Wide Grip Push-Ups:
-
Target Muscles: Pectoralis Major (Chest)
-
How to Do It: Start in a standard push-up position but place your hands wider than shoulder-width apart. Lower your body down by bending your elbows while keeping your body in a straight line. Push yourself back up to the starting position.
-
Benefits: Wide grip push-ups emphasize the outer chest muscles, helping to create a broader and more defined chest. This variation also increases the stretch on your chest, leading to better muscle activation.
