I had spectacular success when using bands to get from Zero to 1 unassisted pullup. Current PB is 10 ..... last one is dodgy so call it 9
Was wondering could I do something similar with one arm pushups i.e. attach a band around a suspended ring then around my chest. I do not like the inclined one arm pushups using a box/chair/desk, not sure why, just feels awkward to me.
That would give me full ROM on the floor right from the start. i.e. use different coloured bands for easy/medium/hard days on Karen Smith's program
Is there anything particularly wrong or bad for you regarding band assisted pushups ? I'm giving myself 12 months to do this. Current PB somewhere between 30 and 35 pushups, close spaced pushups and close spaced declined pushups 20+ and need to start practising soon for the annual Aussie pushup challenge approx June.
