Best Push Up Ever (PERIOD!)

There are two main reasons why this is the case. First, in order to fully contract the chest you must incorporate horizontal adduction at the shoulder joint. This is impossible if your hands are kept fixed in place to the ground right? Not necessarily. In order to contract the chest and feel the inner chest fully engage, you need to realize how effective relative joint motion can help you. You can get horizontal adduction at the shoulder by either moving your shoulder on your body or by moving your body on your shoulder. In this chest exercise, I show you how the pushup can be altered slightly to include body movement on the fixed shoulder to fully contract the chest and get bigger pecs. All you have to do is slightly turn your chest towards one side as you push up. You will want to push more with the arm you are turning towards, which brings up the second major advantage of this variation. You are getting some one sided overload which can help you to turn the basic pushup into more of a mass building movement. Don’t worry about creating asymmetrical chest development. All you have to do is alternate rotations to the right and left sides until reaching failure throughout the set. Building a big chest with pushups is something that many say is impossible. That’s not true.
