Push

The Push movement pattern is one of the primary human motions, involving any action where you apply force to move an object—or your own body—away from your centre. These movements strengthen the chest, shoulders, triceps, and core, creating the foundation for pressing power and upper-body stability. Common examples include push-ups, bench press, wall balls, and overhead presses. In functional fitness, push movements appear in both horizontal (pressing forward) and vertical (pressing upward) planes. Mastering both patterns improves posture, shoulder function, and athletic performance. Push training enhances not only strength but endurance and control, particularly during high-volume workouts like the RB100 100-rep challenges. Consistent development of this pattern supports balanced muscular growth and injury prevention across the kinetic chain.
