Eccentric Pushups

Don’t have a barbell and a bench press? No problem! You can get all the chest development you want with kettlebell training and bodyweight training. After working with hundreds if not thousands of people over the years, one thing is glaringly obvious, the bench press doesn’t translate to functional application of closed chain strength. There’s far too many humans who can bench press average to above average numbers but who are terrible at managing their entire body while doing pushups.

Pushup are the king of upper body exercises, and if you’re looking for a further challenge in your pushups, simply add eccentrics. 5 seconds on the way down and exploding up will humble any workout enthusiast.
