How I Went from 5 to 50 Push-Ups in a Row: Real Results with the Clingman Press Frame

By Chase Clingman

Published: Monday, April 7th, 2025

Push-ups aren’t just a warm-up—they’re a benchmark for upper body strength, endurance, and control. They hit the chest, shoulders, triceps, and core in one fluid movement. But if you’re doing the same push-up every day, you’ll hit a plateau fast.

That’s why progress requires:

1. Proper form

2. Strategic variation

3. Consistent training

The Clingman Press Frame makes all three simple.

💬 “The Press Frame has really helped me target the areas I want to focus on. As a pitcher in baseball, there are specific muscles I need to hone in on, and this frame allows me to do just that. I also have some wrist pain, so the handles are perfect—I don’t have to put my hands flat on the floor and absorb all that pressure.”
— Jude Scavone, 18, Baseball Pitcher

🎯 Targeted Muscle Activation

Hit chest, triceps, shoulders, and more with pinpoint precision—just move the handles to train exactly where you want.
⏱️ Quick, Effective Workouts

Transform your upper body in under 15 minutes a day—no gym, no fluff, just results.
🤲 Wrist-Friendly, Injury-Preventing Design

Ergonomic angled handles reduce strain on wrists while improving push-up form and control.

How the Clingman Press Frame Changed the Game

A regular push-up gives you one angle. The Clingman Press Frame gives you multiple targeted muscle positions, so you’re always working different angles—and improving faster.

It’s also wrist-friendly, space-efficient, and beginner-to-advanced friendly.

💬 “I’ve got a jam-packed schedule running my pizza shop, and being able to hit the Press Frame at home when I have time is super convenient and effective. I used to model and surf, so I care about staying in shape—but sometimes I’m unsure how to strengthen one specific muscle. This board literally shows you where to place the handles, and then boom—it’s only progress from there.”
— David Bunzell, 49, Pizza Shop Owner, Retired Model & Surfer

And for people grinding in high-performance careers, the Press Frame doubles as a mental reset tool.

💬 “In between study sessions, when I need a brain break, I grab my Press Frame and take a mindful workout. It helps me reset and stay focused. Exercise boosts memory and cognitive function—and using the board keeps my form clean so I’m not wasting effort.”
— Jordan Walter, 23, Aspiring Lawyer

Mistakes to Avoid

Sacrificing form for reps – Stick to clean push-ups. The Press Frame helps keep your posture in check.

Overtraining – Muscles grow when you rest. Don’t go all out every day.

Neglecting variety – Change up handle positions every week to stimulate new growth.

Skipping pulling movements – Complement your push-up work with rows or band pulls to stay balanced.
