Triple-Stop Pushup

Triple-Stop Pushup

Triple-Stop Pushup is a great upper body workout that provides strength and endurance. It primarily targets the triceps, shoulders, and pectoral muscles. Incorporating the brief pauses in the exercise stimulates muscle growth and helps stabilize weak points.

Instructions

  1. Get into a standard push-up position with your arms slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your arms fully extended.
  2. Keeping your core tight, slowly lower your body to the floor as if you were doing a regular push-up. Instead of sinking all the way to the floor in one motion, take a short break halfway to the floor.
  3. Continue pushing up, again pausing briefly at the bottom of the movement. Returning to the beginning, again stop halfway.

Tips

  • Avoid shifting hips. Instead, keep your core tight and your back straight throughout the movement.
