💪 Chest Workout

For chest, the push up is still the best home exercise there is. Just changing where you place your hands hits a different part of the muscle.

💪 Intermediate

Push Ups

Chest, shoulders, triceps

One exercise that works chest, shoulders, triceps and core all at once. The backbone of any home workout.

3 sets x 8-20
💪 Beginner

Knee Push Ups

Chest, triceps

Start here if a full push up is not happening yet. Same exercise, simply less bodyweight to move.

3 sets x 8-12
💪 Advanced

Diamond Push Ups

Triceps, inner chest

Bringing your hands together shifts the load onto your triceps. Considerably harder than a normal push up.

3 sets x 8-15
💪 Beginner

Wall Push Ups

Chest, shoulders

The easiest push up there is. If a knee push up is still too hard, this is where you start - and there is nothing wrong with starting here.

3 sets x 15-20
💪 Beginner

Incline Push Ups

Lower chest, shoulders

A push up with your hands raised on something. The step between wall push ups and floor push ups - and the fastest way to get to a full one.

3 sets x 10-15
💪 Intermediate

Wide Push Ups

Outer chest

A normal push up with the hands set wider. Moving the hands out shifts the work from your triceps onto the outer chest.

3 sets x 10-12
💪 Advanced

Decline Push Ups

Upper chest, shoulders

A push up with your feet raised. More of your body weight moves onto your arms, and the work shifts to the upper chest.

3 sets x 8-12
💪 Advanced

Archer Push Ups

Chest, one side at a time

A push up where one arm does most of the work while the other stays straight. The last step before a one arm push up.

3 sets x 6-8 each side
