Pushing and Pulling

Exercises that incorporate both pushing and pulling movements provide a comprehensive training stimulus by targeting a wide range of muscles and movement patterns. These exercises engage muscles in the upper body, such as the pectoralis major, deltoids, triceps brachii, and latissimus dorsi, during pushing actions, while pulling actions activate muscles like the biceps brachii, rhomboids, and trapezius. This balanced activation improves muscular strength, endurance, and coordination, promoting functional movement patterns. Push-pull exercises may efficiently and effectively develop muscular balance and enhance overall physical performance. Incorporating exercises that require a push and a pull into training programs can lead to improved functional capacity and reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injuries.
