7 Exercises To Improve Push Ups

These exercises target the same muscles you’ll need to master push ups. So, begin working them into your workout routine and watch your push up strength increase!

Though the push up is often seen as just a body weight chest exercise, in reality, a push up is so much more than that. It's a total upper body exercise.

Exercises To Improve Push Ups

You can begin adding these upper body exercises into your current workout routine or create a circuit from them by choosing 4-5 of them and performing them back to back.

Plank Rocks Begin in plank position on your forearms with the shoulders directly above the elbows.

Isometric Bottom Push Up Begin in plank position with glutes engaged and a slight round in the upper back to engage a hollow body hold.

Hollow Body Hold Begin by laying on your back. Think of tucking your ribs and hip bones together which rounds the lower back and presses it into the floor.

Eccentric Push Ups Keep the core engaged and a straight line as you bend the elbows backward and begin to lower toward the floor.
