I found this training (straight-leg push up) really really difficult. I know most men can easily do push-up, but are there any women out there who can do a perfect push-up? Although I had been training myself to lift weights (barbell and dumbell), I found myself not even able to do a single push-up when I initially started to learn it. I'm now able to do some push-up already, up to 15 times for the 1st rep, and the next repetition only 10 times the most. I'm still not satisfied with my push-up, my body posture a little bit out and my arms still not strong enough. How can I improve my push-up and get a nicely toned triceps?  smile.gif

My client at 48 years old, does straight legged push-ups. For 3 repetitions. Eccentric push-ups can help.
As for my client, she did plenty of dumbbell swings and dumbbell clean and push presses along with some wheelbarrows.

I can't see a single reason to actually do the plank honestly. The lack of a movement makes me find it an extremely boring exercise. I know David Beckham uses it, but I personally, see no benefit in wasting my time in a plank position. UNLESS, you're using it with load. with load, fair enough then it's of good purpose.

Hanging leg raises, glute ham raises, back extensions with weights, reverse extensions, dumbbell swings, front squats, quarter front squats with back squat max, these are workouts that should be incorporated to get a strong core. It's taxing both isometrically and dynamically.
