6 PRESS-UPS

-

A typical upper body exercise that’s great for building strength and endurance. When performing press-ups, watch that your elbows are not directly opposite your shoulders. Try to have them slightly below the joint line as this will take the pressure off your shoulder joints and increase activation of the lats and serratus anterior. If struggling, regress to performing the exercise on your knees or from an incline.

Example set 5 x 6-12 reps depending on strength and let the number of reps be decided by holding good technique.
