< strong>How to increase strength with push-ups? Elastic band assistance!
Push-ups are one of the most classic training movements in the world! It can train our upper limb muscles (chest muscles, anterior deltoid muscles, triceps) very well. It is also a great core strength training action. During the action, you need to use the core muscles to maintain the stability and neutrality of the spine and pelvis. !
But push-ups have a very obvious shortcoming, which is the lack of intensity and resistance to their own body weight. For most fitness men, it is an action that can be done many times
I will give it to you today Introducing a good method to help you improve the strength of push-ups
Resistance band push-ups !
The elastic band is a very useful fitness tool, convenient, affordable and easy to store
1.Using elastic bands to perform push-ups can very well help you increase your training intensity. At the same time, the resistance provided by the elastic bands is a kind of variable resistance!
Generally speaking, the most difficult point to exert force in push-ups is the rising position at the bottom! (Difficult point)
When the elastic band is at the bottom of the movement, the load is the smallest. As the body is supported, the resistance of the elastic band becomes greater and greater! Thiswill help you overcome this“Sticking Point",Then, when this point is exceeded, the tension (resistance) of the elastic band also begins to increase, allowing for optimal muscle training efficiency.
2. At the same time, elastic band push-ups will also challenge your eccentric control. The unique resistance of the elastic band will produce greater "eccentric speed", which forces you to use greater strength to move your body. Lower slowly and steadily. This is also what leads to increased explosive power and strength development.
As shown in the picture: Choose an elastic band with appropriate resistance! Then Wrap it around the back with both hands, and be careful not to wrap it too tightly
After wrapping Start doing push-ups, just like traditional push-ups! Keep your upper arms and torso at about 45 degrees, don't abduct too much, and tighten your core muscles into a straight line (don't hunch your back, don't collapse your waist, don't lift your butt)! >
There is one important point to remember during the movement: the resistance of the elastic band will accelerate the centrifugal speed, so you must control the centrifugal stage, slow down, and don’t fall freely
