Resisted Standard Push Up
Area Targeted:
Middle Chest
Set up:
Anchor Position:
Not required.
Clip Bands & Handle Bands:
Wrap the band(s) around your body so that the band(s) are around
your back.
Body Positioning:
Lay on the floor and place your palms over the band(s), on each side,
so that there is no slack. Your hands should be about 20 inches apart with fingers pointed
overhead. Keep your back straight, legs straight and head straight.
Movement:
Push your entire body off the floor until your arms are almost totally straight. While
controlling the resistance, return to the starting position. Repeat.
Points To Remember:
1.
Do not let your buttocks push up or sag down during the movement. Your body should be
straight, like a board from your head to your feet.
2.
When you lower your body, stop when your upper arms are parallel with the floor.
