If you thought a normal push-up was challenging...
, among others, shared an Instagram Story over the weekend of a young client perfecting the push-up thanks to the help of Bell’s tool. “Love how these assist with push-ups,” Borden writes in the caption. “Thalia’s form is spot on!”
The primary benefit of this tool, says DiSalvo, is that it provides assistance in what is typically the hardest part of the push-up. “Most people in both the bench press and the push-up have the most trouble at the bottom of the movement,” says DiSalvo. “They lose muscular tension and are mechanically weakest.”
Another big perk of this tool is that it reinforces proper push-up form, specifically, a safer elbow position. One of the biggest push-up mistakes people often make is flaring their elbows out too far as they lower, says DiSalvo. When you bring your elbows out too wide, you can place undue stress on your shoulders, wrists, and elbows. The push-up tool combats this by helping lock your elbows closer to your body.
If you can’t yet perform an unassisted push-up, start by putting on the device and attempting a few reps. Over time, build up the number of reps you attempt, and when you feel strong and confident enough, remove the device and attempt an unassisted push-up.
