Categories Personal Training Workouts How to Half Press Up Post author By Dale Wallace Personal Trainer Post date March 26, 2020 View this post on Instagram THE PRESS UP – One of the most well known bodyweight exercises and one of the first we learn as a child. A lot of people cannot do a full press up and there us no shame in regressing. The reason we regress exercises should be to keep good form/technique. The bottom photos show the correct start and finish point for a half press up. Hands should be underneath your shoulders and hips in line with a neutral spine. The top photos show a common technique flaw, in this the hands are too far in front of the shoulders and the hips are too high. If you aren't sure if you have the correct form ask a coach to watch you or record yourself on video and watch it back and compare to my clip. If you have any exercises you would like me to cover this week drop me a DM. #pressup #bodyweight #exercise #gym #puregym #chest #technique #form #humpday #coach #correct #video #regress #personaltraining #personaltrainer #preston A post shared by DaleWallace.PT (@dalewallace.pt) on Feb 6, 2019 at 10:04am PST Tags chest, chest exercise, how to press up, press up
Categories Personal Training Workouts Press Up Grip Variation Post author By Dale Wallace Personal Trainer Post date March 26, 2020 View this post on Instagram It's Friday so let's keep it simple. You can vary your press up by changing your grip. A wider grip will recruit more pectoral muscle fibres hitting the chest more. A narrow grip will recruit more tricep muscle fibres due to the increased focus on elbow extension #friday #fridaymotivation #fridaytip #fridayfeeling #pressup #workout #grip #chest #tricep #chest #arms #gym #puregym #preston A post shared by DaleWallace.PT (@dalewallace.pt) on Feb 15, 2019 at 12:26am PST Tags chest, chest exercise, chest workout, press up
Categories Personal Training Workouts The Cable Chest Fly Post author By Dale Wallace Personal Trainer Post date March 26, 2020 View this post on Instagram The cable chest fly has to be one of my favourites. Why? ○ Fantastic squeeze in the concentric phase (arms coming in) ○ Constant tension from the cables ○ Use of the cable for a good stretch/range of motion ○ Safer than dumbbells ○ You can vary the angle ○ You don't need a spotter ○ Easy to vary tempo I could go on…. ○ Make sure you get a good stretch then when contracting, focus on squeezing the chest by bringing the elbows and then the little fingers closer together, keep a constant slight bend in your elbow #technique #chest #fly #chestfly #workout #gym #chestday #pump #weights #exercise #cablechestfly #motivation #squeeze #preston #puregym #puregympreston #personaltraining #personaltrainer #muscle A post shared by DaleWallace.PT (@dalewallace.pt) on Aug 15, 2019 at 2:32am PDT Tags cable chest fly, chest exercise, chest fly, chest workout
