Agatsu Movement Challenge Week 8

Each week we will release a new video movement challenge on our blog and Instagram accounts. These movements are not simply show off tricks that have become so popular on social media but rather they are meant to shine a light on your personal practice. We truly are only as strong as our weakest links and you need to challenge yourself to try new movements to discover what those weak links are. While many people are frustrated by movements that they can’t perform their reaction should be of joy since their new discovery if trained properly will lead them to even greater potential. So lets all train together and take the Agatsu Movement Challenge.

“Change your movement and you change your life.”Shawn Mozen

This weeks challenge is one of our favorite Push-up complexes. This little complex is a good reminder to always stay strong in your basics. Pushing strength is fundamental and can always be improved. The video is filmed in time lapse so it fits in instagram, you should use a much slower tempo. Perform ten full pushups then pause at the top, middle and bottom for ten seconds. Pause on your way back up and then perform another ten pushups. Next load all of your weight onto one hand, pause for ten seconds and then switch and hold on your other hand. Continue with another ten full pushups. To regress the movement perform the pushups with your knees down or on a box or cut the number of reps. HOW DID YOU DO? POST COMMENTS BELOW.
