Different types of PushUp (part 3)

Different types of PushUps (Part 3)

   1.       Knuckle PushUp

This PushUp involves the use of the knuckles instead of the palms. 

It is convenient for people that have problems with their wrists because the wrist is basically in a neutral position. It makes the muscles do more work than the basic PushUp. It also strengthens the wrists.

Do the usual basic PushUp with the knuckles instead of the palms. 

   2.       Upper Body Elevated PushUp

Just like a Basic PushUp, place your hands on an elevated surface like a chair or a bench while your legs are on the floor. This push up is easier than the basic PushUp. The higher the plane of inclinaton, the easier it is to PushUp.

   3.       One Arm PushUp.

This PushUp is just self-explanatory. It involves the use of one arm. It is easier if the legs are spread out a little bit, to encourage balance.

This PushUp needs twice the effort of a basic PushUp for obvious reasons. It will work more on the muscles and upper body.

Don’t forget to do the same number of reps on each arm. This constitutes a set. 
 

That’s the wrap!

This doesn’t wrap it up for all the PushUp variations available, though. This is just a list of the most famous. All other variations are adaptations of the ones listed here in more or less obvious ways.

Practice the Pushups.

Hasta La Vista.
