How to train inner chest muscles with push-ups

Nowadays, many people like to exercise and shape a beautiful body through fitness. Especially gay men, they want to develop well-developed muscles through exercise, which not only makes them more masculine, but also attracts the favor of women. Many women like men with pectoral muscles. Of course, exercising the chest muscles is quite common. The chest muscles are divided into many parts. How can you do push-ups to exercise the inner chest muscles?

How to do push-ups

The correct hand posture is to keep the four fingers together except the thumb, with the thumb slightly open (to maintain body balance), and then the fingertips facing forward. The second question is the distance between the hands. Most of us hold our hands shoulder-width apart. In fact, this can only exercise the deltoid muscles (the muscles on the shoulders) and upper arm muscles, and use a small amount of abdominal muscles. The pectoral muscles are basically not used. The correct distance between the hands is when you do push-ups, when your upper arms and back are in the same plane, the angle between your lower arms and upper arms is ninety degrees. What I said may be a bit abstract. You can try it yourself and experience the distance between the hands. Push-ups done at this distance are most effective in exercising the pectoral muscles.

What should you pay attention to when doing push-ups?

First, about the hand problem, many people like to spread their fingers with their fingertips pointing to the sides of the body when doing push-ups. This is unscientific, because in this way your fingers and even forearms will play a role when doing push-ups. Why do some people say that they do so many push-ups a day but still have no effect? ​​In fact, not only push-ups, but all exercises if the purpose is to gain muscle, then you should try to exercise only that part of the muscle, and try not to use other parts if possible. Personally, I think the chest muscles are actually the most difficult to train, because there is no exercise that can only use the chest muscles. The correct hand posture is to keep the four fingers together except the thumb, with the thumb slightly open (to maintain body balance), and then the fingertips facing forward. The second question is the distance between the hands. Most of us hold our hands shoulder-width apart. In fact, this can only exercise the deltoid muscles (the muscles on the shoulders) and upper arm muscles, and use a small amount of abdominal muscles. The pectoral muscles are basically not used. The correct distance between the hands is when you do push-ups, when your upper arms and back are in the same plane, the angle between your lower arms and upper arms is ninety degrees.

How to train inner chest muscles with push-ups

If you want to work the inner chest, inner corner muscles, you can do close grip pushups. The force points must be on the inner side of the chest and inner corner muscles. Do not use your arms or back to exert force. Mainly use the chest muscles to drive the force. If you go to the gym, use the fly exercise, because when you do the "pec squeeze" exercise, the inner chest muscles will contract, so in addition to the fly exercise, all exercises related to the "pec squeeze" will exercise the inner chest muscles. Try to do narrow-grip push-ups as much as possible, with the index fingers and thumbs of both hands spread out at right angles, and your hands touching each other (thumbs touching, index fingers touching). You will feel very strenuous, and every time you do push-ups, you must do it fully, especially after you stand up, you must feel the inner edge of your pectoralis major muscle tighten again. I guess your upper chest muscles are not fully exercised either. Once you've gotten to the point where narrow push-ups aren't strenuous, keep raising your feet higher and practicing these two types of push-ups. This will help shape your pectoralis major muscles overall.

There are many ways and techniques to train the inner chest muscles through push-ups. But we need to proceed step by step and not rush for quick results. Exercising moderately every day and persisting for a period of time will definitely produce certain results. However, some people, in their eagerness to see results, ignore their health and practice ultra-intensively every day. This is actually disadvantageous and sometimes even counterproductive. Therefore, choosing the method that suits you is the most important thing.
