Blast your Pecs With This Ignored Exercise

When it comes to training the chest, the first exercises we tend to think about are the bench press, incline bench press, and pec flyes. What we tend to exclude almost all the time are good ol' push ups. Push ups are a great upper body developing exercise, that has been used for decades, and then suddenly gets forgotten and ignored amongst all of these new machines and weight exercises.

Push ups have been working for so long that instead of ignoring them we should be incorporating them into our workout routines. This exercise may be just what your muscles need to break through your plateau and encourage more growth.

I have found that putting in a couple of sets of push ups after my chest workout really helps finish my pecs off and give them that extra little bit that will entice more overall development.
