Using Static-Dynamic PUSH-UPS to Improve Strength

Effective Push-up Method Improves Maximum Repetitions

Previously we covered the specifics of Static (Isometric) muscle action and its effectiveness in strengthening the joint at the angle during the push-up exercise where the participant lifts the most weight. We identified that by holding the Static muscle action at the angle in the down position (right before ascending), the individual may strengthen the […]

Isometric (Static) Push-ups Improve Muscle Endurance

Isometric Push-ups Produce Muscle Tension

Previously we covered the three major muscle actions that are common for improving muscular endurance during a push-up. They are Concentric (overcoming a load or raising the body from the down position), Eccentric (slowing down a load or lowering the body slowly to the down position) and Isometric (holding the load at a desired position).
