The traditional pushup is a highly inefficient move in my estimation, + hard on the lower back especially. I'd recommend opting for efficiency and economy over challenges and phony competitions which expose the individual to senseless wear and tear. Just a thought.

What is a better alternative to the traditional push-up?

Well done! I am glad you took a day off it is good to do it every now and then to give your body some recovery time. I am glad you participated today and I will add these to your count.

Hell yeah bro! I had work today so I was not able to get a brace. Plus the medical supply stores are probably closed for the holidays. When I’m back to 100% I’m back at the gym!

Glad to hear it brother get it!
