PUSH UP
Channel: Intuit Fitness Training
Date: 2020-04-11

The push up, one of the best bodyweight chest training options.


This is a well recognized pressing exercise and for good reason.  This closed chain movement works the pecs, triceps and anterior shoulder muscles along with full body stability.  Load the exercise with a weight vest, backpack full of weight, a weight plate placed on your back by your training partner, etc.... Remember to avoid over flaring your elbows or keeping them in very close to your body, they should be around 30 degrees out to your side. Keep a neutral head position the whole exercise. Imagine you're pressing the earth away while at the same time driving the inside of your elbows together. Take your arms to full lockout.
