Hannah demonstrates the alternating parallete pushups TECHNIQUE: This is a great way to take the standard parallete pushup to the next level. By alternating sides it is easier to work each side at a more individual level. ADVANTAGES: This movement is a great way to work the pectoralis major, anterior deltoids and triceps brachii. By incorporating the paralletes this movement also engages your core. FAULTS: It is easy to drift out of proper push up form, especially when fatigue begins to set in. SCALING: This movement can be adapted by turning the bar so it is perpendicular to you as opposed to parallel, using a shorter parallete or by converting to a modified one arm pushup.
