For those doing my Mat Movement workouts with me here and who are struggling with all the push-ups, here is a great article I wanted to share with you that I wrote for Breaking Muscle Magazine a while back. It is a step by step progression to get you super strong for push-ups. Push-ups are an excellent exercise because a strong core is required in order to execute them properly. Often it's not the upper body that is weak, it's the core. A strong push up helps you frame much more effectively in BJJ and good framing is essential to stop your opponent from closing the space and securing side control - for those BJJ athletes.
Have a read of this article and enjoy the progressions. In the end, I guide you to some really advanced push-up options. I wanna know who can do the ones on the ball!!!
