pushups

Published: Fri, 04/22/16

The Pushup is one of the best bodyweight exercises you can do for your upper body.

Unfortunately, people who do a lot of Pushups often experience some of these issues:

Decreased shoulder flexibility, especially reaching overhead and behind your back
Rounded shoulders and “winged” scapula
Nerve impingements
Rotator cuff issues
Tendonitis

That’s why if you do Pushups, you must ensure you’re balancing them out to avoid these issues and having to take time off from working out due to injury.

First, you have to perform double the number of sets of pulling exercises to maintain strength balance across the shoulder. The best choice for this is the Seated Cable Row exercise.

However, if your pecs are already tight from a lot of Pushups, then you’re never going to achieve full range of motion when you do the Seated Row, because they’ll limit how much you can open your chest and squeeze your shoulder blades together.

That’s why right before each set of Seated Rows, do a static stretch for your pecs.

Just put one arm up on a door frame, enter the stretch, hold it for 30 seconds while you breathe naturally, then repeat on the other arm.

When you do this right before the Seated Row, you’re removing the tightness that prevents you from building strength at the end range of motion of the Row.

Building this end range of motion strength in the Seated Row is the key factor in preventing your shoulders from getting too tight from Pushups (and avoiding all of those annoying issues).

But if you already have tight shoulders, then you’ll need to do more than this to restore proper flexibility, which is why I recommend you grab my buddy Eric’s Shoulder Flexibility Solution today:
