Pool Etiquette? Push Ups

Bill-e

Hi there,

Due to time restrictions I can't go to the gym then the pool at my lunch time. All I want to do is a few sets of push-ups. Would it be un cool to do these near the pool?
I wouldn't be in anyone's way or anything. I would also shower before going into the pool...

They can be done anywhere though so why the need to do them in the pool area?

It will look weird but im sure no 1 will say anything.

It would look very uncool but then I suppose one doesn't go to the gym to look cool. Well... most don't.

I still wouldn't do pushups by the pool

Just don't wear speedos while doing it ^

I would be most worried about the fact that it's going to be slippy around the pool, I imagine it would be fairly easy for your hand to slip and then crack your head

the gym/pool probably wouldn't be too happy with it for insurance reasons

you could just do the pushups at home in the morning/evening

I'd be more worried about getting a verruca on the palm of the hand! :eek:

Just do the pushups at home/before having a shower once you're finished in the pool.

Last time I was in a pool I did muscleups on the bar, like trying to get out of the water, good to practise the transition point.

tried to find a video and found this!

why do extra push ups when all too often guys have upper bodies that are so tight it makes the chest look smaller as the shoulders get pulled forward. Whats your gym workout?
