HOME CHEST Workout | Push Ups ONLY
What's up thenx athletes? It's. Chris Heria. Welcome to another thenx video. Today I'm, going to be giving you a home chest workout, consisting of only push-ups and push-up variations, [ Music ]. Now the push-up is one of the best upper body exercises for your chest, to increase both strength and muscle, growth and the fundamental standard.
Push-Up can be done absolutely anywhere with no equipment, and it also has many harder and easier variations which, when combined properly, can provide a complete workout to target all the areas of your chest, as well as your triceps delts core and many other muscles.
Now, for this workout we're, going to be using a method similar to the drop set technique, but with body weight exercises we're, going to start with the hardest push of variation and end with the easiest variation allowing us to Work past fatigue by continuing to train with an easier progression, instead of stopping to take a break to recover, which is going to increase our time under tension and help us reach hypertrophy.
Now hypertrophy is basically the increase of muscle size through exercise and it's. One of the key components to building muscle now the way to reach hypertrophy is to break down and challenge your muscles, whether with weight or without weight.
Using weight is one of the easiest ways to do that, because you can pick up a heavier weight and as soon as you reach your point of fatigue, you can go ahead. Drop that weight pick up a lighter weight and then continue on just like a drop set, but with body weight exercises because you're, not using external weights.
You have to use different progressions and variations of exercise that will use different amounts of resistance and that's. What we're, going to be doing today, starting with the hardest exercise, using the most amount of resistance and ending with the easiest exercise, and this is actually a method I've, been using since the day I started.
So if you're ready to get started, all you're going to need is to download the thenx app in the app store or google play store open up to the YouTube workout section. You should find this routine and you're ready to go.
If you come across an exercise that you can't. Do don't worry. I'm, going to be giving an easier variation for all the exercises, so, whether you're, a beginner intermediate or advanced you're, going to be able to follow along and get an effective workout for each exercise.
We're, going to be going for time instead of reps, so everybody's, going to be able to focus on perfect form and going at their own pace. 10. Perfect push-ups is always going to be better than 20 sloppy push-ups.
Not only for your physique and your strength, but also for your foundation and your training for years to come, we'll. Do each exercise for 40 seconds with a 20-second break in between each exercise. The 20 second break is gonna.
Allow us to get into position for the next exercise. If you're intermediate, it's, going to be 30 seconds with a 30 second break in between, and if you're, a beginner, it's. Going to be 20 seconds with a 40 second break in between, if you're ready to get started, the first exercise we're going to get into is going to be diamond push-ups with one of our legs raised.
This is gonna, allow us to emphasize more on our upper area of our chest as well as our core. Like this, we're gonna, come all the way down all the way back up. If this is too difficult your foot down, and do them like this and any other exercise that you may find difficult in this whole entire workout, you can always do on an elevated surface.
So choose a progression that challenges you let's, go for it. We're, going for 20 seconds each side, [ Music, ] three, two one! Let's switch [ Music, ], three, two one! There we go moving on to the next exercise that's, going to be elevated, wide push-ups.
So I'm gonna put my foot on an elevated surface. This is going to engage more of the upper chest. Come all the way down all the way back up with a wide grip 40 seconds, keep your back straight core tight! Go at your own pace! It's, not about how many you're, doing it's about how? Well, you're, doing [ Music ].
Here we go last couple: reps five, four, three, two one all right! Next move we're gonna get into is gonna, be one arm, fingertip push-ups, so we will get down to the ground with one hand we would have on our fingertips.
The other hand, like a normal push-up, 20 seconds, one side 20 seconds on the other side. If this is too difficult, you can always do this. On an elevated surface, let's, go for it! [ Music ]! Now, as you can see with this exercise, we're, emphasizing on one side, one arm one chest: tricep delt, strengthening each side individually, three two and one switch [ Music, ] hang in there we're.
Almost there five four three two and one all right, take a little break. Next exercise we're, going to be getting into is going to be explosive push-ups. Now, of course, you want to explode off the ground, but if you can't just push as hard as you can, that's perfectly fine, even if you don't get off the ground.
The point is to explode and give it as much power as you can, every single rep and of course you can always do it on an elevated surface as well. So we're gonna get down boom, [, Music, ], music, [, Music, ].
Five four three, two one whoo all right: we are almost there just a couple more exercises to go. The next one we're gonna get into is gonna, be slow. Push-Up. We're, just gonna do one rep. Take 20 seconds to come down and 20 seconds to go back up, and if it's too hard to do on the floor, do it on an elevated surface, let's! Go for it! Keep your core tight form perfect! As you're, coming down don't bend your body [ Music, ], [, Music, ], [, Music, ], all right there.
We have it all right, just two more exercises to go. The next exercise we're gonna get into some good old-fashioned push-ups. Every time we get to the top. I want you to bring one knee up to your chest and that's.
Gonna be a push-up knee raise, looks like this again. You can always do these on an elevated surface down bring up one knee down, bring up the other knee 40 seconds. [ Music ] squeeze your core. Almost there pace yourself, five, four, three, two and one all right.
We are down to the last exercise the easiest exercise. This is going to be incline push-ups, so we're, just going to find an inclined surface to do our push-ups. On top of absolutely anybody can do this exercise the higher it is the less body weight the lower it is the more body weight find the height that challenges you and get right into it right to the chest all the way back up.
You should still have perfect push-up form, even if you're, doing it on top of an elevated surface, your hands should come right by your chest, and then you should come back out with your back and your body completely straight core tight [, Music ] we're.
Almost there, it's, your last one make it count: squeeze [ Music, ], ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four three two and one there. We have it a killer home chest workout using only push-ups and push-up variations and in just a couple minutes I have a crazy pump.
