Has anyone here ever heard of HIndu Pushups? I was on a different site where a guy has his strength training routine posted, and he had Hindu Pushups listed. If anyone here has ever done them, could you please tell me if they're effective. Thanks Mike

This site http://www.cbass.com/Furey.htm has it in pictures. It doesn't surprise me the guy had lower back problems with it. I've done them before but not under that name, and it hit my lower back also. Bob

What do you mean he had back problems with them? Clarence Bass said he hurt his back when his father backed over him in the car when he was a kid, so he was leery of any bridging exercise. Clearly he's an exception to the rule. Not many people have their back out of alignment from being run over by their father by accident when they were a kid.

I've done Matt Furey's exercises, and they are very good. I'd suggest them (actually do suggest them) to anyone, except those in extremely rare situations (like serious back issues).
