How to learn to do my first push ups without losing hope? I would add that in addition to the above, you can also try assisted push-ups from your knees. |

How to integrate box squat to my weekly leg workout Not quite sure what the rest of your week looks like, but I would do the following: normal squat day 1 + day 2, then box squat day 3. In fact, I would dedicate the entire day 3 to explosive or power movements. |

Optimal strategy for “4min pushup test” @VPeric I hit 120 with 5-10s left and essentially passed out from exhaustion. My reasoning is exactly as I described in the answer: my body is trained for high intensity high rest workouts. I lift big, then I rest big. I don't train my body to function under short rest intervals like in HIIT, so I choose to make the rest volume high where I felt it would help me the most. As for structuring the actual program, that depends entirely on your ability to know your limits. I know how many push ups I can do, and have a general idea how many I can do when exhausted, so thats the structure I used. |

Exercises that make the 'Core' strong +1 This is especially good exercise. I will add: make sure you have a spotter when starting out doing exercises that challenge your balancing via bosu, ball, or single leg. Bonus points if the spotter is a PT who can make sure you are using correct form. |

Stronglifts 5v5 : Where do I go from here? Does the conjugate method also have something that targets the upper back or shoulders, or is it just box squats, deadlifts, and bench press? |

Going from training 3 days/week to 4 days/week Like @Trungmanator said, it is very difficult to answer this question as is. For instance you said you are concerned with overtraining muscles. Without knowing what your workout routine is, we cannot gauge whether or not that will be an issue. |

Are there good cardio workouts which do NOT stress the knees? @DavidR Rowing machines do because it requires your knees to bend and push out as you extend the row. Canoes are fine, though very impractical. |

Are there good cardio workouts which do NOT stress the knees? @GetFitChimp If Jeff chooses not to heed my doctor warning, then that is his decision to make. Life is all about risk analysis; even jumping during basketball can cause massive injury. But by not giving him any advice for fear that he might hurt himself, you end up with scenarios where Jeff simply continues with exercises he already knows--like running--which are definitively Bad Exercises. I'm not saying my exercises will be perfect, but they are far less likely to exacerbate an injury, and they allow Jeff to have a more informed conversation with his doctor when discussing rehab exercise. |

Are there good cardio workouts which do NOT stress the knees? @GetFitChimp it is precisely for the reason that we don't know that we must recommend these things. Specifically, all we have to go on is that Jeff needs low-impact knee exercises, and the ones I recommend all fulfill that request. Are there exercises that might aggravate Jeff's specific problem? Perhaps, but all we can do is give him possibilities, advise strongly to see a doctor, and tell him to stop immediately if the exercise does aggravate the injury. Ideally, Jeff will take this list of exercises with him to the doctor and get clearance on which would be best for his specific injury. |
