puzzler Jan 2018 12:25pm, 27 Jan 2018 727 posts	0 puzzler Just noticed this thread. I’ve been doing 3x10 of the knee press ups as part of my core sessions. No idea how many so far this year. Maybe 150 ish. I’m trying to shift across to full press ups but can only manage at most 10 before I’m lying exhausted on floor. I’ll start counting now. I’ve been experimenting with different hand positions (on the knee ones) and it does make quite a difference to where you feel the muscles working. No idea what is the ‘right’ way.

I used to have decent upper body strength but then I switched from doing triathlons to pure running ...
