Deleterious Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 This was built in Detroit. They build one floor at a time on the ground and then lift it up into place. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microline133 Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Spent some time walking around that site when I was there a couple of weeks ago, then spent some time reading about the construction methodology and goals of the process....Lift Build. It's an interesting concept, particularly from an efficiency and safety perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biff Mayhem Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I am doing a 3,000 pushup challenge in November raising money for St. Jude (my favorite charity). If you would like to donate $5 or whatever (heck, even a buck helps), you'll be helping a family receive free medical care for a child with cancer. https://www.facebook.com/donate/1259963094845565/?fundraiser_source=external_url 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine, who is in decent shape for someone in their mid 40's, was doing 100 a day to keep up with his HS boys. He ended up having some kind of muscle attack on his arms but wasn't sure at the time, went to the ER to rule out a heart attack. Don't be afraid to go on your knees. At our age.... it's no joke. I used to bang out 25 at a time but my wrists and fingers started to develop some issues, i wear gloves now. But during our classes if we are doing chest or pushup work I get some 35 pound dumbells and do it that way. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, like many our age, I displace more water than I used to. In preparation of the challenge, I have been doing them on my knees. I've grown wise enough to know that I don't have to impress anyone and will know when it is the right time to transition to doing them on my toes. As a barrel-chested fire hydrant, pushups are the one thing that I've always been able to do a lot of and had stopped doing them because I fell victim to laziness combined with busyness. Having said that, it's sage advice and I appreciate it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can make them almost as effective on your knees anyway and remove a lot of the injury risk. Win Win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to add pushups to my routine as I continue to try to lose some weight, but the rest of the routine has been in tatters since our fall fundraiser - which is 5 days of 12 hour shifts & is a routine killer. If I do add them, it will not be to impress anyone. I don't even wanna look in the mirror & see myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
