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

#5 Chest Cross Push Up

Extremely similar in nature to the clap push up, the chest cross push up is a slightly more advanced variant that requires excellent timing and breathing. Advancements aside, this is another push-up workout that’s extremely good for your chest as well as for giving your shoulders and arms a good workout.

Step 1: Take a push-up stance with your arms and legs straight, shoulders above the wrists, and core engaged.

Step 2: Inhale deeply, and as you exhale, slowly bend your elbows, lowering your entire body to the ground.

Step 3: When above, quickly lift your hands off the ground cross them over your chest and get them back on the floor in one rapid motion before easing yourself down.

Important Tip: Begin with 3 sets of 12 reps.
