Drop down and give me 50!

One of the best chest exercises is the push-up. It helps build up both the pectoralis major and minor all while strengthening the anterior deltoid and triceps brachii. The push-up can be done in all kinds of forms; incline push-up, decline push-ups,plyometric push-up, as well as the wide and narrow stance push-ups. By the time you try attempt the different types of push-ups your chest would be completely burnt out.

Not only are there so many variations but push-ups can be done anywhere. Staying at a friends or in a hotel room for the night? Not a problem for the push-up. Drop down and give yourself 3 sets of maximum push-ups to get in a quick pump.

There is no excuse to not get in a workout. it's as simple as dropping down and giving me 50!

  1. Geebus, push ups are evil. Effective but evil. And they test my core muscles every time.
