What the One Arm Push UP Taught Me

THREE Steps to Nail ANY Super Hard Goal

For the past 13 months I’ve been working on One super hard goal.

Doing a One Arm Push UP so I can become a certified Strongfirst Bodyweight Coach

last week I realized the steps I took will help me nail ANY hard thing I want to get done in life (job stuff, relationships, being a better human, or being strong as heck!) Try these steps for yourself

1. STAY PATIENT (+ practice self compassion)

You can NEVER Rush Strength. But you MUST keep showing up and working the plan – EVERY DAY

2. TEAM UP!

Hire Bad Ass Pros. Pay Them. Do the work – and KEEP going (Scroll down to Check out my Team)

3. MAKE ROOM

When you have ONE really big challenge- You cannot do all the other things

Here’s How I learned these steps. SCROLL Down to get each step in detail, so you can totally nail your own goal!!

“Failure Is The Condiment That Gives Success It’s Flavor ” Truman Capote

We all know it – Sometimes you gotta take the risk and fail in order to do better

Late October I failed, a lot

As a strength coach, I am determined to learn the absolute most efficient moves that unlock strength like no other

One of these elite moves is the One arm Push Up.

Why am I so determined to get this? Because it will make almost ALL other movements more powerful, light up your brain and lean you out like no other. Plus my goal is to keep getting smarter and stronger till I’m 90

So go ahead – CLICK BELOW, watch me Fail. Then read on to see why I had to fly my butt across the country and invest big bucks to get better as a coach and strength student.

We gotta take that leap for the net to appear, right? And sometimes that’s a big fall till you find the net. But no human EVER made strides and reached big goals without getting uncomfortable, failing and falling.

What failing the SFB taught me was how to do better! I went in with the best intentions, put my all in and can see now exactly how to move forward (Thanks to great coaches that saw me fail and are teaching me how to do better)

See when you show up and show others where you want to go, with your head up and heart out.. they will most likely reach out a hand and give you that next step forward.

If we never fail, fall, take risks we will NEVER move forward. If you want to reach any goal – you’ve go to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

SO next time you tell yourself you wanna lose weight or run that next race – also tell yourself that you’re gonna have to have patience with yourself – stay firm through your inner child throwing a fit that you can not eat those cookies, fries, or that fav bevvie of yours. Stop saying “This is Hard or this isn’t fair” Brave the rain and the dark mornings – get up, get out and keep getting up, out and pushing away those little excuses… you just gotta keep doing exactly that EVERY DAY.

Just KNOW THIS – you must keep being uncomfortable (drill out those daily comforts you built up). Consistency and tenacity is the only way through this – but cool thing is the YOU, you really wanna be is waiting for you patiently – you just gotta keep falling and it will get easier:) You just gotta keep it up, every day.

Summer workout VID+ Push up tips:)

WHOOPS!!

I sent you the wrong link! No Sweat, I fixed it by putting my vid here for you:)

For your Summer travel VID – Just CLICK HERE

SUMMER WORKOUT VID- for vid + step by step workout

If you missed last month’s tip on better Push ups – Here you go as well:)

This is my training Vid I have to send into MY COACH, the great Karen Smith – Who is the queen of the one arm push up. She’s got me set up to get all the way to the floor on these suckers by October!

Push ups have HUGE payoffs.. they are one of the most simple and most beneficial exercises. Too bad most of us are totally botching them and simply wreaking havoc on our bods.

Don’t feel bad – I used to botch them big time as well. But once we know better – you will SEE the transformations!

you’ll know because you’ll feel the work in your CORE – not just your arms. Both will definitely tone big time

Here’s how to get the most results from your 2 ARM or 1 ARM push ups

1. Keep your elbows in – Elbows out simply builds wide shoulders and turns off your core – STOP THAT!
2. Keep your butt tight as possible! – This keeps your deep abdominal muscles on
3. Go all the way down and up. – Stop cheating yourself and going half way – NOSE to the floor friends.

Can’t quite nail all that – No sweat – all ya gotta do is bring the floor up to you! No assists or knee push ups.. This is greatly holding you back.

SImply pick a raised surface – find a height you can get all the way down to AND all the way back up from after touching your nose.

Do this protocol 3 times a week

Have at least 1 day between each set up – SO maybe Tues/ Thurs/ Sat set up

Tues = find the height you can do JUST 1 full push up down and up – maybe this is a wall in your house OR a raised step – with 13 risers.

Do 1 full push up – then go do some challenging cardio for 2-3 mins – come back to your next push up- JUST ONE, Repeat 5x. So 5 Push UPs, 10-15 mins cardio

Thurs = Pick a riser height you can do 5 push ups in a row – so maybe 15 risers. Right after that hold a long arm plank for :20 counts

DO something for 2-3 mins again – abs, jump rope, stay fast and loose

Repeat 3x on this

Day 3 = 3 push ups – so maybe 13 risers.

Again recover for 3 mins between each set – stretch, do some cardio – Just DON”T use your arms!

I’m sticking to this exact training regimen myself on my 1 arm push ups- most of all stay patent – you’ll get there!Do the same thing – just use 2 arms!
