BTW, what is the general consensus regarding push-up frequency? Every day? Every other day? Just curious.

"Lesson One"? What are you referring to exactly?

[William S.]

Hey Tim,

I practice John Peterson's Pushing Yourself To Power. It is based on the various physical culture courses that were popular from the 1920s until the 1950s. You know, Atlas, Liederman, all those cats.

Anyway, the exercises are broken up into "Lessons" according to bodypart. For example, Lesson One targets the chest, and all the subsequent lesson target other parts of the body.I post on the Bronzebow website, which is run by Peterson, and the Self-Resistance community as well, so I simply "cut and paste" the posts so that I don't have to retype them all. I figured that most of you wouldn't know what I was refering to with "Lesson One."

Take it easy,
Will

I feel embarrased by the pushup numbers, and I could have done more, but I am trying that whole "train don't strain" thing. We'll see how it goes.

Hello all,

Close grip Push-ups: 3 x 10

Military: 3 x 10

Wide grip: 10

From Lesson 4:
AB-1 5 reps
AB-2 5 reps
AB-3 5 reps
AB-4 5 reps
AB-5 5 reps
AB-8(?) 5 reps, each side

Lesson One: As prescribed.

I don't have my manual with me, but I think that AB-8 is the crunch where you press your knees and thighs to the ground and crunch up. If I am wrong please let me know. I'll reconfirm this when I get home.
