Negative Push-Ups Guide
- Start in the standard military push-up position. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart with your hands placed under the shoulders.
- Ensure the whole body is in a straight line from the shoulders to the heels and then lower your body slowly. Maintain the plank posture until the chest is closest to the ground.
- While in that position, push back in the knee push up position and straighten the whole body into the military push-up position.
- Lower the whole body again maintaining the military position and repeat the process.
Trainer’s Tips
- Keep your core braced and engaged all through the negative push ups so that excessive pressure is taken off the low back as you lift.
- Ensure a straight body line from the heels to the shoulders.
