I have heard about cases where you have had cases similiar to "runners knee" except on the shoulders meaning too much stress and tension on the shoulders and elbows and your shoulder ends up getting ****ed.

As a Sergeant in the Army, I used to have my squad do 20 push-ups every 1/2 hour on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Every one of my soldiers and myself could do 100 push-ups in two minutes for our madatory Physical Fitness Tests every few months as a result of this.Comment

100 pushups is good to test endurance, but it shouldnt be done frequentlyComment

I think it has to do alot about your weight , I could do alot more when I was younger and weighed less , im stronger now and weigh more but can do less pushups !Comment

Small pushups on the knuckles, e.g. only drop about 6", are good to improve punching power. Full pushups are better for grapplers because they allow the grappler to hold a person and control their own body weight at any distance from the body. A person who hurts himself doing too many is probably rushing his training. One shouldn't increase reps more than 10% per week. Better to do different kinds of push-ups most of the week and a long set only once per week.Comment

What about clapping push ups are they much better for you that normal ones?Comment

I think they add variety to the normal push-ups, and also teach you to become more explosive.Originally posted by Lucky466 View PostComment
