IntroductionHey everyone, Coach Chad here from KCFITCLUB! I’m excited to share with you a fantastic exercise that’s perfect for beginners and anyone looking to improve their push-up technique. Today, we’re going to dive into the Modified Push-Up using an adjustable squat rack. This variation is incredibly effective for building upper body strength and honing your push-up form. Why Choose Modified Push-Ups?Modified push-ups are a great way to ease into the traditional push-up if you're just starting out or if you need a less intense version to perfect your form. Using an adjustable squat rack allows you to control the angle and intensity of the exercise, making it adaptable to all fitness levels. What You’ll Need
Step-by-Step Guide to the Modified Push-Up 1.Set Up the Barbell Start by adjusting the squat rack so that the barbell is at a suitable height. Remember, the higher the bar, the easier the push-up will be. This adjustability makes it an excellent tool for gradually increasing the difficulty as you get stronger. 2. Hand Placement Place your hands on the bar, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. This placement helps ensure that you engage the right muscles and maintain balance. 3. Body Position Step back until your body forms a straight line from your head to your heels. Engage your core and ensure your body is rigid. This position is crucial for maintaining proper form and preventing injury. 4. Lowering Phase end your elbows and lower your chest towards the bar. Keep your elbows at a 45-degree angle to your body. Lower yourself in a controlled manner to maximize muscle engagement and avoid strain. 5. Pushing Phase Push through your palms to return to the starting position. Focus on controlled, steady movements to maintain form and prevent injury. Keep your core engaged throughout the movement. Tips for Success
