One of the best exercises for strength and size in your upper body part 1

If I told you that I know of an exercise that will build a large barrel chest, cannonball delts, thickly developed triceps what would your guess be?

The bench press? Nope. Okay maybe your thinking there must be a twist so perhaps its the incline bench press, decline? floor press? The dumbbell variations of all these exercises? Unilateral variations? Nope all wrong. The answer is the push up.

Now most of you probably think push ups are far too easy, maybe even a few of you think it can't build appreciable amounts of muscle. To be honest for most people this is actually a very accurate assumption. But theres a reason for that, and once this reason is dealt with, you've got yourself an exercise that lives up to the title of this article. The reason is simple, not many people know the proper way to execute a push up that maximises the targeted muscle groups. Many claim they cant build big pecs from performing push ups, this is due to the way they perform the push up not because its an ineffective exercise.
Part 2 will describe how to correctly perform a push up to maximise results. Stay tuned!
