Are pushup pyramids a good way of increasing strength and stamina? If used effectively will they be able to increase the number of pushups I can do in one set? They seem like a very good way of building strength, but I wondered what you wise people of MAP thought about pushup pyramids. Ta Muchly, Rob
Go for it. Check out the Health and Fitness section for threads on Pushups, and links to good set's. Look out for 'Scrapper's' workouts.
I'm starting Scrappers Workout this week on a daily basis. Its probably going to kill me, but it sounds like a challenge. Pyramid to 12, then back down again. www.trainforstrength.com
I would definately recommend getting Scrapper's videos rather than trying to do the workouts off paper. Pushup-along-with-Scrapper Works great!
Getting scrappers workouts on video will have to wait until I have a real job. But yeah, I think pushup pyramids are great.
Not that easy to "obtain". The videos are in US format, and there's no DVD available. And there's nothing on kazaa. Besides, sometimes its right to actually pay for stuff rather than liberating it :Angel:
