    I’ve been working out my entire life. I’m in my sixties now. No one has ever said to bring the elbows out to a 45 degree angle. I always had my elbows closer to 90 degrees . What a huge difference! My shoulder was broken in 4 places when a truck hit me while is was riding my bike. Bringing the elbows in has greatly reduced the pain while performing a push up. Thank you so much!

      Just the opposite for me. With shoulder impingement I have to almost be at 90 deg. for more relief in the shoulder area. 72 yrs. old and do 50 every morn. on kitchen cabinet while coffee is making. Just my quirky shoulders after years of abuse from lifting and motorcycle wrecks.

    Thanks for motivating me to do push-up. I hate it because little right shoulder pain. I try from the simple one. No excuse for not doing push up.
    Thanks, Sir

    Thanks Ed, I’m 76 with a shoulder injury and meniscus tears, so I can’t do the floor push ups. To be honest I was never any good or comfortable doing floor push ups. I’m going to try the bench or wall push ups, I’m sure I can manage those. 😊

    Tip: Wear gloves to prevent the edge of the railing or kitchen island from injuring the palms of the hands.

    I may have missed it, but how far back are my feet from wall push-ups and also counter pushups? Thank you

    • @FrontRowwithEd
      @FrontRowwithEd  Год назад

      Great question. You want to stand as far back as you need to so that 8-12 repetitions are challenging for you to do. Does this make sense?

    • @FrontRowwithEd
      @FrontRowwithEd  3 года назад

      Hey Danny, great question. I would shoot for a minimum of 2 sets, pause in the down position, and be mindful of your elbows so you don't end up with sore shoulders. Good luck and here's another video you may find helpful ruclips.net/video/jqYnFKXnRgQ/видео.html Take care
