It is possible to build a bigger chest with a push-up only routine, but you better choose the right push-up variations and know how to build your routine properly. In this video I'm going to show you the perfect push-up routine that you can do anywhere no matter what skill level you're at, I'm going to show you a beginner, intermediate, and advanced workout that will push you to the limit and make your chest bigger without any equipment. To start we need to look at some of the limitations we find with other push-up routines. First of all, anything that starts with a rep prescription is inherently flawed. It's very difficult to recommend a goal-directed rep routine with push-up variations that doesn't take into account the different strength levels of those performing the exercises. Next, exercise choice is critical in a properly developed push-up routine. If you don't take into account the fact that you'll need shoulder adduction to get a full chest contraction and only choose exercises that keep your hands separated, you're not going to get an optimal chest workout. Here are three versions of the push-up that will increase relative arm adduction and activate your pectoral muscles better than ever. As for specific exercises, it's important to note that just because your routine consists primarily of push-ups doesn't mean you won't be able to work the upper, medial, and lower chest. This is simply not true. With careful choice of variations that position your arms above the horizontal, we can achieve that at chest height and below the horizontal. We can work the different fibers of the pectorals preferentially and therefore create a perfect chest workout. Add in the fact that it's important to speed up what you slowed down and therefore you should include at least one explosive push-up variation in your routine and you've got yourself a very effective push-up sequence. Try this and see if you can progress to the point where you complete all the advanced levels of the exercise without having to take extra time to finish them.
