1-Arm Push-Up

I took some tips from Pavel Tsatsouline on the 1-arm push-up. He describes the process of working your way up to it. I think there's a mental barrier to break as well. It's a lot of weight on one arm. I try to keep my shoulder, pec, elbow, and wrist all vertically in sync.

I spent a week and a half attempting it before succeeding. I found elevated surfaces and gradually put my hand lower, even used a ladder to graduate one rung lower as I adapted to the weight, and became confident in the strength to perform it. I'm currently able to do 5 reps on each hand twice a workout. I'm increasing the amount by 1 rep per workout.
