Hey CFQ. Big takeaway from today's workout, is to choose a rep scheme or scaled movement on the pushup that will allow you to progress towards doing BETTER quality pushups, not just more in less time. Make sense? When you're at the bottom of your pushup (on every rep btw), your chest should be ON the floor and there should be a small space between your thighs and the floor. Here's a link to a GREAT video to demonstrate what "Rx" pushups are. https://youtu.be/0pkjOk0EiAk?si=xpWeUZNluq_GX3Q8
Not many people can do 90 pushups that look like this in a workout, which is why it's so important to scale the reps or use a band on the rig, or a band across your chest, or do the pushups from your knees. Work towards doing this movement AS WELL as you can for success in the future.
Here's a link to pushups from your knees. Note the same great body positioning, feet stuck together and tight belly/butt, as the full-ROM pushups in the previous video. https://youtu.be/Ahf4t9ky3d8?si=eEiquRxPX4XSsoKi
Smaller sets with short breaks can also help you stay better engaged on each rep.
You can do this crew!
