    Push-up as Lever - How Much Weight Moved?

    Thanks for the idea, nucleas. I did the same thing and got about 70% of my total weight. That could just mean I have less upper body mass than you.

    Push-up as Lever - How Much Weight Moved?

    Could you explain this to a non-technical person? It seems to me, the formula works if you are lifting the weight at the center of mass. But one is lifting at one extreme of the body. How is that factored in or how do you calcuate that? Apologies, but I'm not good with math. Thanks!
