Hello, fitness warriors! 💪 Today, we’re pushing our limits with a challenging workout finisher: the Weighted Push-up. This routine involves a unique twist on the classic push-up, adding a barbell plate for extra resistance and a pause at the bottom of each rep for increased intensity.

Workout Breakdown:

The Workout: Place a barbell plate on your back. Lower your body into a push-up, pausing at the bottom. Add 1 second to the pause on every rep, starting with 1 second. Perform as many reps as possible while maintaining good technique. Here are the steps:

Position: Get into a high plank position with a barbell plate on your back.

Lower: Lower your body until your chest nearly touches the floor.

Pause: Hold at the bottom of the push-up, adding 1 second to the pause on each rep.

Repeat: Continue for as many reps as possible with good technique.

Rest and Repeat: Take a 1-minute rest to recover, then repeat the sequence for a total of 4 sets.
