Unlock the Power Within: How Simple Pushups Can Transform Your Strength – One Rep at a Time!
You might wonder how elbow positioning can affect difficulty or joint stress. Here’s the scoop:
I’m a big fan of keeping your elbows tucked in close to your rib cage -think “narrow pushup” or “tricep pushup.” This style engages the triceps more, targets the chest in a slightly different way, and most importantly, puts less stress on your shoulders.
In fact, I teach nearly all my clients this variation. It’s a win-win for:
- Stronger arms
- Defined triceps
- Happier shoulders
Try to think about brushing your upper arms along your sides as you lower down – it may feel harder, but it’s worth it for the strength and joint protection you’ll gain.
