For the next in the series of exercises, the press up. There are many, many variations of the press up, and we slow this exercise down into a step-by-step guide to perform this awesome movement. It’s a slight upgrade in difficulty from the first in the series (the cable chest press). Some may struggle with holding themselves in the extended plank position, before even going down into the press-up movement. If you do find this too difficult next month there is a slight regression of this exercise to start you off and help you build strength as a stepping stone.
