Resistance band push ups

Push-Ups with Exercise Bands are a great variation of the classic push-up that provides extra resistance and activates the chest muscles , shoulders and triceps even more. The use of training tights provides increased resistance when you push yourself upwards, which helps to build strength and muscle mass in the upper body.

Correct Execution and Technique

How to perform Push-Ups with Training Knits with the correct technique:

  1. Place the exercise band over your upper back and grasp each end of the band with your hands. Make sure the elastic is flat without twists.
  2. Place your hands on the floor slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and assume a plank position with your body in a straight line from head to heels.
  3. Inhale as you lower your chest toward the floor, keeping your elbows at a 45-degree angle to your body.
  4. Exhale as you press up to the starting position, against the resistance of the rubber band. Keep your core engaged to maintain a stable position.

The band provides extra resistance when you push yourself up, which increases muscle activation in the upper body. Focus on a smooth and controlled movement.

Common Errors

To maximize effectiveness and avoid injury, avoid these common mistakes during Push-Ups with Exercise Bands :

  • Too high hip position: Keep your body in a straight line. Avoid lifting the hips too high, as this reduces the activation of the core.
  • Inadequate elbow angle: Do not let your elbows point straight out to the sides, as this can strain the shoulders. Keep your elbows at a 45-degree angle.
  • Lack of control: Make sure to perform the movement slowly and controlled, and don't let the elastic "bounce" you back up.

Modifications and Variations

Here are some variations of Push-Ups with Exercise Bandage to adjust the intensity:

  • Knee Push-Ups with Exercise Bands: Perform the exercise on your knees for less resistance, which can be helpful for beginners.
  • Narrow Push-Ups with Exercise Bands: Place your hands closer together to put more emphasis on the triceps.
  • Explosive Push-Ups: Perform the movement explosively, push yourself up as quickly as you can against the resistance of the rubber band for increased power and explosiveness.

Number of Sets and Repetitions

To build strength and endurance, it is recommended to perform 3-4 sets of 10-15 repetitions . Adjust the resistance of the elastic to your level to ensure good technique throughout the exercise.

Breathing technique

For better control and stability, inhale as you lower to the floor, and exhale as you push up to the starting position. This will help you maintain strength and focus.
