PUSHUP VARIATIONS FOR A STRONGER BODY

During 25 years of training, I’ve seen pushups used in high school gym classes, the military, and dojos, often as a form of punishment. With good reason: Pushups are tough. While people at gyms spend lots of time on benches and other fancy equipment, pushups may be an even more effective way to get you stronger, faster. And they’re far more versatile than people think. Pushup variations can strengthen your abs, back, legs –pretty much every muscle in your body, really. Here are 10 versions of the pushup you aren’t doing but should be, divided into four categories. Add them to your workout and you’ll see (and feel) powerful results.
