this fitness faqs video is all about growing a bigger chest at home we don't need fancy
equipment machines or weights to build muscle bodyweight bodybuilding is easy simple and fun
let's jump into this workout with a calisthenics unilateral chest fundamental take the hands wide
apart and we're going to alternate side to side keep the working elbow tucked inwards and the
assisting arm straight for strict form alternating is a nice variation for accumulating more reps
and more volume doing so makes it possible to manage tempo slow on the way down and squeezing
at peak contraction now for decreasing wrist strain or potential pain flare the fingers
outwards orientating in line with the elbow joint everyone's always confused about what the scapula
should be doing don't complicate stuff lower into retraction on the way down push through the thorax
into protraction on the way up time to play around with angles by using a decline to target the pec
muscles in a different way elevate the feet on anything that you can find and let's do push-ups
keep the trunk rigid be the boss and don't let yourself get sloppy through the abs and the spine
we have a wide hand placement once again to challenge the chest while we're still somewhat
fresh you'll notice even with the wide technique my elbows are tracking at a 45 degree flare
do this our goal is to stress the chest without unnecessary ligament strain remember it's chest
day not joint day right the chest touching the ground each rep is tactile feedback what's
required is achieved with our elevated reps it's not about quantity it's about quality do what you
do well and that's all anyone can ask still with me kudos you're ready for deficit style
chest building push-ups i recommend alive the hands on a surface high enough to fully stretch
the chest at depth before everyone watching absolutely tears me apart in the comment section
for using special equipment aka yoga blocks chill any stable elevation at home is going to work
we're not about calming stretching with hippie music here at fitness faqs
each their own of course instead we're about building muscle by body weight why calisthenics
works amazing for at home workouts is the body doesn't discern resistance weights or body weight
it all works we can all agree for building muscle it's about effort in relation to failure
progressive overload and training consistently multiple days per week people all over the world
with minimal equipment are making huge gains with practically nothing it's all about heart
and intention time to finish with some pump and fluff reps well deserved after previous exercises
if you've been training honestly to this point you're going to be feeling tired and pretty
exhausted this is why we're ending at an incline to squeeze out some more muscle building reps
of course the higher the incline the easier things become choose a height which suits your
strength in the moment okay but why the close grip well it provides an excellent adduction
contraction variation to target different fibers of the pecs and also it creates an incredible
chest pump don't let the fatigue and time training get the better of you slow negatives and pauses
every single rep purposeful effort always pays off sweet go ahead and begin earning those bodyweight
chest gains resting intuitively is going to be fine also enjoy the workout legends drop
