5 Roaring Bodyweight Workouts For Chest

#4 Incline Push-Up

This variation of the regular push-up targets the upper pectoral muscles with greater accuracy. Along with the chest, the incline-push-up activates the shoulders, forearms, biceps, triceps and the abdominal muscles.

Instructions:

Step 1: Stand in front of an elevated platform with your feet placed close to each other. Place your hands on the platform while maintaining a straight body. In this position, the body must make an acute angle with the floor, and the arms must be in a fully extended position.

Step 2: Gradually lower your body until the chest is just inches above the raised platform.

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

Perform the exercise for the recommended number of times.

Important tip: Increase the height of the elevated platform for an increased challenge.
