Elastics Resisted Push-up Overview

The elastic Resisted push-up workout primarily targets the chest muscles, providing an effective way to build strength and definition.

During the workout, the elastics are used to add resistance to the push-up movement, intensifying the exercise and increasing muscle activation in the chest.

While the workout may also engage secondary muscles like the triceps and shoulders, the focus remains on the chest, making it an ideal routine for those looking to specifically target and develop this area.

Elastics Resisted Push-up Tips

Start in a high plank position with the elastic looped around your upper back and held in each hand.
Engage your core and keep your body in a straight line from head to heels throughout the exercise.
As you lower your chest towards the ground, focus on squeezing your chest muscles to activate them.
Push through your palms and extend your arms fully, while maintaining tension on the elastic to increase resistance.
Avoid letting your hips sag or your elbows flare out to ensure proper form and target your chest effectively.
Perform the exercise with controlled movements and aim for a full range of motion to maximize chest engagement and strength gains.
