1 arm push-ups

[anthrax]

How many 1 arm push-ups can you do?

like that:

 

[HaZaRDouZ]

50

 

[NorgePrecision]

4 or 5 with the right arm and almost 1 with the left arm.

dont do them. Good for showing off at parties and not much else.

IMHO they're more beneficial than regular push-up

They take an incredible amount of shoulder stability along with real strength

you won't get *fuckin' hooge* but you'll build effective strength

my spine makes terrible sounds on the first one I do. but i save a fortune on chiropractor visits!

Back in middle school when I was 145lbs I could 15 with each arm all the way up and down. Now I might get 1, but I'm bigger and can lift more weight so there! LOL...

They're cool, but you'll build more strength from benching than doing them.

Fair call. Maybe I just hate them cos I can't do them! Well maybe after watching one of the rocky movies I could psych myself up for a set...

I can do about 20 or so.... its more about practice then anything else... they really arent that difficult... I practice every day because I am thinking about training for fitness and those are required elements...

I tried them when I saw a buffed up Nick Cage doing them in Red Rock West about 12 years ago!

I did what he did: two sets of 5.

My party trick was one arm CLAPPING pressups! where you explode up off the floor, bring the other hand round, clap, land on the other hand, explode up, clap, land on the first hand...

no video... just practice it really isn't hard its all about balance... if your core is strong you could easily double that... I practice them everyday during my stretching, so it would be sad if I couldn't do that many...

 

[necr0potenc3]

I can do 6 or so, if I have my legs on the same level as the rest of my body (on 2 pillows or so)

bad core I guess
