THE MIRACLE OF THE PUSHUP AND DIPS
A solid hard chest, horse shoe triceps and ripped abs too. Sky rocketing upper body power. Even bragging rights among friends. The pushup and its cousin the bodyweight dip offer all this and much more. If you had to choose only two exercises to perform this would be the first half (the second being pull ups of course!)
Exploring the Pushup
Used everywhere from the school yard, to the gym and dojo to the sand and dirt of special forces training camps the push up is rightly beloved as one of the simplest and best exercises we could ever perform. Embrace it.

Here's some pushup tips to keep in mind.
1. Always use Proper Pushup Form. Many of us have picked up bad habits in the way we execute our pushups over the years.
Here's how to master proper pushup form:
* Keep your self stiff and tight - including your abs.
* Elbows at a forty five degree angle at the sides of your body.
* Take a breath as you lower your chest to the floor.
* Exhale as you press up.
* Repeat.
2. Engage your Mind while doing Pushups. It's helpful to visualize your palms exploding through the floor while doing your pushups as a means to building more explosive power.
3. Raise your Feet for a Upper Chest Emphasis. Place your feet on a chair, bed or better yet a inflatable exercise ball to focus the emphasis of the pushup more greatly on the upper chest and shoulders. This can help develop a more pleasing physique by most accounts.
4. Don't be Frightened to go High Volume. It's not uncommon for Bodyweight Training enthusiasts to do 100, 250 or even 500 pushups every few days....
