Weighted pushups

[xgmad]

I have tried to do weighted pushups, but I use a back pack with a bunch of stuff in it, like car batteries.

How do you guys do weighted pushups?

I want to make sure I do them safely.

Well. .

You really should have someone with you when you do this. And they should be able to lift that weight off you easily too.

I did that with a 100 pound weight plate placed on ny back. Had the friend of mine lift it off when I was tuckered out.

They make 100 lb weight plates?

A true BITOG, works out with car batteries. Man that must be heavy!

You'll most commonly find 100lb plates near the leg press machines.

Weighted dead hangs, baby. One big fat cat clinging to each leg!

I used to. Would have a buddy put a plate on my back or later in life I would have a kid sit on me. Can't anymore as my SI joint can't take the pressure. Now I just slow them down.

Bands are the absolutely best way to add resistance easily to push-ups. Plates are probably the seconds easiest but you need a spotter to help out. Not always practical. I prefer dynamic movements or angles as a spotter and weights aren’t needed. Spider-Man push-ups, clap push-ups, dive bombers, medicine ball push-ups, feet elevated push-ups, etc.
