment points (this NEVER happens in benchlike motions - pec is always wrapped around rib-cage in pushup), isolate it and keep the tension on muscle belly for tens of seconds, my upper pecs and just upper pecs are warm and tender from yesterday abuse (still dialing it up - stood leaned on clavicular head of pectoralis major a litttle too long lol) yes thank u my shoulders have NEVER been better :D >>75464551>>75444226>clavicular head of pectoralis major:>stand next to wall and brace elbow of not working arm on it at approximately shoulder height>press with elbow of other, working arm into palm of braced arm>that's it, keep shoulder of working arm protracted and fully externally rotated
>>75464787>That's why i only do dips now which is superioru "do dips" now because u fucked ur shoulder in pushup plane, now u're looking for host of different fuckups in shoulder elbow and sternal pec tendon in different plane i have found pecs:>>75464792my sternal head isolation might be called modified unilateral dip, full internal shoulder rotation in my version protects the shoulder, that fact that it's an isometric hold is also protecting shoulder, and middle of pec gets the stimulus u will not get with anything conventional i am also glad to announce that i have improved it since i typed it out :D >>75444226>sternal head of pectoralis major:>sit down and spread your thighs, reach inbetween your legs to the thing u're sitting on, fully internally rotate shoulder (elbow as foreward as it goes) press down and behind u with slightly bent elbow as if u tried to get up without using legsso the modification i made is leaning torso on other unused arm, this allows pectoralis major sternal head to pull into the middle of chest, to get the berserk like teeth there>and u just hang on isolated sternal head of pectoralis major in this isometric hold it's that simple
More pushups until morale improves
>>75464851>More pushups until morale improvesit's hard to get over psychologically but i haven't done pushup seriosly in months and i feel ok about it, i feel even better about it having healthy and strong as fuck shoulders, and even better having full plates for pecs instead of droopy bench tits with void in the middle and another void under clavicle >>75464820>>75464792
Do not listen to roided fags who say stretches are bad for you. Picrel is all you need.
do them on your fists you fool
>>75464293There's a cali therad already: >>75461016

>>75465993I get this too. My face gets red as a tomato as well
