Suppose you love push-ups and you decided to work on your upper chest. Anyone familiar with basic physiology knows that elevated feet help to shift focus to shoulders and upper chest. Does it mean that your chest automatically becomes fuller and stronger by simply placing your feet up on a chair? The answer is no!
We will give you two tips that will help you make the elevated push-ups an upper chest building nugget of gold.
Tip 1. Keep your elbows out. If your elbows are pressed tight into your body when doing pushups (regular or elevated) your anterior deltoids take away from working your chest. To avoid this you need to keep your elbows out when bending them. This ensures that you’ll be working your chest!
Tip 2. Your upper chest works mainly when your body is in outmost inclined position. Simply put – the lower your head to the floor, the closer you are to your goal. As you probably already realized, you can lower your head further, when you bend your arms!
So here’s what we recommend. Every time you perform the elevated feet push-up, you pause for 3-10 seconds (depending on your conditioning level) while your arms are bent, prior to extending them. You’ll recognize the benefits of this workout the next day when you feel it in your chest.
Good luck with your training and tell us what you think of this Nugget.
