Some eaiser variations of push ups to help you build the strength to do a traditional one!

moniquill

I don’t generally reblog ‘fitness’ stuff but gaddamn could I use some more arm strength.

Push-ups are my worst nightmare. I can only do 44 before I pass out on the floor.

maxxiegalaxy-deactivated2022032

“I can only do 44” hahaha omg I can’t even do one.

o-lascaux-o

yes good

I was always frustrated how my P.E. teachers wanted all of us to go “all-or-none” and basically hurt ourselves without letting us build up from square-one like in the first gif. Then they’d fuckin yell at us for not doing it right >:|

Knee-pushups is not square-one.

When I got my first personal trainer, she had me doing push ups almost standing upright in the weight lifting bars so that I could do 15 reps and 3 sets of them. It’s more about the technique of the push up, and if you’re pushing too much weight, you can’t exersize the correct muscles within their tolerances. This post is pretty important tto know cause of that.

I was introduced to the knee push-up last year and it was such a fucking game changer. I had NO idea it was possible to work those same muscles just with a slight variation in position.

I wanna just verify that these are excellent for building strength, both as someone who took weights class in high school with a good teacher, and as someone who’s had a lifetime of physical therapy (not for my arms specifically, but I’ve spent a lot of time in sports medicine centers). And again, if the vertical one in the first gif is difficult, you don’t even have to lean into it like that. Start standing, and only lean as much as it takes you to lower towards the wall.

And remember, many exercises can be modified in this way! I did an image search for “modified pull up” and got exactly what I was looking for right away, which is this:

Doing pull ups on a lower bar, or from the straps with handles that gyms sometimes have (called the TRX - they can also be used to support yourself during squats and some balance exercises) is a lot easier than jumping straight into vertical pullups, and lets you build up that muscle with exercises that are still comfortable and safe for you, so you can do more sets of more reps.

As a general rule, always start with lower-strain exercises and practice good form before you work your way up. You don’t want to have to unlearn bad habits that could lead to injury later as the difficulty increases.

@imfemalewarrior I’m assuming you’ve seen this post but in case you haven’t—it seems like your kind of thing

Here are push up and pull up progressions!

Because I have serious issues with core strength and cannot do a sit up or a crunch without using muscles I shouldn’t and hurting myself, I looked up core exercises for beginners (because modified sit ups just have me ways to make it harder), and here’s what I found.

All from here, which also includes sit ups with the idea that you start up and don’t go all the way down.

This stuff on the bottom is some of the stuff I do for physical therapy, can vouch for it

Light and Shading Tutorial

hylianjean

This breaks it down a bit more toward the level I need

shoomlah

good tutorials are few and far between ( a lot of artists seem to get caught up in the superficial trappings of portraiture rather than the nitty gritty fundamentals), but these breakdowns by Bryan Lee are just fantastic. Super applicable tips and tricks, no matter your personal technique/approach.

Tiefling Boyfriend: Mercutio

I bring to you the sad sad tale of Mercutio, a sapphire blue Tiefling. What makes his tale so sad? Read and find out.

Male Monster Reader x Male Human

I’m quite lucky, if I say so myself. Most people wouldn’t get where I am today, and since I am a tiefling I feel this is doubly true. I try not to take my fortune for granted or let the sands slip through my fingers, but sometimes comfort does make one feel complacent. I may not seem humble at first glance, but sometimes it’s hard to appear that way when I have earned most of what I have.

I was raised by a loving mother, deep in the woods. Having a child like me was not an easy feat, but my mother was tough and resilient. She opened a small store in my youth, and I have fond memories of working there. “We have to make things look perfect, my baby,” she would say to me. “When we have money we can be lazy, but as we are poor, we have to try harder than everyone else.”

I furrowed my brow at this. “Why?”

She looked at me, brushing her hair from her face and tucking it back under her scarf. She knelt and smiled at me. “Because people like to look down on us, my baby.” She brushed her fingers across my cheek, so soft and yet roughened by her labors. “They will find a way to look down on you for any reason, and when you are different, and when you are poor, it makes it all the much harder. So we must work hard to prove them wrong, and keep them from turning their noses up at us.” She bopped the tip of my nose, and I giggled.

I guess this is how I’m processing what we’re all going through right now. I had the stray thought, “What is Spider-Man doing during all this?” and this happened. On the one hand, it’s kinda sloppy and inconsistent, but on the other hand, I had the idea Sunday night and I’m posting this Wednesday night. 5 color pages in 4 nights is pretty good work. Anyway. Hope everyone’s safe out there.
