As someone who served for 30 years, including being on the front line more than once, I don't really appreciate your post! Most of us are pretty "normal" and portraying a lot of us as being "down and outs" is so wrong that it makes me very cross. :evil:

Ok now I'm better understanding the vibe in many of your posts. :thumbsup: Plenty of civis can't hack civi st either. Ex military do seem to make the press more, but some of that is, I think, because it sells papers. Again just my own experience and observations but over the past 40 years life in the UK Military has become a bit more normal. So adjusting when you leave is less stress full. I don't know if that is the same for the US. Shocking waste of good people how ever you look at it.

Is it harder that way or the correct way, with the arms further out? :idunno:

I ask because I just don't do press-ups, sit ups yes

if you do either wide arm or close arm press ups its generally that bit harder

1 handed press ups are considerably harder :wink:

I'm not going to nominate anybody cos it may be too much for others

There isn't really a wrong or right way Sars, depends which area of the chest you want to focus on, the pectorals are a big muscle so you can train a specific area, hands wide apart will give the outer, towards the shoulders, and some middle development whereas hands close together will train the inner area to give you the definition between each pec over the sternum. An overall general exercise will have the hands shoulder width apart to work the whole pec.
