Its OLD but it WORKS

You don't see many people doing push-ups anymore. Everyone instead is using machines, dumbbells, and/or barbells for their chest. Though they are great for building muscle, they don't do the same factor as a normal body weight push-ups. Push ups allow us to use our natural weight as a leverage, the muscle we build is dense without the "poking" out factor.

Females looking for a great way to build their chest without "massive" pecs should try this out!



Well, if it worked for the 300 Spartans! then us average Joe's shouldn't have a problem.

Toss your regular chest routine out the door and try out this one:

  • Take 1:30min break in between each exercise. 2 cycles (use knees if needed)
    • Standard push-up -  20reps
    • Stagger-stance push-up - 12reps (emphasis on right pectoral)
    • Stagger-stance push-up - 12 reps (emphasis on left pectoral)
    • Superman push-ups - 6reps
    • Decline push-ups - 10reps
    • Clap-push-ups (perform 4reps take a 20sec break...continue until you've reached 20reps)
    • Walking push-ups (start down on elbows...to hands...back down to elbows) 30reps
