Gunner recruit Training?

[sportbilly42]

I can do everything well apart from press ups!! any tips?

The secret is you have to lie on the floor and press DOWN (then your body goes UP….. )

Practise, persistence, perseverance ..with a liberal amount of sweat thrown in for good measure. …And don’t go for Rocky style ‘clap press ups’ straight away. This website may help out with specific training tips.

It was always the chin-ups that did for me…. Always ended up dangling on the beam like a biff for ages trying to ‘jerk’ myself up. I could never master the technique and tried to rely on (ahem..) ‘brute strength’ when guys either side of me seemed to just bend their legs and have an effortless ‘dipping and nodding up’ routine from the midriff that got them up and hardly relied on arm movement. Nearly took out my top set on several occasions when I made it to the top and celebrated by accidentally clinging onto the edge of the beam with my front teeth……..

Thankfully if I want to get up a beam nowadays, I’m allowed to use a ladder…….
