In this episode, we dive into the 1 arm push-up and the 1 arm /1 leg push-up exercises.

The 1 arm push-up variation is a fantastic demonstration of total body tension and upper body strength. This is not one of those exercises you can dive right into. These bodyweight exercises require strength, coordination, determination and practice in order to perform them safely and efficiently.

We dive deep into various topics like:

  • Creating and implementing muscular tension
  • Programming considerations
  • Coaching cues for these exercises
  • Shoulder and scapular mechanics

If you are a fan of bodyweight training, you don’t wanna miss this episode.

Not All Gym Shoes Are Created Equal—Here’s How to Choose the Right Pair

As trainers, we get this question all the time: “What shoes should I wear for working out?” And it’s a great question because the right footwear can make a difference (positive and negative) in how you move, lift, and perform. Lately, we’ve been seeing a lot of super-cushioned sneakers like Hokas and On Clouds popping up at SOS. And while they’re great for running or all-day comfort, they’re not the best choice for strength training. In fact, they might actually be holding you back.
