Totally agree with Ivan:
One additional thing that will REALLY help -even though this may seem unrelated is headstands and handstands, and practice keeping these for as long as possible. Whilst inverted, athletes will have no option but to adjust their alignment and core strength, and elongate...
Aside from pushups and variations of it (explosive pushups, clap pushups, superman pushups we do with INTENSITY) there is one other exercise that has worked absolute magic on the upper body - including back, neck, core and arms.
This will improve muscular endurance for a longer period of time...
