ECCENTRIC MILITARY PUSH-UPS

This is an alternative version of the CONVENTIONAL PUSH UP exercise. This is also an eccentric version of the military push up to increase muscle and tendon time under tension. A normal tempo can be used depending on your exercise goals. For this version, your arms will be tucked next to your torso with your wrist positioned directly below the elbow at the bottom position of the push up. Proceed by extending the elbow and flexion the shoulder to reach the top hold position. Slowly lower the body back down to the ground at a 5 second tempo. Repeat as required.
