Scrolling aimlessly through YouTube videos one afternoon in search of some exercise inspiration, I stumbled across “Mike Tyson push-ups.” I didn’t even know Mike Tyson had a push-up, but here we are, and here I am, writing about them and feeling like I should have known about this sooner. Intrigued, I decided to give the exercise a go.
I didn’t commit to making it a fitness challenge or performing a set number of reps each day — I just wanted to see how many reps I could achieve and why this move was “a thing.” Revved and ready to go, I rolled out one of the best yoga mats (Lulululemon Take Form, if you’re looking for a new one) and did a quick upper-body warm-up to get my shoulders, arms and chest ready.
