How to build chest muscles by doing push-ups?

Nowadays, people's economic conditions have greatly improved, so many people will go to the gym to exercise when they want to lose weight or shape their body, especially some men who want to train their chest muscles. In fact, training your chest muscles doesn’t have to be particularly troublesome. Simple exercises like push-ups can also help you build strong muscles as long as you use the right method. So what movements can help men practice? Now I will explain in detail.

1. Basic movement: wall push-ups

Stand facing a wall with your feet together and your arms extended shoulder-width apart, with your hands flat on the wall. Bend your elbows until your forehead touches the wall. Then push yourself back to the original position. (Suitable for people with weak physical foundation or those recovering from injuries)

2. Knee push-ups

Keep your feet together and knees on the ground. Stretch your arms straight out, shoulder-width apart. Place your hands directly below your chest, with your palms flat on the ground. Keep your ankles together and your body in a straight line without sticking your butt out or slouching your waist. Bend your elbow with one knee as a fulcrum, lift yourself one fist away from the ground and then push yourself back to the original position. (This movement is suitable for women and for warming up before starting formal exercise) If you can do more than 30 at a time, you can consider the next movement.

3. Standard push-ups

Support yourself with your hands and stretch your legs straight back. Stand with your legs and feet together, and your hands shoulder-width apart. The hips are in line with the spine. Then bend your elbows until your chest is just a fist's distance from the ground. Note: Be sure to keep your elbows tight against your back so that you can better exercise your chest rather than your arms. (If you can do more than 20 standard push-ups at a time then you can move on to the next position)

4. Narrow-grip Prone

The starting position of the narrow-grip push-up is basically the same as that of the standard push-up, but the hand position is changed so that the tips of the two index fingers touch each other. Then slowly lower your body so that your chest and the backs of your hands are touching. Then push yourself back to the original position. (This posture not only exercises the chest, but also has relatively high requirements on the arms, and can exercise the upper limb strength in all directions)

After reading the editor's description of the above method of exercising chest muscles, I wonder if it is helpful to you? If you also want to have a good figure, you might as well try it. I believe it will help you to exercise your chest muscles. In addition, training chest muscles is not something that can be achieved overnight, so you must be patient during the practice and do not give up halfway.
