#EnkiriEliteFitness #Pushups #Calisthenics
If you need to add some extra weight to your pushups but you don't have access to a weight vest or other traditional loading methods, don't just put a weight plate on your back and call it a day. Instead try using a hexagonal dumbbell! The bell is easy enough to get onto your back by yourself, most gyms have full sets of these dumbbells in 5 pound increments which makes progressively loading the movement a cinch, and the shape of the implement makes it so that it rests nicely between the shoulder blades while you knock out your reps. With that, it also doesn't impede scapular movement the same way that a weight plate on your back does, meaning the shoulder blades can protract and retract freely during pushup performance, which is one of the major benefits of consistently doing pushups in the first place. As always be sure to move through a full range of motion here, and try incorporating some pauses in the deepest position for a different challenge as well. When you're finished with your set just roll the dumbbell off of your back and you'll be good to go. Best of luck with your training guys!
