CHEST
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.
