TRAILER 2 | Introducing The Billion Dollar Body

Avi Arya breaks down proper push-up form and why full range of motion matters for building strength and resilient ligaments. A fitness fundamentals lesson for anyone serious about getting stronger.
So the first thing is, gymnasts are some of the most strong people in the world. It's because they have strength and range of motion. Okay. So we want to make sure that with the push up, we're going full range of motion. Not because it's not. It's bad to go half range of motion, but because to build ligament strength around your joints, you want to build strength in all ranges of motion. Because in real life, you actually use all ranges. So if you only have strength from here to here, if you have to do anything from here to here, you have no strength. So we can build full strength. So the first thing is I'm going to go all the way down and touch my chest. The elbows are close to my body, so just bring your elbows in. So this grip remains the same. Yeah. Feel your elbows here. Yep. In. And that'll work a little bit more of your tricep as well when you're doing. And it takes the pressure off of your shoulder a little bit. Form is everything, like you said. Yep. I need to get that right. So his hands are right underneath his shoulders, stacked on top, because that's the powerful position. And he's in a plank right now. So he starts in the plank position, goes down in the push up, keeping the abs tight, really using the big muscles. 100 every day, a lot of people do a push up and not use the correct muscles, which gives a different result. Want to make sure that you awaken the big muscles. And that's what he's done now he's a student.
