BEST CHEST MOVES FOR TENNIS
Traditional push ups are momentum based – simply counting reps – up and down. PRECISION based reps with ZERO MOMENTUM maximize your chest, core and race your heart! NEVER EVER GO TO FAILURE ON ANY MOVE – EVER! Think about it logically – FORM is the first thing to go when fatigue sets in which can be very dangerous to the spine. LESS IS ALWAYS ALWAYS MORE.
PUSH UP FLEX Normal push ups count 1, 2, 3 versus maximizing the benefit from EACH push up. Stay in perfect sync with me as positioning is key. 1. Wide elbows to work your pecs (narrow is triceps). 2. Keep pelvic tilt and maximize glute FLEX to really work your core and race your HEART! 3. FLEX, SQUEEZE + BREATHE.
