aside from the nutritional debate, a sugar buzz can provide a psychological benefit - it certainly makes me feel more energetic. That can make the difference between doing a single pushup or switching on the computer/tv.

a. standard pushups as I know of them have read of them and all of how I've seen them done have three points on the ground- your two hands as two points, your feet as the third. I don't know what you're doing, but it sounds weird if your feet aren't involved.


Maybe that's the problem, your feet don't have to be a single point, shoulder width apart is fine.

The 3/4 style might be ideal for you.

Well, I basically disregarded all advise here. Confused And yet... I can now do 25 in a row!

I do three sets of 25 pushups every morning now in addition to my other exercises.

I can't do a single Push-Up, yet I can lift 50 Lb boxes for 15 minutes, before I get tired.
