T-Push ups

• This will develop the stabilizers of the trunk and shoulders. This drill introduces trunk rotation and mimics the frequent twists and turns performed during such movement as tackling and mauling.
• Assume the push-up position, hollow then brace your abdomen, and squeeze your buttocks to help you maintain a stable trunk.
• Take one hand off the floor and raise it vertically as far as you can before losing control. Allow your feet and legs to rotate with your arm. Raise the arm over a period of 3 seconds, hold it there for 1 second, and lower it over 3 seconds. Then repeat. It's important that keep your body in a straight line and rotate it around an imaginary axis going through your head and spine. You can progress with elevating your feet to a bench and use a pair of dumbbells.
