I did this at the gym today, and man, it’s a great workout! Snippets of the video of you and Nia kept running though my mind and made me laugh. Thanks for this awesome workout!

OMG I did this workout this morning and it was just what the doctor ordered;) I´ve been reading your blog for a while and I find it so inspiring. There are quite a few fitness-blogs here in Sweden that mention Myomy every now and then so I got qurious at first and then I got hooked;) Keep up the good work:)

In reply to Mel.

Mel, my view is that as long as there are no existing deficits in the shoulder, then I see no reason to stop before that level. In fact, I would argue, that since we are born with that range of movement, then we should actually try and build up to it. If it was bad for our shoulders not to do that range, then surely we wouldn’t be able to do it?? I would advise you to check your form. If the form is off and your elbows are flared, or your scapulae are not gliding properly, then that can very well be the cause of your issues. Dips, Bench Press, and even simply pushing yourself off the ground will all result in the shoulders being below the elbows. If you never get that stretch, then your chest will always be left weaker.

My overall advice is that if it hurts, don’t do it. But you should always look into why it hurts.

Hope this makes sense. Thanks for the question 🙂

Hi Marianne,
I noticed in this video that you go very low in your push up. From a yoga perspective your shoulders should not be lower than your elbows because it will strain everything around your shoulders over time causing injury. The fitness side wants you to go low. As I offer both, I am slightly stuck with this one. My own experience does make me stop at elbow level, but this is because I struggle with my own joints. This does not mean the next person does and has to do the same. What is your take on this matter? This is a question as I am looking for advice, NOT to criticise your low push up.
Thank you for your time

In reply to Marianne. No hate at all! :-) I only have a 8 kilo KB + not much time without two small kids, so with those bottlenecks it is important to get challanges. Good workouts solves that for me. An intertaining video is a big plus :-D

Hey Tali, Great to hear from you after 2 years – thank you for reading my blog for so long 🙂

Also very happy to hear of your progress. I actually have a few older workouts that focus more on abs, but that is something I can add in to a future workout – no problem.

Cheers
