Well done dude, have a look at deficit push ups, it's where your hands are raised off the ground slightly (on blocks or bricks or whatever you have) which allows your chest to travel past ur hands in the down position, allowing for a deeper stretch of the muscle, once you've mastered these the standard push-up will feel much easier. There's quite abit of science now showing the deep stretch is what stimulates muscle growth the most.

That’s a good idea. I used to do that with dumbbells for the added couple inches. I’ll start doing that again, I only work out at home with dumbbells.

I do diamond, pike and archer pushups - with less repetitions since they're harder.
regular pushups I can hit 35
Ive become a big fan of calisthenics lately

+1 I'm hitting the bars in the park regularly now. I must say it's a very good workout.
My arms, back and shoulders are getting a good workout without having to spend much time
I can also work my abs with leg raises and then I go jogging for some cardio. Pretty based workout.

If gyms are getting you where you want to go , cool. It beats the hell out of sitting on your ass all day. Here, we say, " Move or die. " ( especially when ya start to get older ). I prefer the outdoors to get that body-hit. I also ensure that the exercise is just a bonus. All my exercise is the byproduct of outdoor activities that are f'ing fun.....X-crossing , ice-skating,ells like a dirty under ware clothes hamper. Oh yea, everything is covered with cooties ( solids, liquids and particulate).I'm not anti-gym . It's just that my gag-reflex has a very low threshold. Body building chews up a lot of f'ing time and energy. Hope you are having f'ing fun and getting to where you want to go.

Oh that fresh air ! As far as cold, I know if your moving and grooving you don't get cold. I've been out sub-sub weather a million times.never got cold, even worked up a sweat. I prefer the cold. It's so stimulating. Keep moving stoner dude, lethargy is a killer.Been working out today, the usual training in the park and some jogging.
Getting a little cold out there, but it was still enjoyable.

Yes sir, a little warm-up and you're pretty much good to go.
I do perform better in cooler temperatures, so yea I also start to prefer it to the summer heat.
