| Performed at: | Keshequa High School |
| Workout Name: | Push Up Benchmark #1 |
| Description: | 2 Min AMRAP Hands off floor full range of motion push ups Test of strength/endurance not power. |
| Results: | 25 reps Performed as RX |
| Warmup: | Stretch/Review Exercise Perfect Your Form While lowering your body all the way down and lifting your hands off the floor is what makes this version of the pushup different, you also want to make sure your technique for the rest of movement stays spot-on. Do just that by using the tips that follow and the graphic at the top of the page. 1. Straighten Keeping your arms straight so your hands align with your shoulders reduces stress on those critical joints. 2. Twist Driving your palms down and screwing them outward into the floor increases stability through your shoulders, neck, and upper back. Stability equals power. 3. Brace Increasing core tension boosts stability all over. Imagine someone is about to punch you in the gut. 4. Squeeze Clenching your glutes locks your hips in place, keeping your body straight from head to heels. It also takes stress off your lower back. 5. Press Holding your feet together adds muscle tension in your legs, enhancing energy transfer and power production throughout your body. |
