Default Re: Shoulders

A nice thing about push-ups is that, while they don't grow strength very fast and seem to have a very low limit for the maximum strength they produce, virtues come out of that too. Growing into an exercise slowly gives your tendons and ligaments time to develop really well, and to get good capillary growth nourishing the muscle. That sets you up nicely for future growth.

Plus, it's kind of cool that you can rattle them off virtually anywhere, and that they can give your muscles a nice stretch too.
