Push up handles

As a foot note to all the good advice you've already gotten I'd add one more thing. I had trouble with my wrists a while back and was struggling with pushups. My wrists just did not tolerate being extended past 80 degrees. I made a pair of handles out of scrap 2x4 and 1.5" dia dowl rod. They market something very similar now called the perfect pushup or something like that. Point is, by using a handle, I could rotate the arm any way needed for comfort and the palm was resting on the handle so my wrists were in very little extension. It was way more comfortable to do pushups. Just someting else for you to consider.
