The Push Up
A simple enough exercise - push ups. All you need is the ground and you, which means you can do it virtually anywhere. Everyone's done them at some point in their life, whether in high-school PE or part of a structured workout program.
Simple as a push up is, there are actually many variations to it. Close grip, wide grip, elevated or even one arm push ups, one has many options when it comes to implementing push ups into a workout.
But really, why should we do push ups? The ability to hold your body in a solid plank position and push it off the ground is an excellent way to train an athlete's upper body and core strength. Which means if you can't do a solid push up yet, you know what you need to work on.
The following is a link to an excellent article exploring the push up in detail with progressions as well as tips on how to get the most out of this "simple" exercise:-
The Push Up
Completed : 8:03 (80kg)

As usual with most Friday's, I couldn't get off work early enough but reached just in time to fit in the WOD. Went with a slightly higher 20kg for the deadlift. I wanted to go at 100kg but I was advised not to push so hard as the push-ups would kick my ass. Obviously it was advice well taken as the goddamn push-ups were a bitch. I tried doing CTF's but at the third round i couldn't push my chest of the floor and reverted to standard push-ups. Oh well. Still the deadlift coupled with push-ups were a killer short workout which was the power!
