Pushups are hard! 😮💨
But progressing these three exercises will help you get there. 💪
1. Elevated Pushup
Increase the angle of the pushup, using a countertop, table, or in this case a barbell on a rack. Lower the elevated surface as they get easier.
2. Modified Pushup
Go on your hands and knees, and keep your body straight for this one. Being on the knees will decrease the load and allow you to train the movement.
3. Pushup Negatives
Lower yourself using a regular pushup position, and then use a modified pushup to get back up. This gradually trains the easier part of the movement.
Once you can do all of these with ease, you will be ready for regular pushups!
