    I dont' feel weird at all..I do it right next to the row machine lol.

    I am actually thinking about doing decline push-ups instead of regular (I am military so the regulars are too easy)...propping my feet up on the row machine seat and pumping them out.

    DO IT. Think of your push-ups like any of the other exercises...it's all about progression.

    i posted this in the stage 4 thread but maybe this is more appropriate..
    i've been suffering with form lately because of uncertainty. i do my pushups "regular" on the ground, and keeping my elbows in towards my body as much as possible. every time i see anyone doing pushups at the gym they're always doing them with their elbows OUT, upper arms perpendicular to the body. so can anyone reassure me that the book does in fact say to keep your elbows in? (i had to return it to the library). it just doesn't feel right sometimes.

    I do my pushups right next to the machine I'm using. It's no big deal, people do all sorts of stuff at the gym.

    Doing your pushups right there will just make you look legit, don't worry about it.
