Alternative to pushups? Anonymous
What's an alternative to pushups that does the same thing? For some reason I either have a sprained wrist of a broken ligament in it ( comes back occasionally, don't even know what does it ) and it's keeping me from doing pushups. I like, physically can't put my right hand flat on the ground and I'm not sure if it's because of the pain or I just physically can't do it.

I've tried doing knuckle pushups but they are FUCK hard and I'm just starting out so I can barely do like 1. Should I just continue working at the knuckle pushups. Help /fit/.

You could try flys. If you're really in bad shape, you could try the fly machine. Throw in something for triceps too though. If it still hurts though, see a doctor. Wrists are nothing to fuck with (/b/tard masturbation joke here).

my friend had this problem, he found out that he actually broke one of the tiny bones in the wrist when he fell during a track meet. The doctor originally thought it was sprained but it never got better, he could only bend it back a little ways. Anyway he got minor surgery on it and it was back to normal almost immediately after healing.

lemme guess, the scaphiod? I broke mine a few weeks ago and the doctor said if they didn't catch it,the bone could have died and I would need surgery.

But I'm in the same boat as OP, and I have a cast on, I do knuckle pushups OP, yes they are hard, but they work you good and you will strengthen the skin on your knuckles as well. One trick to the knuckle or fist pushups is make sure your hand is perfectly straight with your arm so it is your forearm that is receiving the strain, not the wrist/fingers

Knuckle pushups, finger pushups, or make yourself a pair of parallettes., as pictured in>>139078
Don't buy them, they take about 10 mins to make in a workshop yourself.
