Push-ups are one of the best bodyweight exercises to hit your chest, arms, shoulders and core and, although difficult, there’s no better feeling than once you’ve mastered them. But then what do you? Well, you could add extra resistance, by using a resistance band, placing a weight plate on your back, or slowing down your tempo. But, if you’re really looking to crank things up a notch you could try earthquake push-ups.
This push-up variation is a particular favourite of celebrity trainer Don Saladino, who’s helped the likes of Ryan Reynolds, Sebastian Stan and Hugh Jackman, to name a few, get into superhero shape. However, unlike a regular push-up performed on the floor, the earthquake push is done on a suspended resistance band. Yes, you read that correctly.
