I'm not the worlds best climber, I lead a solid 10-something. But I do know one thing: if there's no rain on the rocks then there damn sure better be some Lemkor on the rocks. I've been working out in the gym all winter, trying to get strong. Now, it's early season and the cold rock is grippy as hell. And I am DYING to get out there and climb some rocks. I get the feeling, leading 10-something is going to soon become 11-something, and I'm ready to GO. I got Th-Fr this week off, and ALL next week. Anybody wanna go cragging? thanks Lemkor

Woah got carried away what I was trying to get at is There's no set % of your body weight you lift by doing a pushup it all changes depending on how you do it uh don't know if that bathroom scale idea will give any better than a rough estimate of what you're lifting like snugtop said if you want to lift 100%, do handstands otherwise, you'll never really know omfg, I HAVE to go climbing today

Push ups aren't just for your chest you know. If you do them right and by right, I mean, maintaining rigid posture (ie: no butt sticking up in the air or wobbling or drooping) it is much a much better body tension workout than pull ups could ever be. Just by arching or slumping your back slightly you could work out a different part of your chest. there's several ways to change ye olde standarde pushe up First Put yer feet up on something, like a coffee table or a chair, so that more of your weight is on your hands and you get a better upper chest workout or meet your hands in the middle, forming a diamond with the forefingers and thumbs. works yer arms different - more tricep less chest/shoulder. If you're wearing a necklace/pendant you can try to make it land in the diamond every time for extra pump or spread the hands out past shoulder width, to increase definition between them man boobs, the middle of your chest if you really want to do it hard Put your feet on a table and your hands on two chairs just shoulder width apart. When you go down, lower your chest past your hands. Bet you'll do less of those. Turning your elbows outward works your upper chest and shoulders more while pinning them to your sides works the lower chest Place your hands lower and higher wrt to your shoulders (ie: either at/above head height vs at/below nipple height) to adjust the amount of body tension required There's clapping pushups like dood said earlier But, if you want a body tension workout (climbing, climbing climbing) Try to hop your full body up and "clap" both your hands and feet so um yeah I like pushups
