Hindu Push ups

[Traymond]

Who hear does them, and who hear also does the perfect push up...

And can I please know your thoughts on which one is better.

I get a better work out with the hindu push ups.

I do them occasionally, but never really fell in love with them. The perfect push-up is a huge waste of money, I say... you can get a great push-up with this thing called the floor. If no floors are available, the ground will do. Save your 30 bucks.

Haha thats basically all I needed to hear, I was extremely reluctant to buy them and glad that I dint really do it.

I prefer diamond push up and knuckle pushups, but knuckle push ups I dont really feel anything in my chest like normal flat handed ones.

What makes the Hindu push-up better than the regular push-up?

The perfect push-up is a huge waste of money, I say... you can get a great push-up with this thing called the floor. If no floors are available, the ground will do. Save your 30 bucks.

If you're really into tough stuff, you can do knuckle push-ups on the floor where you twist the wrists at the end, like the perfect push-up does. If you really want that twist....

When I do hindu pushups it feels like its working my abs aswell....?

[FitOrDie]

All sorts of pushups use your abs and hip flexors because you hold yourself in a plank position with those muscles.

Also, diamond pushups are terrible on your shoulders, I recommend against them.

What about clapping push ups...some people say they are bad for your shoulders as well and some say they are good...which one is it...lol?

[FitOrDie]

So long as you are not pushing from a position where your elbows are awkwardly turned out and your hands in close (ala diamond pushups) you're good to go. Clapping pushups are fantastic, I highly recommend them.
