Weighted push-ups

Step 1. - Setup: Begin in a standard plank position with a weight plate balanced securely on your upper back.

Step 2. - Alignment: Maintain a straight line from your head to your heels, engaging your core to prevent your back from sagging.

Step 3. - Execution: Lower your body until your chest nearly touches the floor, keeping your elbows at a forty-five degrees.

Step 4. - Ascent: Press through your palms to return to the starting position, fully extending your arms.
