Welcome to "Why We Don't Love Knee Push-ups & What To Do Instead" (: When doing Knee Push/Ups, there isn’t really any way to increase or decrease difficulty and progress them over time, so we might get a little stronger … But we’re not really working towards getting “real” push-ups over time. I love having people modifying push-ups by doing them to an elevated surface, such as a barbell on a squat rack (or a tall box, bench, etc). The taller the bar height, the easier the movement. The lower the bar height, the more difficult the movement becomes. Start at a taller height that is difficult but doable — and then over time, you can lower the height of the barbell as you get stronger and stronger. If you're consistent and practice these 2-3x a week, you'll have floor push-ups in no time! ---- ▹ Follow Me on Instagram: ‣ http://instagram.com/lauriechristineking ▹ My Website & Blog: ‣ https://www.lauriechristineking.com ▹ Our Workouts & Online Fitness Community: Paragon Training Methods ‣ http://instagram.com/paragontrainingmethods ‣ https://www.paragontrainingmethods.com ▹ My Nutrition Ebook: ‣ The Ultimate Guide to Nutrition, Muscle Gain, & Fat Loss ‣ https://strongxwellfed.com ▹ StrongxWell-Fed Apparel & Merch ‣ https://strongxwellfed.com
Need a Way to Make Push-Ups More Difficult? This video is for you. All you'll need is a bumper plate. I have gym trust issues, so forever miss me on using a dip belt with weights during my workouts - lawd knows I’m going to pinch a leg or lose a toe. With this variation, you’ll take a bumper plate up and over head… and then wiggle wiggle wiggle. Generally I find that I will place it on my back, lower to the floor, scoot the plate down again just a lil bit lower, and then I’m good to go. If riding solo, it can be difficult to get tons of weight on your back. You could also use a buddy to stack the plates on your back for you. As always, make sure chest touches the floor each rep, elbows are staying by sides, and body is moving as one with booty squeezed + core engaged. ----- ▹ Follow Me on Instagram: ‣ http://instagram.com/lauriechristineking ▹ My Website & Blog: ‣ https://www.lauriechristineking.com ▹ Our Workouts & Online Fitness Community: Paragon Training Methods ‣ http://instagram.com/paragontrainingmethods ‣ https://www.paragontrainingmethods.com ▹ My Nutrition Ebook: ‣ The Ultimate Guide to Nutrition, Muscle Gain, & Fat Loss ‣ https://strongxwellfed.com ▹ StrongxWell-Fed Apparel & Merch ‣ https://strongxwellfed.com
Tips for Better Push-ups: • hands just outside of shoulders • core and glutes squeezed • body stiff as a board • raise and lower with control • elbows stay close to body (not out wide in a “T”) Don’t have floor push-ups yet? My favorite modification is the Hands-Elevated Push-up to a barbell on a squat rack. Knee Push-ups aren’t my fave as there’s no way to increase difficulty or progress them over time. By doing them to a barbell on a rig, you can lower the barbell each week over time to eventually work your way to floor push-ups. ---- ▹ Follow Me on Instagram: ‣ http://instagram.com/lauriechristineking ▹ My Website & Blog: ‣ https://www.lauriechristineking.com ▹ Our Workouts & Online Fitness Community: Paragon Training Methods ‣ http://instagram.com/paragontrainingmethods ‣ https://www.paragontrainingmethods.com ▹ My Nutrition Ebook: ‣ The Ultimate Guide to Nutrition, Muscle Gain, & Fat Loss ‣ https://strongxwellfed.com ▹ StrongxWell-Fed Apparel & Merch ‣ https://strongxwellfed.com
