When combined with ample overload, push-ups are one of the most effective and safe functional mass builders. We can easily apply eccentric overload (lowering a heavier weight than you can lift) to further enhance this training stimulus.

THE ECCENTRIC POTENTIATION PUSH-UP​

In the video, NFL Combine athlete Michael Montero performs an eccentric potentiation weighted push-up protocol using the ledge push-up technique.

The total weight on the eccentric phase (bodyweight included) is just over 500 pounds while the concentric (lifting) phase is slightly over 400 pounds.

Simply have a partner place a dumbbell, kettlebell, or sandbag on your back during the negative phase of the push-up and then immediately have them lift the weight off to allow a powerful completion of the concentric phase.

Applying this concept to push-ups not only crushes the chest, shoulders, and triceps, but also the core and spinal stabilizers because you're essentially holding an incredibly heavy plank.

The eccentric potentiation push-up, demonstrated in the video by NFL Combine athlete Michael Montero, involves adding weight during the eccentric phase of the push-up to create an overload stimulus. This exercise targets the chest, shoulders, triceps, core, and spinal stabilizers.
