2. NEGATIVE PUSH-UPS

Push up includes two moments- push movement in which you push your body upwards and eccentric movement in which you lower your body towards the floor. Negative push-ups focus on the eccentric movement of the body. Lowering your body with proper form can help in increasing strength and muscle size.
