Part 3- Chest Push Ups Series with Clifta- Exercise Tip
This is Part 3 of 3… of my Chest/Push-Up Series.
In this clip I demonstrate and talk about my secrets of doing a Full Push-Up and a Half Push-Up.
I’ve found over the years of training people that, although Push-Ups are a basic movement, people have a hard time feeling their Chest when they do them. That’s the reason I’ve gone into so much detail about the Push-Up.
It’s a basic body weight exercise that is used ALOT in bootcamp style workouts so I thought I’d make some clips explaining how to do Push-Ups so you feel Chest without putting pressure on your lower back and/or shoulders.
This is a 3 Part Series… So make sure you see Parts 1 & 2 for additional information!
If you’ve been feeling pressure or more of a load on your shoulders or triceps during Push-Ups, or any other Chest exercise, more than you do your Chest… then this clip will explain everything that I do and think about when I do Push-Ups.
Thank you for stopping by,

Part 2- Chest/Push Up Series with Clifta- Exercise Tip
This is Part 2 of 3… of my Chest/Push-Up Series.
This clip is talking about what I call “the hinge” in the chest.
If you’ve been feeling pressure or more of a load on your shoulders or triceps during Push-Ups or any other Chest exercise more than you do your Chest… then this clip is a must see.
Learning to hinge at the Chest instead of the Shoulders will make all of your Chest Exercises more effective!
I also talk of antagonistic muscle groups… what are they?
Part 3… is the actual, more detailed, Push-Up Demonstration! Don’t miss out!

Half Push-Ups
This clip shows the correct way of doing half push ups.
In order to make your half push ups more effective it’s important to keep your body in a straight line, stay over top of your arms, keep your core tight, elbows out, and focus on your chest while performing the exercise.
If you have problems doing half push ups because they hurt your shoulders or elbows… then these tips might help you to be able to do them once again. I’ve found with alot of people I’ve helped, it’s just a matter of re-adjusting form… sometimes it’s not, but alot of time it is.
