Today I'm bringing you another great variation for building your upper body with bodyweight exercises. This exercise is wide grip push up. Designed to hit the most out of your chest muscles (pecs), this is one of the best options for you, if you want to build upper body. Combine it with other variations (like decline push up) and feel the burn tomorrow! Enjoy!

To perform a pushup, lie down in prone position. Place the palms of your hands on the surface wider than shoulder width and straighten your arms at the elbows. The rest of your body should be perfectly straight. Only the palms of your hands and your hands and your toes should be touching the surface. To begin the exercise, start bending your arms at the elbows and lowering your body down until your chest touches the surface. Now from this position, push with your hands and start straightening your arms at elbows until you are back at the starting position. The wider your hands are placed, the bigger the emphasis on the pectoralis muscles (chest). Remember to keep your whole body straight and to go as low as you can while performing the exercise. Also, try to do the exercise slowly and with control. Pushups train mainly your pectoral muscles (chest), triceps and anterior and lateral deltoid (front nad middle part of the shoulders).
