Tip: Push-ups

Push-ups are timeless exercises because of their value to each individual’s training. We will change the push-up variation for each week of this progression. Because the push-up acts as a very safe exercise to push to failure, you can push the intensity of this exercise each week. The shoulder raise combination will also be slightly different each week, meaning you can focus on the stimulus you are receiving each day and worry less about the progression from week to week.
