Car Pushes

any do these, how do you add in with rest of your work. How far to push, how many reps, how often etc?


Thanks for suggestions in advance.

Done a few - excellent total body workout. Did it as a conditioning session all by itself - what you work depends a bit on your position - facing the car or leaning backwards into it etc.

I pushed about 25 yds up a (very) slight gradient, and then walked back as it rolled back to the starting point. Important - check the gradient!

I pushed at the bonnet, so my mate at the wheel could see me easily if I stumbled and could hit the brake.

Yeah, and what Dog isn't saying is that it was my Animal pick-up, and we'd loaded the back with a tonne of weight too....

Don't mess with da Dog....

I did these for about 8 sessions. It was awesome and entirely brutal. I used a honca civic onghatch up a slight gradiant and pushed for about 40 seconds a pop as hard as I could for about 8 sets. Fucking brutal stuff and real excellent.

I saw lewisj practicing some of these last night, on a peugeot 306, backwards in the rain. Guy even managed to start his car, which I think was the desired outcome!

Smiler - Cliff once got us to push his about a mile after training trying to start it at which point we discovered it was out of petrol.

Bloody hippie.....:-)
