[quote=Anonymous]I bet you know the answer to your question but are hoping there's another way.  There's not.  Assuming you are in relatively good shape, 45 days of push ups and [shudder] pull ups will make difference.

For push ups, make sure your hands are at shoulder width or slightly wider, roughly underneath your shoulders.  Pull your shoulder blades down and back before you start the push up (ie, don't have your shoulders hunched forward - that's a one-way ticket to injury-ville).  If you have to, do them on your knees, but if they aren't hard that way, either your form is wrong or you need to be on your feet.  If you can only do a few on your feet, start there and move to your knees (when you HAVE to, not when you WANT to) but make sure you are gradually increasing the number on your feet. Do them everyday.  Yes, everyday.  Increase the number you do at a time every week.

For pull us, if you can't do full ones, work the negative (watch youtube videos to start).  When you can get in a couple of full ones, do them and then throw in more negatives.  Everyday.  [/quote]
