Elbow Reverse Push-Up
How to Do:
- Starting Position: Place two flat benches parallel to each other. Sit between the benches and rest your elbows on each bench, palms facing down for support.
- Form: Lift your body by pressing down with your elbows, keeping your core engaged and your back straight. Dip down by bending your elbows slightly, then push back up to the starting position.
- Return: Lower your body in a controlled manner, stopping just before your elbows fully extend.
Benefits:
The elbow reverse push-up targets the triceps, rear deltoids, and upper back, engaging muscles crucial for shoulder stability and arm strength. It also enhances core stability as you work to balance between the benches. This exercise is a unique and effective way to build upper body endurance and control without relying on hand strength, making it suitable for athletes focusing on shoulder stability and muscle isolation.
