Side to Side Pushup - Build Your Upper Body With This Exercise
Pushups are an excellent way for you to build big arm muscles
, a big chest and develop powerful shoulder muscles. However the downside with standard pushups is that they do not work forever.
Once you have done them for a while your body gets used to the weight and the resistance caused by them and will not see much benefit as a result.
That is why instead of performing standard pushups you need to switch and start performing some kind of pushup variation. There are a huge number of different ways you can change your pushup, but in the end they get changed in two ways, either they become more difficult by adding more resistance or you change your stance or technique in some way to target different areas of muscle.
The side to side pushup does both of these. You will find this pushup is more difficult than the standard pushup and that it also targets a number of different muscle areas as well.
To perform a side to side pushup what you must do is on the way down for a pushup instead of going straight down the center you should go down towards your right hand. Then when you are at the bottom of the pushup you will be looking directly at your right hand.
Now you will move your head and upper body over to the left so you are looking at your left hand and push yourself up.
For the second rep you will go down towards your left hand then over to the right and up again.
