Hindu Pushups...good or bad?

[yak sao]

I've heard that Hindu push ups are bad for your rotator cuff? Anyone know the scoop?

I have not heard that at all man. I picked them up from my dad and uncle when I was a kid and it's one of my preferred excersizes. I have yet to have a problem with them. Plus, they integrate with a yoga routine really well.

The only side effect I've had with them is a strange and overwhelming desire to eat curry.

Thanks,

I've done them for years, but lately I've had a nagging shoulder problem and I was wondering if they were the culprit.

Muscular pain or joint pain? One may be a problem, the other just may mean your have to get stronger in another range of motion.

I have never had a problem from them either.

Never had a problem with them myself but I would get checked out by a doctor if the pain persists.
