  • Pushups


    • With the many ways of training out there the simple pushup is still a great exercise choice. They can be done anywhere, require no special equipment and can be trained progressively by adjusting the form.

    Shown here is the great oldime strongman Earle E. Liederman demonstrating pushups in one of his classic courses. Liederman and many of the other early strength authors often prescribed a mixture of bodyweight calisthenics and barbell/dumbbell training since the two styles of training compliment each other very effectively.
