Improving Your Upper Body and Low Body Strengthen

Push-up Techniques

Speed up the push-up!

For maximum push-up, do the push-ups as quickly as you possible can. When performing a slower push-up, the gravity will affect your strength. But remember to always maintain proper form.

Proper Form: Your hands should be shoulder width apart with hands even with your shoulders. Placing your hands too high or too low will cause weakness.

The Super Set is one of the best ways to increase your push-ups, but while you "rest" your upper body, you can also improve your wall-sit.

Push-Up/Wall-Sit Super Set

Do 4 to 8 Sets:

• Regular push-ups to failure
• Wall-Sit to failure
• Regular push-ups, reps 20 to 30
• Wall-Sit to failure
• Regular push-ups, reps  10 to 15
• Wall-Sit to failure
