5 Explosive Push Up Workouts To Build A Strong And Muscular Chest

#3 One-Arm Push-Up

Silvestre Stallone is the one to be credited for popularising the one arm push up during the iconic training montage of his 1976 classic Rocky.

Besides being a visual treat, the one-arm push up is also a great push up workout that you should really get down to practice. However, make sure you’re an expert at regular push-ups as balance is everything in this variant.

Step 1: Get into push up position with one hand on the ground while spreading your feet wide apart.

Step 2: Tighten your entire body and place your free hand behind your lower back

Step 3: Lower your body slowly until your chest nearly touches the ground before surging back to your initial position.

Important Tip: Begin with 2 sets of 8 reps.
