Core and shoulder muscles, foundation for proper push-ups
Push-ups seem to only require a strong arm, but the truth is more complicated. To do the right thing, the body must coordinate with many muscle groups: chest, shoulders, tricuspid muscles and especially core muscles. When the mid- than is weak, you will easily have back Nghia, loss of balance and cannot complete the movement.
A healthy core is the foundation for all movement, says Dr. Stuart McGill, a mechanical engineering student at the University of Waterloo ( Canada). In push-ups, it is like a bridge connecting force from the lower body to the upper body".
Plank is a simple but effective exercise to build core strength. Just hold the plank position 3060 seconds high, you will practice the necessary stability. Next, try touching your shoulders in a plank position, raise your right hand to touch your left shoulder and then switch sides. This exercise forces both the core and shoulders to work more, helping you maintain better balance.
Chest and Triangle Muscles, the Key to Lifting the Body
If your chest is weak, you can hardly push your body up. Weight chest pressing exercises are an effective solution. Lying on your back, holding dumbbells up and down, you will focus on developing chest strength without having to bear the entire body weight.
The Threads and the Rear Arms are equally important. Many people trembled when they were almost finished push-ups because this muscle group was not strong enough. A simple exercise is to insert the tricuspid on the chair: sit on the edge of the chair, support your arms, slide your hips down and lower yourself, then push up. This exercise helps you lock the end of each push-up.
Finally, if it is still too difficult, start with side-push-ups. Just place your hands on a table or wall, you will reduce the weight that needs to be lifted, but your muscles will still be trained similarly. As you get used to it, lower your slope to get closer to the standard push-ups.
Coach Mukul Nagpaul, founder of Pmftraining (India), shared: Lets start at the right level. Just persevere, the body will adapt and you will be able to resist pushing the standard".
Push-ups are not only a test of arm strength, but also an overall test of the body. With plank, shoulder touching, chest press, tricuspid and side push-ups, you will build a solid foundation to soon perform a complete push-up. The important thing is to be patient and maintain a regular exercise routine.
