One-arm pushups?

[gettinlarger]

Like, Rocky-style. Would these have any place in anyone's training? I would think they would help with explosive power? Thoughts?

They seem to screw up my delts whenever I try 'em.

I think there great for injuring yourself. As for training I think it would be pointless. The thing with 1 arm pushups is that it's kind of cool if you can do them, but I don't think it's worth hurting yourself to look cool. It's really just a lot of form, but even then they are still pretty tough, I've done a couple reps before.

you could do clap pushups for developing explosive strength...

or catch yourself from a standing position falling forward

or the thing where you have 2 chairs and push off of them, catch yourself then explosively push yourself back up and catch yourself on the chairs....(did that make sense?)


one arms are hard

I was just wondering, cause I saw a commercial for Rocky. Thanks for the quick replies though.

Looks like a bitch on the shoulders IMO. Me having a bad shoulder, i would never try them.

I have never been able to do them! I tried and failed many times. I will get them one day thouhg. I don't think I am strong enough yet.

Bro, with your upper body strength, I'm sure you can do them. It's probably just your form that's bad.
