Liegestütz ► narrow push up

Individual work

In the push-up position, bend and stretch your arms (lower and raise your upper body), resting your arms on the balls of your fists. In the deep push-up position, the elbows are at the side of the body (no outward movement of the elbows).

Attention:
Do not have a hollow back and bend the elbows at an angle of approx. 45° from the upper body ("A" shape with the arms). The shoulders are fixed and pulled down towards the hips.

Lighten:
Place your knees on the floor (feet held high); lower your upper body less (arms barely bent); support your arms on a raised surface.

Harden:
Additional weight (on your back); place your legs on a raised surface; unstable surface for your arms and/or legs.
