Alligator Pushups

I found a great way to fry my chest after my workout! Has anyone ever heard of Alligator Pushups? You get in the pushup position and stagger one hand forward of the other about a foot. Then you go down into a pushup, chest to floor, and when you push back up you stagger the other hand forward a foot and crawl with your feet. You keep doing this across the gym. I go about forty feet each set. Yes people will look at you funny but it is usually the people that sit on the machines and talk to their friends anyway. The true hard corps will give you a look like your crazy. Just go to failure each set until you can't push up any more. If done correctly you will look like an alligator crawling. The staggered position works your chest at an angle it has probably never been worked before and it is almost like doing a one arm pushup because your rear hand can't help as much. Give it a try and tell me what you think.

I have done them. Rough. My girlfriend is an officer in the USAF, and I picked them up. Military workouts I find help stay in shape better then other.

I would do these push-ups and hardly get anywhere lol.

So Marine, do you have any other unorthadox exercises? I like to mix it up. Thanks

Yeah actually I have a lot. I like unorthodox. They work good for confusing your muscles. I'll post some every once in awhile. Gotta get to work for now.

sounds good. thanks

well, as I have posted before, Im always up for some crazy sh- stuff, and this sounds painful and crazy.

I will give this a shot next week as I am leaving for Aruba on saturday morning. There is enough beach near our place, so I will take some pics of me doing this and add them when I get back.

Yea, unorthadox is the way to go. It breaks up the mundane workout and is challenging. I like to do military-like curcits here and there. It builds muscular endurance.

Ex:

15 push-ups
5 pull-ups
15 sit-ups
15 butterfly kicks
5 min moderate intensity bike or treadmill
repeat 5 times

Good stuff.

well, I gave it a shot and this didnt work out that well. The sand was to soft (which was nice) and on the angle, this was next to impossible to do.

I did however do regular push ups
