TRAINING EFFECT
The push-up is a self-
weight exercise that
is specially used to
strengthen the muscles of the
shoulders, arms and chest.
5.3 PUSH UP
Start position:
For this exercise, move the machine to the flattest
position and use the grips as push-up grips. The
head must be in line with the body when doing
a push-up, the view is directed to the floor. Now
move your body towards the floor. In order to train
the chest muscles completely, the exercise must
be performed with the greatest possible range of
motion.
Back to the starting position:
Now move your body upwards from the ground in a con-
trolled manner so that it slowly returns to its starting po-
sition.
To achieve a higher training intensity, avoid gaining momentum with your upper
body. Also, additional weights can increase the intensity.
