            My wrists often get sore when doing pushups. Aside from straightening my wrists and doing pushups on my knuckles, are there any other ways to reduce strain on the wrist joints?

                        Farley I bought a cheap pair of pushup bars. They save a lot of wrist strain. You can get them at Walmart, Dicks Sporting goods, Modells (east coast). For more challenge, get the Perfect Pushup set at Walmart for under 30 dollars. Its a challenging set and mixes things up for you to keep it interesting.

                          Well all, I did NOT get the all clear from the doctor. I have some tendonitis problems in my rotater cuff (but no major ruptures so thats good) but I can only cheer you on for the next few months. All weight work is off limits too, except for a one pound veggie can. But I can still crack the whip.
