If you are looking for some serious push ups to do for some serious upper body strength then you have arrived at the right place. I have included 2 sick styles below that I guarantee will transform the landscape of your upper body and push up muscles. Keep reading if I have your attention.
Push Ups For Upper Body Power!
1. One Arm Push Ups: One arm push ups are a tremendous way for you to develop a superior level of upper body power. When it comes to developing a significant amount of core strength there is nothing better than the one handed drill.
In order to execute this drill it takes practice and good sound technique. Aside from being a tremendous display of strength this drill requires complete concentration for you to have total body control. To begin this drill simply get into an upright position with your feet just "slightly" wider than shoulder width apart in length. From here take one arm off of the ground and place it behind your back. Now the next thing is hugely important. You must understand how to implement the "hollow position" in order to lock out your hips and knees. This keeps your body as rigid and straight as possible throughout the entire drill.
As you lower your body into the one arm push up you will want to keep a solid line of tension that runs diagonal from the hand on the ground across to the opposite foot. Your waist will bend a bit and your chest should touch the floor. As you ascend you will want to forcefully breathe and completely tighten your entire body. You should even grip the ground with the hand doing the pushing. Your hips and knees should remain locked and tensioned throughout the entire process.
2. Plyometric Push Ups: Plyometric push ups are another wicked way for you to generate some upper body explosiveness. This drill is fairly simple in it's explanation, but grueling in it's execution. To pull this drill off you will want to get into an upright push up position. From here you are simply going to execute a normal repetition of this drill with one exception. As you ascend up out of the movement you are going to push yourself up with enough force so that your hands elevate off of the ground. Your body should maintain rigidity and your hands should remain in the same position. As you land you should absorb the impact by descending down into the next rep to prepare you for the next explosive push! All of these should be performed in continuous succession.
If you haven't already started to implement these wicked drills for some sick upper body strength then you are missing out. Take the time to learn more by accessing more of my articles on the subject for free. Remember that most anyone can train hard, but only the best train smart!
