Kate.... well i prefer to do them [pretty much as in vid] with feet slightly wider than shoulder width to aid ballance, one hand placed on bum & supporting hand slightly off to the side, if feet are closer & hand more under chest, it makes it that much harder.

Now I'm up to three sets of ten. I think the one arm push-up is the next challenge! Btw, those Barbarian guys are crazy! A month ago I found out I couldn't do a clap push-up.

I've been passing the word around and am an avid reader of your articles. I am in Afghanistan supporting a remote base with poor gym equipment (NATO base, not US) and your articles have been great for me. Been using bodyweight exercises for about three months now and getting ready for my leave in a month using your workout suggestions and diet. I am 5'10" and was 175- don't know what it is now because we have no scale but I went down two notches in my belt which I now need to keep my pants up. The eating right part is tough because there isn't a big selection, but at 47 I look better than half of the soldiers on this base that are half my age. Keep up the great work!

I have to say I admire your plan to be one of the few people in the gym who can do one-arm push-ups. Those are exactly the kind of unique goals that I think make a real difference in your attitude toward your workout. Really interesting choice of goals!

I push 3 on each side but with feet spaced closer, also performed very slowly to watch form. With feet spaced out, twisting shoulders or legs or lifting one leg it becomes a lot easier. Try this to built up strength, halfway down the one arm pushup hold contraction for 10 secs then explode back up. Same with Pistol Squats, halfway down (thigh parallel to floor) hold for 10 sec then explode back up. Love the site Rusty, keep up the good work bro ps. the yoga guy should perform his routine holding each exercise for 30 secs. That's how I always do my yoga workout. 20 reps?

5 or 10 would be a better number lad ;)

Is there another option rather than the push up? I do yoga, but I need to fast track my strength building routine. I believe yoga to be fantastic for teaching the fundamentals of body movement and your limits, however I need to build up my muscle, particularly my legs and arms. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

We regularly do these during our body weight workouts at Fear Systems. It takes a while to get to the point of being able to do them, that is for sure! Interesting post! I have several posts on push up board workouts on my blog if anyone is interested. Don't think any of them feature the one arm assisted though. I'll have to work on that!
