Post thoughts to comments:
I feel that this is a good way to protect oneself from neck or spinal injuries. Too many times I have gotten fatigued doing HSPUs and come down hard on the top of my head. With the abmat there I have a cushion to come down to and with my hands on the weights I am still getting the full ROM. Besides, I often have to resort to kipping and resting on the abmat is much better than the other pads we have.
ReplyDeleteIf you wanted to take it a step further you could stack more weights and go deeper at the bottom of the HSPU, increasing ROM and strengthening the shoulders even more (a good way to scale up for those who excel at HSPUs).
