Can doing push-ups regularly help build muscle?

Push-ups are an exercise that people nowadays like to do very much. The space required for push-ups does not need to be very large, it just needs to be spacious enough, and there is no need for any special equipment to help practice push-ups, so it has been warmly welcomed by the general public. So, can push-ups exercise people's muscles? Next, let's take a look at the relevant content in this regard through some detailed information.

Push-ups are good for exercising the abdominal, back and chest muscles, and can be done in many different ways to achieve unexpected fitness results.

1. Change the distance between the two hands: the hands are slightly wider (or slightly narrower) than the shoulders, and the elbows are open and parallel to the ground.

As long as your hands are not equal to shoulder width, the difficulty of push-ups will increase accordingly. The method that is slightly wider than the shoulder distance focuses more on training the arm and shoulder muscles; the method that is slightly narrower than the shoulder distance focuses more on training the chest and back muscles.

2. Changes in hand and foot techniques: Hand techniques can be divided into three forms: full palm support, fist support and finger support. In terms of direction, they can be divided into three support postures: fingertips forward, inward and outward. Full palm support means supporting the ground with the entire palm; fist support means supporting the ground with a clenched fist; finger support means supporting the ground with the first joint of the fingers. Finger support requires great strength and is the most difficult. There are two types of foot techniques: feet together or apart. You can also use the instep or arch of the foot to support the ground.

3. Changes in posture with body tilt: When doing high push-ups, the practitioner's body is with feet low and hands high, and hands and feet are not on the same horizontal plane. This posture is suitable for beginners and people with little strength. Medium push-ups, in which the practitioner's feet and hands are on the same level, are suitable for general exercisers.

The above is a detailed introduction to the content that people are very concerned about, namely whether push-ups can help people exercise their muscles. Through the above materials, we can clearly know that push-ups can help people build muscles, so people who want to have strong muscles can do this exercise.
