Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

The hundred pressup challenge - anyone up for it?

Good form and not too fast is important to get the benefits. It does get better but be prepared to ask for help getting dressed to start with! :-)

Kinky, you are doing very well indeed. :-)

But I am only doing girly knee ones for now to keep it manageable, the plan is 6 weeks of girlie style, a week off to recover then start again doing big man ones, cos I is a big man really LOL!

This was a surprise as I am aching all over the shop at the moment. I thought I would prob jack it in half way through the first set but I knocked it off ok. Then the rest went ok too so something must be working.

I think press-ups are definitely one of the flashier exercises to do in the gym :-). But not as flashy as dips or pull-ups.

After pressups did some bicep curls - finally figured out a way to do them without putting my left forearm out of whack. So all in all a good sesh pour moi!

You are tougher than a lot of big men already :-) You will have arms/upper body/core of steel Kinky, keep up the good work! :-)

I'm having trouble dressing myself at the moment, or at least I will be in a day or two. :-)
