Learn to do push ups with me!š„
This is the easiest method to learn.
Having incredible upper body strength makes working out so much more fun, boosts confidence, improves posture & technique, & makes doing daily tasks around the home so much easier!
Here is my 6 phase method I used to master push ups with the strongest technique.
1. Slow negatives on knees (5 secs to lower, repeat 10x)
2. Concentric holds on knees (hold 5 secs, repeat 10x)
3. Concentric holds knees raises (hold 5 secs, repeat 10x)
4. Slow negatives knees raises (5 secs to lower, repeat 10x)
5. Push ups on knees (to failure 3x 60 secs rest in between)
6. Full push ups (to failure 3x 60 secs rest in between)
Do this 3-4 times weekly and watch yourself progress fast.
Do one step only until youāve nailed it and ready to move on.
Important technique tips:
1. Keep elbows close to body the whole time, donāt let them flare to the sides (makes it easier but youāre not helping yourself)
2. As you push back up in the concentric part of the movement, brace your scapula & shoulders, donāt lead up with your chest puffed out
3. Donāt lock your elbows, keep them slightly bent
4. Keep glutes squeezed
5. Keep hips neutral, donāt let them sink
6. Engage your abs
