Push-ups between supports - a basic fitness and bodybuilding exercise that includes almost everything shoulder girdle muscles. A significant advantage of this exercise is that it simplicity, ease execution and availability. You can easily perform this press at home using any available furniture. For example, for the legs - a sofa or chair, and for the arms - a kitchen stool or chair.
In its methodology and mechanics of processes, this exercise is almost identical to push-ups. The only difference is different angle of inclination housing and accordingly impact on the muscles. Therefore, it makes no sense to dwell on it for a long time.
Push-ups between the benches are very effective for the final “pumping up” of your triceps, due to the fact that it has a more local and narrowly targeted effect on it than the same push-ups on the uneven bars.
The technology of execution is identical to other bench press exercises:
- Firmly and securely grasp the support with your hands,
- Raise your legs to any elevation at the same level as your arms or higher.
- When rising, exhale sharply,
- As you lower, inhale gradually
- At the end point, pause for two to three seconds.
- We do the negative stage of the exercise (pushing down) three times longer than the positive stage (pressing up).
- We use various options for support grips to connect the forearms.
We use various additional weighting agents:
- Weight vests,
- Weight belts,
- Backpacks with additional cargo,
- Partner's weight.
