Start Position: Nearly any variation of a push-up is a great chest exercise. I like to do them on a low squat bar. You can also do a traditional push-up on the floor, either on your toes or knees. You can also do them standing and push off a wall. As you grow stronger, you can move from the easier variations to the more difficult ones.
MidPoint: Hands should be about shoulder width apart. Keeping body straight and tight, bend your elbows and lower yourself until face is almost touching the floor, wall, or bar. Finish Position: Push back up until arms are nearly straight, focusing on using chest strength not arm strength. 15-20 reps keeping a continuous, smooth motion throughout the set. |
