Brief Medical History Overview
Exercising: Push exercise but no pulling ones?
I hope I'm ok posting this as a question to try to avoid injury as opposed to posting because of one?
I've been working out using bodyweight exercise for almost 3 months now and have seen very positive results. Mainly I've been doing between 55 and 120 press ups and the same of squat thrusts 3 times a week, plus have tried to integrate pull ups into my routine to balance out push & pull exercises and to stop any imbalance in my chest & back and arm muscles.
However, despite all of my efforts to find somewhere to do pull ups or horizontal rows, I can't find anywhere to do them without damaging our furniture or the rented house we live in.
I'm wondering whether it'd be more damaging to my body to carry on just doing press ups & squat thrusts in terms of muscle imbalance, or to stop working out completely (given that the exercise really helps combat my long-standing problems with depression)?
Thanks for any advice!
