Cole Dano Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I'm always surprised that a lot of people have trouble with the traditional pushup (elbows in) It's excellent and should be mastered first and foremost.The other wide elbow version is what i learned in grade school. Using GB terminology, i've been calling this a Bulgarian floor pushup.I don't let my students do them until they can do the traditional one well. And generally will bypass it and go the the rings first.However i don't see any thing wrong with it, but one should understand they are different.I do i as a warm up on pressing days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quick Start Test Smith Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 I do elbows-in push ups regularly and I like them. How do you think they're different in the muscles trained? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
