I am not sure why push ups are so tricky for me.  I don’t seem to have trouble with planks or even the renegade row but push ups continue to elude me.  I have to do the modified push ups from the floor and I have my bar at maybe waist level for the standing push up.  I will get these; I am guessing that my pectoral and deltoid muscles are under trained.  So I guess my goal will be to keep throwing in these push ups.  I want to be able to do them; I will be able to do them.

I also learned another exercise Monday at my training session.  I don’t quite know what to call it but I was seated at the longpull machine and instead of pulling it to me he had me lift it up with arm extended straight out in front of me.  This was nearly impossible; I think he even took all the weight off; I tried again today and had a little better luck.  Charles had me try it from a standing position too.  Still very tricky so something else to work on!
