Dave W Jan 2021 10:12am, 29 Jan 2021 2,636 posts	Quote Pin Dave W I've just upped the number of reps from 15 per set to 20 per set. No issues so far.
TBR (TheBeardRunner) Jan 2021 10:39am, 29 Jan 2021 3,301 posts	Quote Pin TBR (TheBeardRunner) Same here Ultradunc. I tried increasing to 40 rep sets which were OK. Gone back to sets of 30 which much more comfortable and getting lots more sets in over the day.

Maclennane Jan 2021 12:11pm, 29 Jan 2021 26,847 posts	Quote Pin Maclennane I'm between 20 and 25. Managed a 30 the other day
Nellers Jan 2021 12:29pm, 29 Jan 2021 38,162 posts	Quote Pin Nellers I think the biggest set I ever tried was a 20. No idea what I’d be able to do if I can ent I’m for a max reps set. Doing them in 12s this morning was a step up for me.
Kittenheels Kath Jan 2021 1:56pm, 29 Jan 2021 3,269 posts	Quote Pin Kittenheels Kath Nice work, Nellers. I'm going to try a different form by keeping my elbows by my sides (if that makes sense). I know this is going to be hard work, but then I started from zero with my regular form, and am up to 15. So there is hope.

Dave A Jan 2021 2:58pm, 29 Jan 2021 22,781 posts	Quote Pin Dave A Kath, that’s how I do some of mine. It works triceps and deltoids more that a wider stance does. I was given them to rehab a shoulder injury last year by a physio. I’ve been mixing them with regular press ups since.
Kittenheels Kath Jan 2021 3:38pm, 29 Jan 2021 3,270 posts	Quote Pin Kittenheels Kath So if a nerve in my elbow goes 'ping' when I do press-ups this way, should I worry?
