Recently discovered that I can do a few one arm push ups, and amusingly I seem to do them more easily with my non-dominant hand. As I was telling some friends the other day, even though I hadn't been specifically training for one arm push ups, I had been doing a LOT more work with the Neuro-Grips for higher rep push ups (that in itself is another notable accomplishment) and … [Read more...] about One Arm Push Ups and Some Unusual Specialty Fruit: Arkansas Black Apples (3 Videos!)
