Awesome!

[gggeeh]

wanna ask if when doing push-ups, should the position of the hands be knuckle first instead of palm, as it is better for the wrists?

but then the knuckles position hurts...

pls advise

Thank you.

@gggeeh Knuckles facing down is probably easier for your wrist joints and if you use some kind of mat it shouldn't hurt that much. If you don't have any preexisting wrist injuries - palms facing down shouldn't cause any problems either. Both variations are good because they exercise your muscles in slightly different ways.
