5 Killer Freehand Exercises To Build A Strong and Massive Chest

#3 Gorilla Push-Ups

The explosive movements of the gorilla push-up not only improve the pecs but also improve the overall endurance of the body.

Instructions:

Step 1: Lie on the floor in a prone position and quickly transition yourself into a plank position. Lower your body until it is just inches off the floor while positioning the upper arms parallel to the torso. Ensure that the entire body is only resting on the palms and the toes.

Step 2: Explosively raise yourself off the floor and slap the chest. Return the hands to the initial position before you return to the floor.

Step 3: Pause for a second and ready yourself for the next rep.

Perform the exercise for the recommended number of times.

Important tip: Wear a weighted vest while performing the gorilla push-ups for added resistance and improved customisability.
