I think you meant to say: push, push, push ;)

That’s the American version ;)
internationally called press ups :D

I'm African and we say push ups as well.

I’m just joking around - the terms are pretty interchangeable. I must admit I only tend to use the term press up but o think that is what we called them in the military. The true reasons are probably lost to time….

reply

My time in the military they called them press ups, because it is a pressing motion. But push ups works in civvie street because well... You are pushing up... But I guess the press part of it comes from the motion similar to a chest press/bench press. Like you mentioned they're pretty interchangeable.

I've never really questioned this before. I've always accepted push ups as the term one uses when pushing his body up and down, Lol. I think both press up and push up is self explanatory to be honest. If you use any one of those terms in a conversation, the person will instinctively know what you're talking about.

Haha I'm not surprised the only time we ever had a debate on exercises was when people were kipping and claiming it counted as a pull-up... It's called a pull-up not a flap-around-like-a-fish-outta-water lol

Followers makes great leaders. What do you think?

12 sets of 1 is the same volume as 1 set of 12. You do what you gotta do to get those reps in 💪
