If you’re sick of doing the same old exercises—the same old way—it’s probably time to rethink your approach. The pushup can also create even more challenge once you start introducing a handful of variations, and those variations can easily become the backbone of a vicious chest workout. By varying the angle of your torso relative to your upper arms, or shifting the focus of the pushup to focus on negative contractions, pauses, or holds, you shift the way the move stimulates your chest. ~ Berceste
