Topic: Does it look bad?

I did 20 chin ups the other day.

No big deal.

I couldn't do a chin up to save my life.

No big deal.

Hey armywife78,

Have you very tried going to a climbing wall? I definitely noticed a difference in my upper body since I started climbing. About a month ago I couldn't even do one push up, but now I can do about 3-4 good ones. I still have a while to go but I feel thankful that a friend recommended this to me.

Best of luck.

If you want to get good at pushups, start doing more pushups. Same with running or almost anything else in life The simplest answer is the best one here.

This is a good place to start: http://hundredpushups.com/index.html

I would think most don't get to 100 in 6 weeks but if you knock off a few sets multiple time per week you'll be on your way. Pushups require no equipment and you can do them almost anywhere. Waiting for your food to cook? bang out a set on the kitchen floor. Off to bed? Crank out a set before you hit the hay.

There's several iPhone apps and websites as well....for chin ups, pull ups, squats, pushups, etc.
