Push-up is one of the best strength-training exercises.
It is a compound exercise which stimulates the main muscle groups within the body.
Doing push-ups strengthens your chest, shoulders, and arms.
No special equipment is required, however, I recommend using push-up handles.
You can train anytime and in any place.
Push-Up is a bodyweight exercise
One of the difficulties doing bodyweight exercises is adjusting the difficulty level to the trainee's level.
There are trainees who can barely do one or two repetitions and others, fitter trainees can do dozens of repetitions without exhaustion.
The solution to both kinds of trainees is to pick the right difficulty.
In this video you will see different levels of the push-up exercise which will allow you to pick the right level for your fitness level.
Push up's training program
Here are some simple guidelines for an effective push-up training program:
- Find a level in which you can do no less than three sets of 10 repetitions.
- On every training week, try to increase the number of repetition you can do in each set.
- When you reach 20 repetitions in three sets, it's time to move up to the next level.
In the new level, you will succeed to do fewer repetitions than in the old one, but its ok. - Try to increase the number of repetition until you reach 20 repetitions and then move up to the next level again, and so on...
