5 ways to pump lift the chest

#2 Push-Ups

The push-up is one of the best bodyweight exercises to build the muscles in the chest region. Moreover, with its simple motion, it could even be performed by beginners and casual trainers.

Instructions:

Step 1: Lie on the floor in a prone position with your feet placed close to each other. Quickly transition yourself into a plank with fully extended arms such that the entire body is resting on the palms and the toes. In the initial position, ensure that the palms are directly below the shoulders.

Step 2: With a stationary upper body, lower yourself until the chest is just inches above the floor.

Step 3: Hold for a moment and return to the initial position.

Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of repetitions.

Important tips: Vary the position of the palms to tone the different regions of the pectoral muscles. Perform the exercise while wearing a weighted vest for added resistance and improved customisability.
