Really, the difference between the two is slight, but meaningful. Just mix it up in your training. | ||

For example, gorillas move around on 4 legs using their knuckles instead of open palms. As a result older gorillas, like oov, have ruined the nimbleness of their fingers and can't play starcraft properly. You need to get a pair of those push up bars to save your wrists and fingers. | ||

HHAHA like oov. i believe knuckles provides a wider range of motion, meaning you can go down a bit further. | ||

I'm sure there are other differences but they are all minor, do which one you like more and/or mix it up. I personally don't do them because my hands get enough trauma from working out every day and I need to have steady/healthy gaming hands at all times. | ||

Also doing push ups on your fists is more bad ass. Edit: Then again, you probably don't have a wife.  | ||

Long story short, it keeps my wrists intact; I've also been doing them like this most of my life due to Taekwondo so it's just something I'm used to :p | ||

so the pushup is harder real men do em on the back of their hands (don't actually do it unless you have very strong wrists, you'll hurt yourself) | ||
