Standard Push ups are fine, but when you want to spice things up:
- Wide grip push up (engages shoulders more)
- Close grip push ups (engages triceps more)
- Clap push up (works on explosiveness and power) – plyometrics
- One leg push up (engages the core more)
- Hand release push up (helps those who want to ease the tension in the joints)
- Spiderman push up (improves hip mobility and engages the core more)
- One arm incline push up (utilizing your chest more in an unbalanced state)
- Decline push up (works the upper chest and shoulders)
- Incline push up (lower chest and triceps more)
- on the knees (modified for those who can’t yet do the standard push up)
- Shoulder tap push up (good for improving balance)
- slow negative push ups
- Pseudo planche (hands pointed toward the feet instead of forward. focuses on shoulders and biceps)
- Corkscrew push up
- Diamond push up (focuses on the triceps)
- medicine ball push ups
- renegade push ups
- kettlebell push ups
Of course there are more, but I listed a reasonable amount. If there is one you would like to add to the list, leave it in the comment section! do you have a favorite push up variation? leave it in he comment box!
