Hello, David Weck right here. In the present day, I’ll train you essentially the most highly effective productive push up on the planet utilizing the BOSU Elite [Balance Training]. It is known as the Compression Push Up. The bottom line is the agency dome of the BOSU Elite that offers us the resistance to develop this centerline energy. Not linear energy, however centerline energy. This has super purposeful carry over to operating, to bench urgent (it is a primer for bench urgent), and to sports activities (soccer, or something the place you need to be sturdy on the within). If you consider the pectoralis muscle, it begins ‘right here,’ and inserts ‘right here,’ and because it flexes, there is a centerline impact. It isn’t a linear scenario.
So, here is how we carry out this motion: You are going to use the heels of your fingers, and you are going to place them proper on the Energy Line. The Energy Line is numbered so you are going to have the ability to reference that particular spot that works finest for you relying upon your measurement and what matches you finest. So, you are going to place the heel of your hand proper on the road, and you are going to start within the backside place. My fingers are unweighted within the backside place. Now, the compression is the important thing to this. I’m compressing inward, and I am attempting to pop the BOSU Ball which brings my weight off the dome of my chest, and now I am compressing it as onerous as I can. You wish to assume by way of a centerline compression, so that you’re focusing on compressing proper to the valve housing, proper right here is the place you are focusing on. It is the middle of this circle (or half dome). It is the middle of it the place your intent is. This creates this elastic isometric motion that offers you super pressure, and also you get out of it what you place into it. That is why it is so efficient for everybody.
So, you place it appropriately. Heel of the hand on the Energy Line. You’ve got bought your numbers. You begin within the backside, and also you compress in as onerous as you presumably can by way of the heels of the fingers, and then you definately go very slowly up, by no means releasing that inward strain. Then, you come down, by no means launch the inward strain. Come up, you possibly can fluctuate how broad the elbows are. You seat these shoulders, and also you drive inward, by no means shedding the intent of that compression inward. Make it your intent to pop that BOSU Elite. It’ll by no means occur, it is tremendous sturdy, however you wish to actually compress. [Body Mechanics].
The badge of honor on the finish of that train is the honeycomb impression that you should have by way of the heels of your fingers from that Energy Zone designed space. You are pushing with super pressure ‘this’ manner. Now, if you happen to’re a runner, what you are able to do, is you possibly can stand up, and you should use that centerline energy to learn to cycle the arms. Operating just isn’t linear, the motion just isn’t linear. You’ll really feel a definite skill to essentially pump the arms with larger energy and coordination from that push up [Proper Running Techniques]. You’ll be able to change the vector or the angle by elevating the toes as much as create extra of an incline, or elevating the BOSU as much as create extra of a decline. So, you possibly can are available in ‘right here,’ elbows in good and tight to the physique (I am nonetheless compressing in as onerous as I can), compressing in, and it is centerline energy. What you may discover, is the strain if you’re down low is on the lateral side of the heel of the hand, and as you come up increased, the strain will shift inside, the remedial a part of the palm. However, it is nonetheless at all times that inward spiraling connection that offers you an unbelievable coaching impact. We use this as our staple higher physique compressing motion on the WeckMethod laboratory and Efficiency Coaching Middle, and we get super outcomes with it.
So, here is the way you incorporate this: You assume in phrases between 5-10 repetitions, and also you reinforce that you simply do it very slowly. So, you possibly can rely to 4 on the best way up, rely to 4 on the best way down (one, one thousand, two, one thousand, three, one thousand, and so on.). That pace, and no sooner. Actually go gradual, and make it your entire intent to crush inward with that compression and strain. You may do 3-5 units of that, and you’ll really feel a direct impact the place you’re feeling this skill to essentially pump the arms with super energy. If you wish to use it to prime a bench press for instance, then you possibly can simply are available in and compress, compress, compress, after which come out, and do your bench press. A extremely sturdy bench press includes this cue to bend and break the bar, and what this does, is that this helps you seat it to the middle, after which bend and break, spreading it out. We have elevated most bench presses of people that can actually bench press through the use of this as s primer. Athletes, like soccer gamers, MMA, something the place you want energy to the middle, it is a improbable device for that. I cannot emphasize how wonderful and unbelievable this push up is. It’s important to strive it, incorporate it, and make it a staple a part of your coaching.
That is the Compression Push Up with the BOSU Elite.
