Guide

Wide Push-Ups are a variation of the traditional push-up that emphasize the chest muscles while also engaging the shoulders and triceps. By placing your hands wider than shoulder-width apart, you increase the stretch and activation of the pectoral muscles, making this exercise an excellent choice for building upper body strength and definition.

  1. Begin in a plank position with your hands placed wider than shoulder-width apart and your feet together. Your body should form a straight line from head to heels.
  2. Engage your core and glutes to maintain a stable position throughout the exercise.
  3. Slowly lower your body towards the ground by bending your elbows, keeping them slightly flared outwards.
  4. Continue lowering until your chest is just above the floor, ensuring your body remains in a straight line.
  5. Push through your palms to extend your elbows and return to the starting position.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining control and proper form throughout each rep.
