Push ups are one of the best bodyweight exercises; they can be performed anywhere (so it’s no biggie if you can’t get to the gym) and they work a great mixture of upper body muscles, plus your abdominals. However, they’re also one of the hardest bodyweight moves to master which, for many, can be really frustrating.
They used to be a staple in my upper body warm ups, purely because I just wanted to be good at them and I quite liked doing them. But, it was only a few weeks ago, when I caught a glimpse of my non-toned triceps in the gym mirror, that I realised I’d completely abandoned my push ups altogether (my partner encountered a big moaning session afterwards). So, I decided to challenge myself; could I do 100 push ups a day (could I even do one after all this time) and would it help reawaken my tired triceps? Read on to find out.
