Improve your push ups and boost your strength by learning how to do an eccentric push up! Eccentric is a way of training in which you control the lowering part of an exercise to increase your strength.
Let’s get started!
Eccentric push ups can be done on an elevated surface, on the floor, or even progressed to sus[ended push ups once you’ve moved past regular push ups.
01
Begin in the starting push up position (a full plank) with your feet together and hands just slightly outside of your shoulders. Maintain a netrual neck.
02
Keep the core engaged and a straight line as you bend the elbows backward and begin to lower toward the floor.
03
Resist the urge to move quickly and instead control the exercise against gravity as you spend 4 second lowering to the ground.
Make sure that your upper body (arms and spine) resembles an “A” at the bottom of the movement and not a “w”. Basically, don’t cock out the elbows.
