How to train chest muscles with push-ups

Many young friends who usually do not have enough time will do push-ups at home to exercise their arm and chest muscles and strength. It is worth mentioning that correct push-up exercises can really help us exercise our arms, chest and abdominal muscles. So how do you use push-ups to train your chest muscles? Let’s take a look at it together below!

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)

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)

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)

Straighten your legs and place one hand on the floor in front of you, keeping your body in a straight line with your non-supporting hand behind you. Bend your elbows and lower yourself in a controlled manner until your chin is about a fist's distance from the ground. Then push back to the original position. (The ultimate test of strength and endurance, beginners only need to do the first few poses)
