preparation execution variations / comments
Lie on floor in prone position, place hands slightly wider than shoulders. Keep body straight with arms extended. Flex elbows about right angled to lower body towards floor. Push body up, keep arms slightly flexed. Repeat. To protect wrists use fists instead of palms.
Push ups with additional weight on back require a training partner to add, remove and hold weight.
