Description:

Wide Arm Pushup is a variation of a standard pushup, and is designed to develop superior upper body strength.  The wide arm stance helps to specifically target the pectoral region.  Similar to any form of pushup, ensure that a tight body core is maintained throughout the entire movement.  Scale by performing standard pushups.

Process:

• begin in a standard pushup position
• widen hands so that they are beyond shoulder width
• engage core and bend elbows to lower body until chest hits the ground or comes close to it
• push up until arms are fully extended and finish back in the starting position
• a tight body position should be maintained at all times
