Description of the workout

The push-up with a resistance band is a variation of the traditional push-up that adds resistance to further challenge the chest, shoulders, and triceps. Set Up: Loop Resistance band around your back, holding each end under your hands on the floor. Get into a standard Push Up Position, which you can be feet or knees on the floor or knees on a platform of some kind. Hands are slightly wider than shoulder width. Lower your chest toward the floor, keeping your elbows at a 45-degree angle and push back up to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of Sets and Reps.

Common Mistakes

Scapular collapse during push-up. Letting the chest sink and the shoulder blades collapse inward during the descent shifts the focus away from the shoulder joint and reduces upper body stability. To correct this, maintain control of the scapula by actively engaging the serratus anterior and focusing the movement at the shoulders and elbows, not through passive scapular retraction.
