EXERCISE DEMO | Push Up 1 & 1/4 | Coach Zach Mckenna

Sally Up with a side shoulder strain got you down and not able to push back up?

Is it possible to get better at this sensational push up challenge without having to listen to the song as frequently as you try to improve?

If you haven’t done that challenge yet and you’re ready for it, then go give it a quick try before reading on.

Did you manage to do enough to work up a muscle burning sensation?

Here you see Coach Zach depositing some 1 & 1/4 push ups.

Now, we don’t believe that push ups are truly a great choice of exercise but if you had to do them (assuming you could do them) this would likely be the best use of your time.

By spending the extra time in repeating the 1/4 rep you get to imprint more strain on the muscle in that range. Since the ground position is the most difficult to keep tension in while performing a push up, it allows you to ‘double dip’ every rep making it that little bit more effective for endurance goals like Sally Up.
