TDAYS TIP IS FOR THE CHEST...and since summer is comming we all want a great chest, because this is all girls care about. right kids


This exercise is not a focus exercise, more an additional exercise to add to your Chest routine. First you will need a stabalizer board, basically a board with a additional long piece of wood at the bottom. The exercise is a pushup done while keeping the board stable. The board is used to target the stabalizer muscels in your chest. After you have master the balance point, have a lifting partner add 45 pounds to your back and perform them.

Try and do 15 weighted pushups, then 30 reg. pushups...hold a postion of tense for 30 more seconds and then bust out 10 more.

three sets of these badboys and you chest will be feeling the burn.

How much later do you do the push ups after you do your chest workout. I use to do push ups in between my exercises to failure(3 sets). This sounds pretty tough. Which do you recommend; either between exercises or after total chest and tri workout?

i do these last...do finish out the work and get some extra pump and blood into the chest era

Sounds good! I'll be sure to implement this into the routine this coming week.

thats a pretty good idea bro. kind of like a balance board for the upper body.a half or full foam roll might be pretty good for the bottom part too. stability ball pushups are similar to that. pushups with your hands on the stability ball.

another way to stabilize the shoulder capsule is to take a step or elevated platform (about 4-5 inches off the ground and just walk up and down it while in the push up position. not particularly for chest but gets a deep burn around the shoulder capsule. you can also add plyo pushups by jumping up and down from that step. other variations: walking your body "round the clock" basically staying in the pushup position but walking in a circle with your feet staying at one point.

ive seen very good improvements by doing stabilizer things like that at the end of my chest or shoulder workouts.

good tip though. ill have to try it.

Big Nate you have some serious non-weight related exercises. These sound pretty good, did you get them all from the military or just trial and error?
