Key takeaways
Start at 5 reps per wrist movement, progress to 10 before adding frequency
Start at 5 reps per wrist movement, progress to 10 before adding frequency
- Prescribed entry point is 5 reps each movement, once weekly — increase reps before increasing session frequency.
- Range of motion is the progression metric, not load; each week's session should push slightly further than the last.
Back-of-hand push-up: regress by moving knees closer to hands
Back-of-hand push-up: regress by moving knees closer to hands
- Performing push-ups on the dorsum of the hand loads wrists in an unusual extension position — builds resilience for heavy pressing.
- Knee distance from hands is the load variable: closer = less wrist pressure, allowing gradual progression to full bodyweight.
