Deep Press Up

Deep press ups should only be performed by conditioned persons, as the increased depth will create a greater range of movement which will work more muscle fibres of the chest.

START
FINISH
make sure the rises are secure - slightly wider than shoulder width apart aim to take your chest a little lower than your hands

Aim to use two step boxes, which you should place your hands onto, keeping your fingers pointing forward.

Lower down under control, holding in the final lowered phase for 1 - 2 seconds prior to returning back up to your starting position.

You may wish to make the exercise harder by performing with your feet raised on another step box, however always take care that any raised platform you use is secure, with your hands or feet firmly on them.
