Stuff I Dig
Elevated Pike Press Man, no WONDER my shoulders hurt today, lol. Looking at the pics, I must have done 50 of these! Sheesh. No need for you to do that many. Or even with your feet elevated like me. Modify this move by placing your feet on the floor (like a downward dog position). Straighten your legs to make it harder, or bend at the knee to make it easier. Advanced? Try it on one foot for a psycho set! How To Do ItA. Come up to a pushup position, hands out wide, and elevate your feet on a chair or bench. Make sure they are planted firmly in the seat, and that your shoulders are in line with your hands. B. Pike your butt and hips up into the air, keeping your back flat. Walk your hands towards your feet until your head, shoulders and hands form one straight line. (like an inverted V)C. Lower down into the press (hands wide), bringing elbows parallel to the floor. Relax your neck, and think of an elevator: lower down and up and don’t push away. Use your shoulders to do the lift as much as possible. D. Press back up into the pike position. Repeat.
