Is it possible to have abdominal muscle pain from doing push-ups? (When push ups have never been your thing)?

Yes

I cant tell if its from push ups or what..ugh. hurts when i press on it

You might die ...

You must not have done any ab work in awhile. It’ll pass, has happened to me.

As long as the pain is in the muscles; if it’s internal that’s a diff story

I do a pretty decent amount of push-ups (and also in the army) and can't say I have ever had this (female, pretty good shape). That being said, you might just be sore from shocking your body into a workout it doesn't usually do. Also, make sure you engage your core while performing the push-ups. Keep a straight back and almost suck in to keep your core solid.

If you’re doing push-ups correctly, you are using your core for stability. So yes, you should be experiencing some abdominal soreness if you don’t normally engage your core often. I experience this when I run even...

Associate in the NY office of a magic circle firm.

I just get told I’m doing a “good job” but I’m pretty sure that’s just because no one is looking. Is the expectation just to magically figure out how to get things done solo, even if it’s the first time to do it? Is it better at NY-HQ firms that have more resources?

Have any of you used this while pregnant and it turned out fine? Any other insights that can give me some peace of mind? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
