Treacle Aug 2008 4:08pm, 3 Aug 2008 1,281 posts	0 Treacle Week 1 day one for me - decided to do the easiest level as I only managed 6 on the test, and starting with 7 ,7,5,4 sounded scary! But actually managed 4, 3, 2, 2 and then 5 so pleased with that. Full press ups too:-)

Cuddy Aug 2008 8:02pm, 3 Aug 2008 20 posts	0 Cuddy Hey quick question - I'm starting tomorrow but not sure which form should I use. I tend to do my push ups with palms quite wide but some people do with palms closer to the body, more of a tricep push up...Any suggestions?
