Hi guys,

Is this a correct way of performing wrist pushups?

thanks for your comments!

It's looking pretty good. Your bodyline could use some work (you're a bit piked), and you're "popping" to get on top of your firsts. Get rid of the pike and make the motion more smooth at the top.

I was going to say something similar, but hoped someone higher up in the oligarchy would chime in. Doing them super slow, especially at the transition, does wonders. Sometimes backing up a progression or at least including some super slow ones on your knees in your WU or on off days (think at least 10s reps w/ most or all of it on the wrist transition) make a world of difference.

 

If adding to what your doing already I would skip the actual pushup part and do super slow transition work either piked or on knees.

Once you've mastered SE4, you can then go on to try doing the pushups as tempo pushups, or do them without bending the arms.

I just meant going back to PE3/4 but with slow reps to help with the transition. Maybe adding some in WU or on off days.

 

...but alas, I made it a little too word crowded in my first post.
