@s1m0n4 Something in between.
@sergeant I'm torn because if I go full ROM, I can only manage 4-5 reps on my toes. So far I've always switched to knee positioning, thus maintaining the range of motion. However I noticed that very few people do so
@s1m0n4 It all depends on what you're teying to accomplish. Are you trying to get stronger? Are you trying to recrute as much muscle viber as possible? Or are you chasing the pump?
All of these require a different aproach. None of them is wrong.
I often incorporate the Push up in my Chest regimen. I do it as a first exercise to warm up and get as much blood into the muscle before a start lifting weights, or I can do them as a finisher to exhaust the muscle. The latter I can do with slow full ROM or with fast reps without the full ROM.
It doesn't matter if the rest of your workout is strict. It's allowed to cheat with one exercize if the rest is performed with proper form.
@sergeant I'm not chasing the pump. It's all about being strong and mobile, I don't train for muscle hypertrophy. I didn't think that it could depend on the fitness goal, that actually makes sense. Would you suggest that I keep doing full ROM if all I want is to increase my strength?
@sergeant thanks!
