3 Exercises for Building Chest Muscle : 1 - Standard Push-Up

3 Exercises for Building Chest Muscle : 1 - Standard Push-Up
1 - Standard Push-Up :

Push-ups are an old favorite workout by everyone from bodybuilders to military service men, and for good reason. The push-up is an extremely effective and efficient exercise. They can be done just about anywhere, and you do not need any special weights or equipment.

To execute a standard push-up, lie flat on your stomach on the floor. You will want your body to be as straight as possible. Place your palms on the ground at or just outside shoulder width. Keep your heels pointed straight up.


Push until your arms are fully extended, lifting your body off the ground. Instead of trying to lift yourself, however, imagine pushing the ground away from your body. This will help you maintain proper form. Keep your body stiff throughout this entire motion.

Slowly lower yourself back down to the starting position. Repeat this motion as many times as you can, then consider resting for a minute and trying some more. If regular push-ups become too easy for you, you always have the option of adding weights to make yourself heavier.
