Strength Workout (SWOD) A1. 4 x 5 Weighted Push Up A2. 4 x 8 Weighted Pull Ups
A few good tips to remember when executing a pushup:
- Contract your glutes really hard – this relaxes your hip flexors and gets your pelvis into the proper position
- Keep your elbows from splaying out too wide – keep them relatively tucked in along the side of your body
- Have your feet together – this helps to maximize glute activation
- Before starting the descent, lean forward so you are more “over top” of your hands with your shoulders
- Drop your chest all the way to the ground
