The simple press-up

[nacal]

I'm a big fan of normal pushups but on fists instead of palms, but with one variation.

When you lower yourself to the ground remain about two inches off the ground for a minute then push back up.

Its a great exercise to strengthen your core muscles, after two weeks of this I was able to take a fairly hard mae geri to the midsection without flinching

I've also started doing hindu pushups, very hard workout.

Bushido, thanks for the link to the link. There's some very interesting stuff in the other thread. I've never seen / heard of the spiderman exercises, but I like them! I wasn't quite as inspired by the Hindu push-ups.

Another push-up variation that really fatigues the muscle is the 1-minute push-up. Start in the down position and SLOWLY push up for 30 seconds. Then come back down for 30 seconds. The one minute pull-up is awesome too. If definitely left my arms shaking!
