What muscles can push-ups train?

Nowadays, more and more male friends are paying more attention to fitness, and one of the most popular ways of fitness is doing push-ups. This can also be a good way to exercise male muscles, and it also has a good training effect on the strength of the body muscles. However, many people don’t know which muscles push-ups can train. Let’s take a brief look with the editor below!

The main muscle groups exercised by push-ups are the pectoralis major and triceps, while other parts of the body such as the anterior deltoid, serratus anterior and coracobrachialis are also exercised. Its main function is to improve the muscle strength of the upper limbs, chest, waist, back and abdomen.

2. Inhale, stretch your arms forward and then down, forming an arc, as if you are stretching your spine, starting from the head down, then the neck and upper back, and finally bending the lower back forward. As you stretch, let your arms reach forward. Finally, place your hands on the mat in front of you.

5. Maintain the posture of action 4 and do 8 push-ups. Inhale when going down and exhale when coming up. Try to slow down. Keep your abdomen tight and buttocks squeezed.

Through the introduction above, I believe that friends should have a detailed understanding of which muscles can be trained by push-ups. You must insist on doing push-ups at ordinary times, about 30 per day. After a period of time, there will be very obvious results. It is also very beneficial for men's body. You can practice more when you have time.
