ITGrýla 🇮🇸 Jan 2021 4:07pm, 1 Jan 2021 11,445 posts	0 ITGrýla 🇮🇸 Sets of 5 for me. I can always do 5 well. Form over volume, eh folks?
chunkywizard Jan 2021 4:16pm, 1 Jan 2021 11,026 posts	0 chunkywizard Just done my 3rd set and my arms ache way more than usual. I think that’s because I am being strict on form, also I am doing then with 5 pull-ups between each 10(in sets of 5) which is giving my arms a real work out. 150 down, 50 to go (with 75 pull-ups done, 25 to go)
Cats Whiskers Jan 2021 4:52pm, 1 Jan 2021 717 posts	0 Cats Whiskers Hi. I’d like to give this a go too but will have to start with my knees down as I can control the descent when balanced on my toes but can’t even begin to push myself back up again at the moment. Hoping it won’t take too long to progress though if I do these regularly.
chunkywizard Jan 2021 4:54pm, 1 Jan 2021 11,028 posts	0 chunkywizard I think people are saying, against the wall, or on the stairs are better than on the knees S you will get used to the form needed. Might be worth a try

Cats Whiskers Jan 2021 5:03pm, 1 Jan 2021 718 posts	0 Cats Whiskers Ah, thanks for that. I missed that when I looked back. I guess that’s to keep the body and legs in a straight line?
Dave A Jan 2021 5:09pm, 1 Jan 2021 22,751 posts	0 Dave A Doing them against wall, stairs etc, means you can practice good form for a full press-up, even if you can’t do a full press up.
GimmeMedals Jan 2021 5:10pm, 1 Jan 2021 19,231 posts	0 GimmeMedals I think so, CatsW. Getting gradually lower as arms get stronger makes sense, with the rest of your body getting familiar with the correct position from the start.
TBR (TheBeardRunner) Jan 2021 5:21pm, 1 Jan 2021 3,057 posts	0 TBR (TheBeardRunner) 278 proper ones 😁
