Your nostr link is broken?

Is it? It takes me to my profile page, so I'm not sure how to troubleshoot it. I'm still pretty dumb about using nostr, though.

SN underground was here

Here's the thing, I knew that was the mistake I was making, but I didn't know how to do it right.
Cheers!

I found you on Damus. I am new to nostr as well

I didn't say I was new. I don't have a great excuse for still not knowing what I'm doing.

have been described as the Pythagoras of pushups.

What this means is that rather than performing Isoscelean pushups (both hands equally spaced out from the chest and an equal distance from the feet), they instead have mastered the more difficult Pythagorean pushup, where one hand is placed above the head, with a right angle formed between the other hand and the feet
reply
It's pretty embarrassing that the Pythagoras of pushups had never heard of Pythagorean pushups. I don't quite understand the technique as you've described it but I'll try to figure it out.
reply
I've just been trying them. So you have say the left hand a little bit below the shoulder, and the right hand, not so much above the head, but at the level of the head (but still out to the side). The angle from the right hand to the left hand and then down to the feet (taken as one point) forms a right angle. The hypotenuse is from your right hand down to the feet.
Of course, for balancing the exercise, the position of the hands should be interchanged after some number of reps.

You have no way of knowing that those sats were mine. (You probably do don't you)

I can but I don't.
You made me realize I included a grammar mistake in my message though. I already regret writing it. Here is my attempt at salvation:
