I keep the movement controlled.Originally Posted by hellboy3
The greater the control, the less swinging and momentum involved.Bodybuilding is 60% training and 50% diet. Yes that adds up to 110%, because that's what you should be giving it. Change the inside, and the physique will follow.

^^^^ and if you cross your legs and bend them a little that helps too.
Don't pray for lighter burdens but for stronger bodies.

Cross your ankles and then raise your legs up. Envision sitting in a chair with your ankles crossed.
"I do it because I can, I can because I want to, I want to because you said I couldn't"
I may not be the biggest and I may not be the strongest, but pound 4 pound.....Yeah I'm up there.
I train because I have a beautiful daughter and unfortunately, one day she will be a beautiful teenager.

I grab a chair and put my Feet on an high incline (chair) and use my body to do a pushup, I really haven't noticed momentum doing the push ups this way

this. i lift my legs up behind me so that theyre parallel with the floor, gives great control and lets you go down a lot further since your legs arent obstructing anything.Originally Posted by gymcandykid
