Radok Posted September 13, 2003 Author Share Posted September 13, 2003 Why not? If you can't laugh at yourself, there's no point. No point in what, you might ask? there's just no point.Many people seem to take Karate to get a Black Belt, rather than getting a Black Belt to learn Karate.

Radok Posted September 17, 2003 Author Share Posted September 17, 2003 Does it damage your tendons? Or rotator cuff? If you can't laugh at yourself, there's no point.

Darce Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 I can only do about 5 pull-ups, but it´s because I´ve got such a big body (not fat, it´s all muscles ) But I can do 80 push-ups instead.

ad Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 it best not to do one handed specified excercises, ie one handed pull ups or press ups. The reason for this is that we all have a stronger hand, and it is likely that you will choose the desired hand to do those excercies with. This puts excess strain on shoulders and forearms on a particular side and will disrupt the overall balance in the body. I speak of experience with the one handed press ups. In reality they arent that helpful, unless you want to show off.
