Best bodyweight pushing exercise?
April 25th, 2009 | by Turbulence |
cmpunk asked:
I’m pretty much limited to my bodyweight cause I have no weights, and I’m already doing chin ups/pull ups for my biceps, back, and rear shoulders, but now I need an exercise for the opposite of that, so which would it be
1)parallel bar dips
2) one arm push ups
3)handstand pushup

well dips help your triceps which are opposite your biceps.
pushups are for your biceps mainly, but give that whole area a workout
handstand pushups- i think that would be your delts primarily as well as a total area workout.

Basic pushup with both hands builds, chest, shoulders, back, forearms, biceps, triceps and helps to stabilize your core muscles as well.
To make them harder, put your feet up on a chair. If this is not hard enough, strap on a backpack with books for extra resistance. Anyone can build a great body without fancy equipment.

parallel bar dips (from the three you mentioned) and/or diamond pushups

All of them would be good.
Parallel bar dips work your triceps.
One arm push ups would work the same as regular push ups (triceps and chest) but would put more stress on the one arm you’re using.
Handstand push ups work your shoulders.
All of them will help your upper body but don’t forget your lower body.
This could be..
Lunges, squats, running etc.
Also, you should work on your abs.
You can do regular crunches or you could climb up on your pull up bar and hang upside down from your legs then do crunches, they will put more stress on your abs than regular crunches.
