Push Away from James Glinn on Vimeo.
Required Equipment
|
- A wall or firm platform to “push” from.
|
Starting Position
|
- With a neutral trunk, place arms approximately shoulder width apart against a firm wall or other platform.
|
Procedure
|
- The movement is similar to the “push up” but is done from a height that allows the “push up” movement to be achieved. You will lower yourself to the firm surface and then “Push away” from the surface.
|
Coaching Keys
|
- Keep your trunk straight. If you are having trouble keeping your trunk straight then use a taller platform.
|
How It Should Feel
|
- This derivative of the push up should feel as if you are slowly lowering yourself towards the wall or platform and then “pushing away.”
