5 Killer Freehand Exercises To Build A Strong and Massive Chest

#4 Single-Arm Push-Ups

Single-arm push-ups are an advanced variation of the regular push-ups that target the pectoral muscles with better isolation.

Instructions:

Step 1: Lie on the floor in a prone position and quickly transition yourself into a high plank position. Move your legs outward such that the distance between them is greater than the width of the shoulders.

Step 2: Place the left hand behind the back and lower your body using the right hand until it is just inches off the floor.

Step 3: Pause for a second and return to the starting position.

Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of times. Perform the exercise with the other arm to train the other set of pectoral muscles.

Important tip: Beginners are advised to exercise caution as this exercise requires a reasonable amount of balance.
