๐ช Push Up Variations: Partial Range Of Motion (Day 2) -
๐ช๐ฟThis variation can be used as the next stage after the incline push up. Reducing the range of motion can help build strength if you can’t do the full range due to weakness.
-
๐ช๐ปThis is a good variation to keep tricep and shoulder strength if you are struggling with shoulder pain as it reduces the impact on the shoulder. Make sure you have your shoulder assessed by a professional if you have an injury or issue to see if it is safe to perform this movement.
-
๐ช๐ฝYes you can just do a partial without a block or ball beneath you but how do you know you are being consistent? Having an object that you touch will keep your reps honest so you aren’t doing less (or more) range than you should.
-
๐ช๐พSTEPS...
1) Place your hands slightly wider than shoulder width apart with the block or ball beneath your chest.
2) Squeeze your glutes, keep your abs tight to keep your body rigid and fix your gaze directly between your hands.
3) In a controlled manner lower your chest to the block or ball and keep your elbows tucked at a 45 degree angle to your body (imagine you are tucking something into your armpit).
4) When the chest touches the block or ball press your body upward. Don’t let the elbows flare out.
