CrossFit Koncepts

I program a ton of Push-ups into each and every training cycle and if you train with us and keep track of them (some of you do) then you'll know that it's not uncommon to do upwards of a couple thousand a month.  Why so many Push-ups?  Because the Push-up is not only a great strength exercise but it also is a great integration exercise.  What do I mean by integration?  I mean that a well executed Push-up requires you to tense the whole body, lock the torso, core and legs into one unit, and maintain that alignment throughout.  Not only that but if done properly they will develop your pushing and pulling strength without having to use any any equipment other than your own body.

Check out this video by my friend Pat Flynn on how to one of my favorite variations of the Push-up: the One Armed Push-up. Enjoy!
