I used to follow all of the “rules of bodybuilding”: “Make sure you eat within 20 minutes of your workouts” “Simple sugars and EXACTLY 50 grams of protein post workout” “Cardio will keep you from gaining size” “Low reps for growth, high reps for definition” I could go on and on with this list and …
The push-up was the first formal exercise that I ever remember doing. I’m not sure how old I was when I did my first push-up, but it was somewhere in gym class in elementary school (probably 1st grade?) I can remember looking around me and seeing all of the other kids failing and half-assing it. …
