Safety
squat: 10 sets of 3 reps – going deep as
possible and speed in extention.
2-KB
clean and press.
Battling
ropes for cool down.
I
do a fair number of push-ups during the week and try to vary the styles to
prevent overuse. One style I used in mass, was closed fist push-up in my
martial arts days. We would do them on a hard floor with no padding to make our
knuckles hard and callused. The down side of “fist push-up” is calcium in the
knuckles if you are not going to use bricks for punching bags.
40 years later I still have some of
that build in my knuckles today so it’s not big issue for me, however if you
don’t want to disfigure you hands you may want to do fist pushups on a padded area or bag gloves. The
advantage to this type of push-up is increased activation of the
bradiosradialis and extensors you don’t get when you open palm pushups. Try
them ever so often and you will avoid the shoulder impingement issues from wide
flared open hand push-ups.
