I was all over the place trying to find something to use for my push-ups. Started out trying a 45# plate on my back, thinking we used to do that in the CrossFit days, but it was for planks. Then I tried the 65# sandbag straight down the back, which kept moving down to my ass. Then tried the sandbag across my back, which wasn’t stable either. Ended up doing a green band around my back, which worked well. So today I did 2 with 45# + 5 with sandbag, then 3 with sandbag + 10 with band, and finally 10 with band. Next week I’ll use the band throughout.
