    You guys have helped me immensely. Your videos on the McKenzie exercises helped me heal a herniated disc, your bands are helping me to regain strength, and your videos with variations on standard exercises are helping me to make huge changes in my body and lifestyle.

    Recurring wrist issues prevent standard push-ups. My old knees keep me off the floor. 😉 So, I stick with the push off from the walls. Works decently, better than doing nothing. 🤷‍♀️

    I'd used to do similar exercises a few months ago and then one day out of the blue I succeeded to do one. Was so happy and started telling my closest friends. Now I can do 8-14. Tbh I do pushups like once a week but if I were to do them more often I'd be able to do 20+ in 2 months

    Number five (shoulder blade push-ups) was a breakthrough for me! It's an incredibly useful exercise and I've never seen it anywhere else. As an overweight (but already losing weight) individual, I didn't think I would get to the full push-up level in two months. Thanks for the help!

    It only takes persistence. I started out at -0-.!
    I now do 15 , 2 sets each after 3 months. They are the “old man”push-ups for those guys over 75 (me!) this push up is the kneeling variant w/ good form. The key is to try every day, w/o fail! It will work, just keep at it. I started a general workout hitting all areas w/ a band workout ( your bands!) ten months ago. Keep up your good work, I suspect you know how effective you are, by now!

    using stairs is a better option

    is better than knee push-ups (using a slight

    Thanks to you guys I’ve been doing the wall push-ups everyday everywhere I go. I’m doing 30 in a row now. Sometimes I place my palms higher or lower to work different parts of my muscles. I think you had said it’s weight bearing and good for osteopenia. So I’ve been doing them. My arms feel taught after. Thanks so much! ~💪🏼❤️😊

    I am 300 lbs. I tore my shoulder, arm, and back/SI joint/hip a year ago when thrown from a offroad machine. . Even doing girl push ups I can only do 10 to 12 and my wrist feel like they are going to snap. Pain in shoulder between rotary cuff. Due to the sharp pain I started to use 2 20lb dumbells and lay on a medical table and do chest presses. I do 3 x 15 then I repeat a second 3 x 15 at the end of my workout. The first set of 3 I feel the rotary cuff working hard at count 18 of 35, and the second set of 3 x 15 I start to feel it after just doing 10. Every other day. I also do chair curls. 10 lbs per arm 3 x 10 ct. I also do about 6 pulley machine resistance weighted exercises for my shoulder, arms, back, I also do box lifting PT exercises ground to waist, waist to shoulder, shoulder to above head, and carry, and 150 lb sled 50 ft. I'm doing a 4 hr a day Occupational heavy lifting PT rehab. 2 months timeframe. Starting weight 327 lbs. I have lost 27 lbs, need to lose 80 lbs more and get down to 220 lbs, on Keto diet.
