Here is how to make any exercise harder.
➡️Pre-fatigue
The goal of pre fatigue is to make an exercise feels harder than it normally would.
You can use various techniques to do so and/or combine them all together.
Here is a great example to how do that with pushups and make 10 reps feel like 50.
1. Use a decline setting: this makes it harder than a classic push up. Use a box, chair, couch, anything works
2. Stay at the bottom in an isometric hold for 10 seconds
3. Lean forward into a pseudo push up hold
4. Perform 10 “halfer push ups”(repetitions where you only perform the bottom half portion of the push up, from the chest to ground to parallel)
5. Perform 10 clean full range of motion push ups
