From the Iron to the Perfect Technique
Do you experience shoulder discomfort when doing push-ups? Are you unable to lower yourself completely, or do you feel your hips sagging? Wide, narrow, or at a 45° angle? Which is best?
In this practical workshop at La Guarida, we're going to break the myths about the lizard so you can learn to push with maximum strength and zero pain.
What you will learn
The plank. How to activate your core, glutes, and back so that your body lowers rigidly, as one piece.
Anatomy of the push. Why the arrow position is much gentler on the joints than the T-position.
Variations. When to use an open grip and when to use a close grip, depending on the goal: chest or triceps.
Progressions. How to achieve your first strict push-up on the floor, or master volume.
