Push—ups are the foundation for the physical perfection of a person. The advantages that they carry in themselves can be enumerated endlessly. But the most important thing is that they can be performed at any time and in any place.

Today I will tell you about the five most important reasons why you should not underestimate this exercise.

Perfectly pump the entire upper body. And when changing the setting of the hands, you can accentuate any part of the muscles that you need. In addition, push-ups do not injure the spine.

Make your torso stronger. As for physical training for martial arts, push-ups are generally the basis. First of all, they strengthen your muscular corset, which, of course, will help to avoid injuries in combat through a strengthened body.

They awaken the body well and energize it. Start charging every morning. It will help the body wake up and prevent injuries during training. Include push-ups in your exercise routine and try to add them once every day. Start with 10 push-ups. Even if you can do push-ups 50 times, do 10 every morning, and in a year you will be able to do push-ups 375 times already!

Push-ups with lifting hands off the floor train explosive power. This helps to achieve a knockout blow. Many coaches of the USSR boxing school claimed that a week for a boxer to do push-ups 2500 times is considered the minimum norm. With the help of this exercise, the fighters reached incredible indicators in the force of the blow. And until now, mixed martial arts trainers consider push-ups to be an integral part of training.

Protect from injury. Unlike weight training, this exercise is less dangerous. If you want to train your body and arms well, start with it.

The variety of push-ups is limited only by your imagination. There are an infinite number of their varieties, so it will not be boring with them. And by the way, don't forget what you're doing push-ups on. Doing push-ups on your fists will strengthen your hands, which will also help you avoid injury when hitting. You can perform this exercise on your fingers, which will improve strength performance in wrestling, since hand grip is very important for this sport.
