Get between the bars. Place your hands on each of them, jump up and climb onto the bars – this will be the starting position.

Having climbed into the starting position, slowly begin to lower your body, bending your elbows. Lower yourself until a 90-degree angle forms between your wrist and forearm. When lowering the body, you need to do

INHALE.

Raise your torso by doing the opposite movement until you return to the starting position.

EXHALATION.

Do as many contractions as you need.

It is necessary to perform push-ups on the uneven bars without swinging, to make micro-pauses between contractions.

You can vary the load between the chest and triceps as follows.
Push-ups on the uneven bars with an emphasis on triceps

To do this, you should choose bars with a narrower distance between them, this allows you to position your hands for better work of the triceps.

We try to press our hands in the elbows to the ribs. We straighten the torso, and keep it strictly vertical.

These actions will ensure the best position for the work of all three heads of the triceps.

Push-ups on the uneven bars with an emphasis on the chest

When performing this exercise, you must first set the body in the correct position. You should press your chin to your chest, bend your legs slightly at the knees, and when lowering, bring your knees closer to your stomach (so that an angle of 90 degrees is formed between your stomach and legs). At the same time, during contractions, the elbows should not be pressed against the body, but on the contrary, try to spread or “bulge” them in different directions.

Common Mistakes

1. Improper breathing – as always, leads to rapid fatigue and dizziness

2. The fast pace of the exercise makes it difficult to focus on observing the correct technique and fully stretching the muscles. To cope with this problem, you can make second pauses at the top and bottom points of doing push-ups on the uneven bars.

3. Incomplete stretching of the muscles – lowering your body not to the end, you do not allow the triceps to stretch. This significantly reduces the effectiveness of the exercise.

Many argue about whether it is worth it to completely unbend your elbows when you bring the body to its original position.

I am not a supporter of full extension of the elbows. On the one hand, this gives maximum work to the muscles, on the other hand, it has a bad effect on the elbow joint. If at the beginning it is not noticeable, with age it will still make itself felt. Here everyone chooses for himself.
