Push Up Training Exercises for Performance

Video Transcript

"MIKE ROSENGART: Okay guys, so we're going to come from the squats and we're going to come and work on some push ups and we've got some variations for the push ups, a little different from what we're doing in the warm up. What we're going to do here, Jonesy's going to do some medicine ball push ups while Ryan is going to do some push ups using the kettlebells, just to help the range of motion in his chest. So, go ahead guys, let's get started. Okay. Again, looking to maintain that flat back as you're working so you get very much core activation. What Jonesy's doing here is that he's pushing the ball back and forth. It helps with coordination and motor skills of the upper body and also helps you work to understand how to control your balance in space and moving, dynamic balance. Ryan's doing a really good job with the kettlebells. The kettlebells are hard to do push ups on because they're very unstable. The round base can really tip a lot. So, he's making it look very easy but they are really hard. So, what we're going to do, we're going to do fifteen to twenty of these, alright? Depending on how you feel. If you feel you could do twenty, go for the twenty, if not, just go for the fifteen and we'll take it from there. Remember, you wanna--always pace yourself and see how you feel. Good. And also, if you don't have kettlebells at home, you always could take the dumbbells and do the push ups on top of the dumbbells and that will help. That will help the range of motion, okay? So, after that, we're going to go on to our next exercise, but again, grab a sip of water and watch the next clip."
