New Spin on Old Build Muscle Push Up |
| 4/9/2009 7:13:35 PM |
 The push up is an age old exercise. It utilizes personal body weight to help build arm, chest and shoulder strength. Instead of sticking with the standard, arms shoulder width apart technique I wanted to give instruction on how to tweak this simple routine to focus on different areas of the body to help build muscle and increase well being. Daily intake of vitamins minerals and antioxidants is recommended as well. They will help build energy and keep the immune system strong so you can continue to build muscle at home.
- Backwards Inverted Push Up: For this one you will need a chair. Start by sitting on the ground, legs straight and full extended with the chair directly to your back. Bring both palms up and back so they are resting on the edge of the chair seat then lift yourself up. At this point, your butt should be a few inches higher than the chair seat with your arms fully extended. Compress the arms, lowering yourself below the chair (see picture of creepy old guy) holding for a second, raise and repeat.
